Hope you had a Merry Christmas! We actually had a white Christmas here and now the day after it's coming down like gangbusters! Hopefully I can get outside later and show you all a picture.
This is our mantle this year. My first needlepointed stocking was the teddy bear for my son when he was 5. He is now 23 and still loves it. Then came the one for my daughter, the white one with the roses, then my mom, dad, hubby (who was my boyfriend when I made his), finally mine. Next came the ones for the dogs (don't ask) and then there are several more for family members who live out of state. So over the years I have made more than a dozen. I just love making them but unfortunately they are getting harder to find. I always line them and they have a velvet backing and cord that is hand stitched around the front at the seams.
There are a few of my Christmas Barbies too. Unfortunately in this house it's hard to display them so I just swap them out when I am in the mood or for a holiday.
