It's finally done and Ben is almost three years old! Daves mom and my mom each made our own Christmas stockings when we were little. We are both really stubborn and like our stockings and didn't want to give them up so we could look matchy matchy as a new family. So we decided to be eclectic. We each kept our own stockings and I made Siena one and finally Ben has one. This is the third one that I made. I hated the other ones. Siena's is a basic felt cut and stitch around the picture. I decided I wanted to try cross stitching Ben one. O my gosh I will never pick up a needle and cross stich again. I hated it. I think I am going blind now but it is done. I definately didn't know what I was getting myself in to. So for the next baby I will be doing one of those easy felt ones again. I feel like I should get started right now for the next baby so she will have one by the time she is five. I am glad it is finally done with.
