Christmas eve came and went.. and what was I thinking? We needed new stockings to hang by the fireplace. So I did a little reorganization of my list and made some time to sew these up. They go along with my Dr Seuss tripod. I first saw some really cute little ones here that Christina made.. which led me to the tutorial and the template at A Fanciful Twist. I scrounged up all the colorful felt I could find.. enlarged the pattern by 130%, then also made them a little longer to hold the stuff. They were a hit with the family.. and my children are all adults.
And look what almost bloomed today!
It was such a Merry Christmas this year. I am so thankful for my family, and that I either visited or had phone calls from all of my brothers and dad, and all my kids got home safe. We are enjoying not having to get ready and go anywhere and just lazing around all evening. Santa brought me a tripod! So no more boxes stacked up. ☺
I don't know if I will get around to visit everyone before tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to hearing about your Christmas Day.
And looking forward to some quilting... ☺
And look what almost bloomed today!

Eileen,your stocking definetly are cute. You must visit Dr. Seuss land one day at Universal Studios.
I am glad your day was nice.
Feliz Navidad.
Good to hear that you had a good day! Ours was nice and quiet too - just the way I like to spend Christmas. Your stockings are adorable. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
Your stockings turned out so cute. I want your secret to just "reorganizing" your time to find time to make stockings....ON Christmas eve!!!!! Wow woman I am impressed :) I'm so glad you had a good Christmas Eileen :)
Hugs,
Tammy
Good to hear you had a very happy Christmas. I love the stockings!
Wow, just reorganize the list and make some time! You must be related to Melanie, who also has some extra hours in her days! I always need to leave something undone in order to find time for sudden important things.
Glad to hear you are having a peaceful time with your family. That's what I'm having, too. The Christmas cooking makes the following days easier: just cook some potatoes for the cold fish, and warm everything else up again, and again, as long as the casseroles and sauce last!
Hello there Eileen, Firstly, I am more than glad to have hopped over here earlier :)
Now..I have seen many stockings here, every mall and complex there are plenty, but definitely none even close as pretty as yours!! Look at all those colours..you've combined them just perfect. Wow..I cant wait to see that cactus bloom. Happy day to you my good friend ;p
your stockings are so great! and how very special that your bloom chose to make an appearance! ☺
Very cute stockings at your place today..
My christmas was a very nice one too, love it!
Now I might find some time for sewing ......
love the stockings. I wanted to make some too...maybe for next Christmas.
These are so darling. I love the stockings. Some day I will make some. I've never made a Christmas stocking ever - can you believe that! Yours make me want to make some - well someday. The cactus bloom looks like it will be lovely.
Who would not like those stockings? They are so cute. And your cactus bloomed right on time. Yay!
The stockings are wonderful! I must think about making some for next year. If I start now I have half a chance...
Glad Santa brought you a tripod!
That photo of the stockings could be a Christmas card next year! NEAT colors and trims on them. They do have the Suess-like whimsy to them.
Merry Xmas to you too!! It´s a pleasuere when I read a comment from you in my blog, thanks so much !!!
Oh, I have that plant and now all the flowers are blooming !!!
Merry Christmas! Those stockings are so fun!
Congratulations on the new tripod.

Merry Christmas Eileen! I hope you are enjoying the holidays :)
I love the stockings you made, they are so cheerful!
What beautiful stockings! And your Christmas cactus bloomed right on time! My mom always had one of those while we were growing up. I'm so happy your Christmas was merry!
Love the stockings.... Sounds like your Christmas was very relaxing... Ours too... Dinner with my daughter and the 3 grandchildren... They are all grown and in university.... I refer to them as Rebecca the artist, Emilee the dancer/actress and Andrew the doctor!!! Great kids,,, on the 23rd and dinner with good friends on the 25th...
However the snow is always a worry for travelling and we sure had a few nasty blizzards..... Have had rain for 3 days so all the snow is pretty well gone!!!!
I am always happy when everything settles down and I can relax in my studio and do some creating....
Happy New Year
