Stockings

We spent the holidays at home this year for the first time. It was very, very nice and very quiet. In honor of our first Christmas alone as a family I decided to make us our very own stockings. If you know me very well, you will know that I have an inability to do anything simple, however insignificant. I decided to do a ridiculously complicated pattern that I made up myself and these little stockings ended up taking way too much time during the holiday season- and afterwards. I finally finished them... wait for it... today! Seeing as I dedicated so much blood (literally- getting needle pricked), sweat and tears to them, I can't resist showing them off.

Here is a back view. I think I like the back better than the front, unfortunately.

Here is the front view. I used pieces of fabric that I had lying around the house for the patchwork.
