Way back in the beginning of December at the insistence of my four year old we went out on a rainy Sunday to get our tree. I was pestered into putting our tree up and decorations out earlier than planned. Bottom line, my boy has the spirit!

| So hard to get a clear picture with all the rain. |
As we go careening in to Christmas (where the heck has the time gone) we have done our fair share of holiday crafts. The first of which was a handmade stocking. A stocking made for Loki's bunny because if Bunny didn't have stocking "how would he get any presents?" I agreed quickly because believe it or not an idea formed instantly.
The Low Down:
Material: Two pieces of red sparkly poly felt, some scrap yarn and a wide eyed blunt tipped needle. Embellishments of choice, ours happened to be a pink iron n B.
 |
| Right sides facing. |
I drew out a stocking shape then I cut it out and punched holes in the felt.
 |
| After this I went back and widened with the blunt needle. |
I then handed it over to Loki. He was impressively good at sewing it up. He didn't skip a hole and the only tangles came from the yarn being too long (which I had to adjust) . It was super fun and simple.
 |
| Working into the wee hours of the night. Please excuse the grainy pictures. |
After it was done I had Loki tell me where to place the B and then ironed it on for him. Not ready to let a four year old operate a hot as fire iron just yet.
