Carrying on family Christmas traditions and starting new ones for our family is important to Russ and I. One special tradition that Russ' mom started when he was a boy was making felt stockings for the family. I decided that this would be a meaningful tradition to carry on in our home too. Russ still has the stocking his mom made him, so this fall I started sewing stockings for Hud, Han and I. Hud's was quite involved, and took probably over 60 hours to finish. Han's wasn't quite as detailed, and mine, is still a couple of hours away from being complete. I've ordered a really cute stocking to make this year for our China doll. I've really enjoyed putting in the time to make these family treasures. It's exciting to know that they will be used for many years!
