Finished this Christmas stocking for daughter Claire.
"I have always loved the stocking you made for Rosie, Mom," Claire said. Rosie was her cat as a child.
The little portrait I did of Claire at age seven looks just like her. Couldn't throw it away after Rosie departed. Why not make it Claire's?
Last month, I embroidered Claire's name. Today I cut out the new cuff pieces and sewed the stocking together. Added a gusset on the right to fit more gifts.
TA DA!

Thank you.
Claire was sick of taking photo and coming down with the flu. Claire could not trick-or-treat that year in the gypsy costume I made. Poor kid was too sick.
@LiterateHiker That was a bummer she could not go out ,not sure if i missed a halloween due to sickneess or not but remember lot of wet sometimes snowy nights,then we took a pillow case to collect treats so it would not fall apart from being wet
Great idea to take a pillowcase! At 3-1/2, Claire was a kitty for Halloween. Her artist daddy painted faces. I made her costume.
Trick or treating in the rain, Claire's paper bag got wet. It was a rough night. She tripped, fell, spilled her candy and cried. Daddy comforted her.
@LiterateHiker Those pics are so cute 
and a beautiful shoot of you in your younger years
Enjoy being online again!
