Every Thursday, here at Like Mother, Like Daughter!

I love the Christmas stockings I finally (finally! after 30 years!) made for my family. I love that I was able to use some outrageous Scottish wool skirts and suits that a friend gave me to "figure out what to do with." It made me {happy}!
But... the ribbon was a quick fix. I didn't have a vision of how I could finish off the tops.

I do laugh at myself for this mayhem, when I should be calmly crafting presents or baking Christmas cookies. Or maybe humming Advent hymns while I prepare baby Jesus' bed in my heart.

This photo was supposed to be for when I got around to showing you how I used the stair paint, on a whim, to perk up the trim in my pantry.
But never mind that right now, although it is super interesting and pretty.
If you look there, below the window... see? on that little cute bin? See? It's summer, right? Out that window?
And I had put the stockings there, under my nose, directly after last Christmas, so that I would avoid just this -- the mad, week-before-Christmas stocking re-do.
