So it's officially less than 2 months until Christmas and even less than Hanukkah. So of course, I am already thinking about Baby Berry's first Chrismukkah!! If you have been following me for years, you know that Mr. Spice and I take Chrismukkah very seriously. Years ago we created traditions that work for us, and we've been stickin to them.
One tradition that is very important to me, Christmas stockings, which means that I better have one on hand for Baby Berry.
Since our current stockings veer away from the traditional and are more whimsical, I knew that any old stocking just wouldn't do. Here's our set up last year:
Or these cuties:
From Etsy Seller: bebesniklefritz for $25 each.
In my search, I also realized that I could probably fairly easily sew Baby Berry her own stocking, and I even found some great fabric at Fabric Worm for about $10 per yard (does the one on the right look familiar??):
Cute, no?
And then I found a stocking that I couldn't do myself, and that even Mr. Spice thinks is insanely cute. Check out this pink penguin:
From Etsy Seller: AllenbriteStudio for $25

So here I am, two months before Xmas-- do I make the stocking myself for $10 plus time, or do I buy the super cute penguin pink stocking??

That penguin one is super cute!
I'm attempting to make ours this year, using this pattern: http://www.noodle-head.com/2009/11/christmas-stocking-tutorial.html
I just need more time, but you shouldn't have a problem since you're making 1, I decided to do 5! Yikes!
I love the penguin one and the one with the reindeer (are those reindeer?)!! This is post is making me not feel so bad that I was looking at holiday cards yesterday. :)
The penguin one is adorable plus that's one less craft to do before baby girl arrives!
Love the penguin! And if you get tired of it, then you can always do the DIY one later.
And I love that fabric site - never heard of it before! Thanks for sharing.
