Christmas Stocking!

It's hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner - well, I know there's still Halloween and Thanksgiving first, but still, I need to start thinking about it!  And, most importantly, Ben needs a Stocking.  For our first Christmas together back in 2000, Jake and I exchanged stockings that we'd made for each other - it's still crazy to me that he made me a stocking - ah, the early days of love...Growing up I had a felt stocking with an angel on it that my mom made for me (I think she made it).  I loved that stocking, and the image of the angel stayed with me, creating a love in me for little angel ornaments and other cute felt creatures that reminded me of the stocking.  I'd like to create something easy and fun for Ben that he can use for years and will give him wonderful memories of waking up on Christmas morning, running downstairs, and seeing his stocking full of candy, fruit, and trinkets.
