Day #21 {advent calendar}



These were fun stockings to make!!  I obviously had to do Owens.  I have quilted stockings that I made years ago that hang over the fireplace for "pretty" sake.  Does Santa fill these puppies . . . HECK NO!!!  

We have had the kids choose a sock of their choice Christmas Eve, and lay it on the hearth of the fireplace for Santa to come and fill with goodies.  This got challenging for Santa when socks, especially GOOD socks {the ones that have cute patterns and aren't bought at Walmart!} were filled too full, thus stretching them out!

So I decided to make fleece stockings for Santa to fill this year. Something a little more Christmas-y, and kid-contributed. Aren't they cute!  The kids LOVED the added touch of the bells and the stuffing in the toes.

Look at you! You are so crafty! I love them. Let us know when you are free for dinner. You've got to meet the little one. By the way, I was so impressed with the superglue job. Wow! You handled that way better than I would've. Merry, Merry!
