Daisy Mom to 4: A Stocking for Miss Ellie

I got up early this morning and got the girls off to school and got ready for work early so I would have a little time to spend in my craft studio before having to leave for work. I mended a pair of Ellie's pj's and a pair of Rebecca's pants, then I cut out 3 stocking shapes from some pretty floral fabrics I found in my fabric stash to make the girls new Christmas stockings (since we seemed to have lost a box of decorations somewhere in our mess of a shed that contained all our stockings...oops).

It turned out pretty cute and I'm happy with it. I think Miss Ellie will like it. I'm hoping to get up early again tomorrow and work on another one. I also have to finish knitting Miss Raven's rainbow purse for Christmas. So much to do, so little time.

Things that make my heart happy...

God, photography, baby giggles, family, organic gardening, vintage aprons, the sound of mourning doves, nature, fresh picked flowers, sushi, knitting, old farm houses, teapots, antique china tea cups, tea parties, dark chocolate, clouds, thrifting, curling up with a good book, hand made quilts, libraries, forests, my goldfish pond, water lilies, creating, roses, hugs from my girls, pita bread with hummus, flea markets, de-caff tea, scones with cream, the sound of birds singing, light breezes, the smell of lily of the valley, camping, bantie chickens, funky old jewelry, rainstorms, routine, antiques, farms, simple living, the miracle of birth, color, old cemetaries, the countryside, big mugs of hot cocoa, the smell of fresh clean linen, music, poetry, my Grandmother, swimming, fairies, sunsets, chapstick, fresh baked bread, & snuggling with my girls
