Handmade is Heartmade - Making a Stocking
A handmade gift is a heartmade gift, don't you think? I love to get creative and make presents for my friends and family. Some gifts I have made and given to loved ones in the past have included a quilt for my mother made with squares all featuring family photos, a bracelet made from my own handcrafted beads shaped and painted to resemble each of my aunt's 12 cats and a picture book that transformed my nephew into the star of an original story as a result of some creative use of photo editing software. Maybe these thoughts will give you a few ideas too.

Using supplies that are made here in the USA I'd like to now show you how to make a stocking from scratch and give a gift that can be enjoyed throughout the holiday season for this year and years to come.
It's so gratifying to make something special and see the project come together well. Then the feeling of giving the gift and feeling that your efforts are being enjoyed and appreciated is even nicer. Now that we have the stocking we're going to need some cool stocking stuffers to fill it. I have some ideas...
