Stockings...check

I have been wanting to make stockings for years now. I never really came up with an idea or came across anything inspiring to help my creative juices. Bryce and I could live without stockings, but the idea that Cap would spend his first Christmas without a proper stocking was just inconceivable. After going back and forth and putting a ridiculous amount of thought into it, I had to just go for it. So with no idea in my head I went to the fabric store to check out some goodies. I came home with some fun colors but still no specific idea in mind. Once I started cutting and creating it just kind of came together. I was putting too much thought behind it and I needed to simplify the process and creation. Once I did that, I came up with something simple and symbolic for our family.


This one is for Cap. His letter 'C' is made out of
blue and green buttons. My stocking is blue and
Bryce's is green, so C is half and half of us
The symbol on the toe represents our family.
God being the big white shape, then Bryce,
me, and Cap is the orange button on top.
The 'M' is for mom. Crazy still that I am a mom!
It has a lot of the same symbolism
only mine and Bryce's have an added orange bottom
near the symbol. It represents Cap. I have made
these where it will be easy to add
buttons later on.

Double bonus on Bryce's. The 'D' stands
for Danger and Dad! Outstanding.
So there you have it folks.
Stockings are complete.

This is just a little blue-eyed bonus!
