My cute Great Grandma always made these felt stockings for us when we were little. When Luke was born my mom decided to carryon the tradition and make one for Luke. I decided that I should probably make one for Mark so that we could each have one. I wish I could say that I got right on it and had it done the first year Luke was born...not even close. I am not good with projects that I can't complete in one maybe two days. This poor stocking took me three years to finish. I kept putting it away and finding other projects that sounded more interesting. This year I was determined to have it done and hanging on the mantel. Obviously, my stocking was made when I was born and the patterns have changed a bit. Mark thinks that I need to make a new stocking for me now to match his and Luke's. I love my stocking because my grandma made it! It's fun having our three stockings hanging on the mantel and knowing that Grammie is in charge of making the rest.
