The stocking I have grown up using is a long time Dyer tradition. My grandma made mine for me and I have used it since my first Christmas. I think the tradition started with my great-grandma (at least that is what my dad told me) and is still going on today. My grandma made the stockings until she got really sick and passed away, then my mom took over for our family. When she passed away my sister, Marie, and my sister-in-law, Amber, made the stockings. I decided that I would make Ellie's and had no idea what I was getting myself into. I definitely do not know how to sew. Luckily, Marie taught me how to do it and helped me a ton. Thanks so much Marie!! Anyway, I finally finished Ellie's stocking tonight! We also made one for my niece, Kaitlyn, since she did not have one yet. Amber, I'm shipping Kaitlyn's stocking to you tomorrow. :)
Here is the picture of our little family's stockings all hanging up. (I'm sad we don't have a fireplace to hang them up.) You can tell that my stocking is way older than Greg and Ellie's.
I'm excited to get to use them in a couple of weeks!! Feliz Navidad everyone!

We started ours.... not so cute as yours! Maybe you should help my mom and Lori finish them up... Text my mom and tell her to bring them down this week! Ellie's is so CUTE!
Michelle, Lara and I always joke that we are domestic godesses. I think you could join us soon with all this pie making, sewing, etc. :)
Great job Michelle! I am trying to finish Eloise's stocking today for Julie before we come to the wedding. We'll have to compare notes!
