One of our favourite traditions around here is filling the Christmas stockings and then opening them together (in our pj's, of course) on Christmas morning. Last year, I made some new ones when we added the son-in-laws to our family. This year, one of my girls asked if she could have an updated one that would "go with", but not "match" the one I made for her husband. I went back to my trusty polar bears and came up with this:
I used Imagine Gnats' Falling Flakes stocking tutorial as an inspiration. It is a very simple tutorial to follow along and it came together really quickly. Daughter dearest approves. Here are the two stockings "going with" each other:
And, speaking of Christmas, some of the local wildlife have become quite enamoured with our tree:

Beautiful stockings Erica. I used that tutorial last year and need to make another soon for this Christmas .

Love those Christmas stockings, especially the Laurie Wisburn print! They're a big deal in our household too! Kind of makes me wish I hadn't shied away from buying the polar bears (I bought the coordinating prints instead!)
