Stockings

My Great Aunt Bette...{my Grandma's sister} who lives just down the street from us knit (knitted?? is that a word? whatever) everyone in her family a Christmas stocking...and then everyone in their families..and their families...and then there just got to be too many for her to keep up. So sad! My brother-in-law Jeff got the last one in our family. So that left me with my stocking that I LOVE, and then none to match. Luckily, Bette had a brother named Max...and we got his! (thanks, Norma) and then I covered another brother's name with stitching to make Jeff's pseudo stocking to match...but how was I going to come up with a matching one for Ivy??? Problem solved: I found a lady on Craigslist to knit one to match, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. She did such a great job!

So, here's a little shout out to anyone of my cousins, or my mom's cousins...or their kids...or something. If you want some stockings to match your awesome ones that Bette made, let me know, and I'll give you her number! {my stocking says A. Joy...kind of fun, huh?}
