I finished my stockings before Christmas with Amber's help. These beauties are made out of felt which I picked up in various and sundry sized at our local 100 yen store.
You will likely notice that 1) Helen is three years old and now has a stocking, and 2) there are more stockings than people in our family. To explain the first, she did have another stocking but I realized after the first Christmas of unwrapping socks to try and fill it up that I would rather have small stockings. The second point can be explained by indecision. I couldn't decide which patterns I wanted to make the best. I think the extra stocking is okay since it lends balance to our bookshelf-come-fireplace. As a side note, they are being held up by chopsticks. Every month we find a new use for those wooden wonders.
Last month Jane had her first haircut. Although I'm the first to admire a good mullet, I decided that it was time for Jane's golden locks to come off. It was a big day for Helen too because she got bangs.

I still really like the Christmas tree stocking. Those cute little bells really add a lot of excitement. Are they still hanging up? It is almost the end of January...
