Spent the better part of yesterday making TEN of these babies...! They are serving double duty - they are not just stockings (THAT MATCH - there goes my CDO again), but they are for seating placement! I'm hosting pre-Christmas dinner with 7 adults and two toddlers, so table space is precious...
I made a template from an old stocking, and used an alphabet stencil that I had on hand... they are lined, and the top has a reinforced stitch (it is burlap after all...). I wanted to ensure they would fit over the back of the chairs, so I made the loop extra long (measure twice, cut once), and added the button hole :D
I'm a little thrilled about how my simple dining room light looks... Hobby Lobby 50% off swag, plastic dangles, and a re-purposed sparkle ball swag...
and of course, my Advent calendar, with the story of Jesus' birth inside!
I'm ready for Christmas... with everything in place for the family, I can enjoy the "REAL" reason for the Season, Happy Birthday Jesus...!!
