We put away the christmas decorations today and it occurred to me that I hadn't written a post about the stockings that almost never got made. I started gathering supplies for these months ago, and they sat on my desk ignored until a week before Christmas (when everything else is happening) when I decided they absolutely HAD to be finished by the 25th. The family needs matching stockings! So here they are, made from strings of wool felt beads, grey wool flannel found by my Mum at the back of her sewing cupboard (no one in Adelaide sells wool flannel at this time of year!), with wool flannel from my stash used to applique our first initial onto each. They were a rush job and may need some tweaking next year. But, seriously, that's probably not going to happen. So I hope we enjoy them in all their handmade charm wonkiness for christmases to come.
