The Big Sister to my adopted daughters is getting married on the 15th of February. She is unofficially one of ours also. Over the years she has been very attentive to the girls and is involved with them. She is here for every Holiday and celebration. She takes the girls so we can go away and she does things with them when she can. She supports me and what I am trying to teach the girls. She watched me make the girls' stockings. And sees all the other stockings of the whole family. She and her fiance have stockings here at the house that we use. You know the little cheap kind.
Leticia asked me to make her and Nick stockings for them as a wedding gift. And I agreed.
I searched the internet for patterns and I went to my local cross stitch shop, the Attic and took and sent Leticia pictures of stockings. She picked out one she liked.
And the winner pattern is....
Then we went to The Attic and picked out the fabric and thread colors for her stockings. They will both have the same image but one will be on a light grey and the other on antique ivory. I will reverse the colors of the letters for their names and the words on the stockings. Just so they have some individuality.
So this will be my main project for the year, to finish two stockings. Thank heaven I have a good light with a magnifying glass on the pole so I can see what I am doing.
