Christmas Stockings

I'm caught up.  This started back in 1952 when my Aunt Flossie made me and my sister our Christmas Stockings.  When I got married she passed the pattern, beads, sequins, etc. on to me.  I made AJ's stocking and one for my brother-in-law.  When I started having my babies, I made one for each of my children and when they got married I made one for their spouses.  So I asked my kids when they started having babies did they want me to make one for them.  So I have finally finished all of the the grandkids Christmas Stockings. I had made Elsies and Judsons a while ago. So for the last few months I been working on the rest of them.  This way they will have something to remember me by when I pass away.  When it's time to pass on the box of goodies  I think it will be Tara since she is the most craftiest in the family so the tradition will live on.  I was going to make some now for future babies because it is so hard on my eyes and fingers but I can't do that because it depends on whether its a girl or boy.
