Here's a couple close-ups of the lining. The fabric is so so cute, I have to show it off.
This was pretty much my first sewing project, but there will be more. Oh yes! There will be more.
Ahhh, sweet domesticity!

Christmas Crafting...never too early!
Using my new sewing machine (thanks, Mom) and some patience, I crafted new Christmas stockings for John and I. I bought enough fabric to make matching ones for the baby and future babies that come along, and I think that these stockings will bring about a little bit of tradition to our new family. John grew up with a stocking tradition on Christmas morning. On Christmas Eve, Peggy and Steve let the boys open their presents, but on Christmas morning, they did stockings. The stockings were always jam-packed with treasures, and this tradition has carried through the years and is still strong today. I love Christmas at the Noel house, and I want to bring this tradition into our home. So, without further ado, I give you our homemade stockings that will hopefully last for the next twenty years:

Your stockings are wonderful! (I hope you don't mind my commenting, I'm browsing through blogs about stockings and stocking stuffers and your blog came up.) I don't know how to sew in the slightest, so those stockings would be completely beyond my abilities. My husband and I don't have kids but we enjoy filling each other's stockings -- I haven't found the perfect stockings for us yet, though.
