One of my special projects is making each Grandiebaby their own special unique Christmas stocking..... I love thinking up what they might like and adding special little pieces to them....
This is my latest.....
(no prizes for guessing who it is for!!)
I used an angel from Nancy Holvorsen's Angels Among Us ....
and a special daisy button for the dot on the 'i'
(I just love that background fabric)
.... ringing bells in the stars and ric-rac under the patchworked sock turn...
the little hand charm on the bottom of her skirt says 'hand made'
Lovely little Maddy is ready for Santa.....
I make the stockings nice and big... since it is not my responsibility to fill them....
We are waiting on the next baby... so there will be another stocking to make
Today is due date... hmmmm, waiting, waiting....

Hoping your next post has a special announcement :)

You have been busy...and a fun busy at that. You have me in the Christmas spirit now.....just awesome!
Matilda will love her new stocking! And I love your new header! Wonderful!
Christmas is a coming...definitely to your house already. It is never to early to start sew I best get started to. great stocking your grand babies sure are lucky.Hope babe arrives soon and safe.
You're light years ahead of me Fiona. The things you've made are so sweet and will be treasured I'm sure. I'm still sending birthday gifts out that I've made: purses for each of my granddaughters (all 5 have birthdays from Sept through November!). And for my daughter (November birthday). My sons' birthdays are done: one in Sept and one in Oct. So by the time Christmas comes I'm frazzled, but somehow manage to pull it off every year. If I was SMART I'd really start preparing for the fall birthdays and Christmas in January.
Thank you for sharing your lovely projects.
Gorgeous stocking Bubz, and once again you are keeping busy...
Gorgeous stocking for your little angel...how fun for Father Christmas to fill it up for her...
hope your waiting doesn't last too much longer...
You have been busy. The stocking is gorgeous, I love the angel and the tags are such a lovely idea! Congratulations to your Ausi bloke too.
Nope not feeling it yet, maybe because it's still fairly mild here, it has to be freezing cold for it to feel like Christmas for me. Loving the Christmas stocking. Is it really only two months away....heck!!! x
Oh, that stocking is GORGEOUS!!!!!! I am betting Matilda will be loving this for many years to come!! And your other items all look gorgeous too! You definitely have a knack for fabric and embellishment choices!!
Love the Christmas stocking. It's gorgeous. And the tags are lovely, too.
Waiting for this baby.......
I love the Christmas Stocking...I love Angels, of course. I think you could sell these and make you a little mad money.
A little tease there, huh.
Well, except for the football, I am almost finished with my Christmas Shopping....have to get some checks to my grands in Texas, though and finish up the scrapbook to mail.
It is just around the bend, isn't it.
There is a nip in the air.
