Nate's stocking

This stocking is a little bit representative of Nate himself--it was a lot more complicated than I thought it would be, but I would choose it all over again! Playful, happy, sparkly, and a deep capacity to feel and share joy!  You can't see it very well, but there are sparkly threads through all the snowflakes, the hats, and the blue letters.  I didn't even know it was sparkly when I choose it, but the sparkles connect it to Nate even more.  Anyway, SOO glad I'm done!  


Here's Camden's stocking  (When I made it, I imagined him being the one at the top, putting on the star, but now I would imagine him as the one at the bottom, giving directions!)

And a sneak peak at the one I hope to have finished for Mckay next year (Yeah, right! Maybe in 2 more years!)

Snow Bears Stocking Counted Cross Stitch Kit-16" Long 14 Count



I just think those polar bears sort of look like Mckay! (And the whole stocking only has white, a few shades of grey, red, pink, purple, and black.  The blue part is the fabric, not stitches.  Hopefully Joann's will have a good Black Friday sale with free shipping!)
