The stocking were all hung…
I am going to play along with Whimsylove today. Stocking show off day!!
This is the fireplace. It is the last thing to do in the house. It needs a mantle and a blower to work right. nice hugh?! some day…some day. The little plant on the right is a Christmas Cactus. I think i’ve had it for 3 or so years now. It keeps blooming. I can’t seem to kill it—oh, and neither can the cat. 
It is sitting in a wedding presen from Isreal. It is a bunch of carved camels and a bowl. When we first got it, I was like…ok. but now, i just love it. Something different. Oh, I should make a quick stitch camel…..how funny would that be? anywho…
The stockings i picked up at Joanne’s a few years ago. They are really a great size and have that little pocket on the front for letters to santa–can you see a few sticking out?
Give me some thoughts though on making them personal. I am thinking i could stitch names on the top fluffy part…but is it too fluffy? Should i add toes? birds? snowmen? hammers? or a pile of coal? hee hee ok really —–anything? Let me know, or link me some examples.
I think it’s time to add some personality to them.
p.s.- the little one is for sage, the cat.
Look how cute this bag is!!! It is lined with quilted insulated fabric and the front is a pocket. The pull string keeps everything inside……and what is inside you ask?
I Love TheHIVE
I love the pocket stockings! I have never seen that before—too cute!
Score on the mini iron! Adorable!
Thanks for playing! Merry Christmas!
Love your red stockings- and the letter for santa pocket- too cute!!
You could stich the names acroos the bottom of the stockings, there is plety of room if the top is too fluffy.
I love your fireplace! It looks so Christmas-ie.
Papersource.com has a cool stocking with felt dots all over it. But what if you took the dots and stitched on that? And then attached the felt dots to the fuzz?

Your stockings are too cute, hung in a row. I love that you have a little one for your cat… my dog has one too, but it’s a little bit bigger.
The Purl Bee is featuring Christmas crafts all this week and had a neat tutorial on making felt snowflakes and stockings, maybe it will help get the creative juices flowing? Doesn’t hurt to take a look!
