Christmas Stockings and Baby Booties

I just finished a total of 7 Christmas stockings this morning. Ironically, we don't really decorate for Christmas, but I began making these stockings based on a request from a friend of mine. She likes vintage style materials and wanted me to make them with any vintage fabric that I had on hand. She also wanted them to be monogrammed with "mom", "dad", "grandma", and her daughter's name. It seemed like a win-win situation to me. I get to use up some of my cool vintage fabric in my ever expanding fabric stash, and she gets some handmade heirloom Christmas decorations that I hope she and her family will enjoy for many years to come.

Wooden Sesame Street Count Puzzle

So what do you get a little girl that likes the color purple, puzzles, and most importantly, the Count from Sesame Street?

Well since they don't make a Count puzzle, or at least no one around here makes one that I could find, you end up making her a very custom puzzle that no one else will have.

I hope she likes it! I certainly enjoyed making it with her great-grandfather's expert help.
