Finally. Big fat check off my list....now back to our regularly scheduled chore-ness, laundry, dishes, bathing children, that kind of thing.
I opted to keep them simple, in order to actual complete them all in the same year. I figure I can easily go back and add embellishments (rick rack, ribbon, embroidered names, etc.) in the future if I want to. But they are done and they are real stockings that we can actually put things in because they are all fancy and lined, thanks to Megan's special skype/online tutorial. Happy Birthday Megan!!!!! by the way.
And while we are at it, you can go ahead and tell me that I have a shocking lack of talent in the holiday-decorating-department. It has never been my cup of tea, as it were, to purchase "temporary" decorations that I have to put up, and then take down just weeks later. It's another weakness, just like my disdain for making fancy birthday cakes. I love holidays, I am just a lazy decorator. But I am getting better and making more of an effort, really I am.
And I have added a couple other projects that I have done in the last week or two here.

LOVE them! I love Skype too. I think you should post a tutitorial. My Wrangler Jeans stockings that I made in HIGH SCHOOL are due for retirement!
AH, very cute! I'd pay you to make some stockings for me, as I'm terrified of my sewing machine...simply petrified. Pretty sad, since my Grandmother was an amazing seamstress (I'd go so far as to say legendary in our little town) and my mother taught home-ec. Oh well, I think I've got their talent for making baked goods to fall back on...and the backside to prove it! :)
i LOVE your stockings!!!!! so so so so cute!
How are we our mother's daughters and still don't like decorating for Christmas? I agree. Too much work. Too much to store. Call me the Grinch.
But I love your stockings! I do need to do that for my family. I don't love the ones we have.
You don't remember how long it took me to get our family's stockings finished, do you. Here's a hint. Most of you had left home by the time they were done. I think yours are darling and I think you are waaaay too modest about your decorating talents!
