Pattern Stalking Stocking

 

Is it just me, or is it a little bit weird to be seeing me back in the blogging world from THIS particular blog?  Well, I must admit that I have let this blog fall by the wayside (some would argue I let the other one slip too...but I digress).  I could make excuses & such, but I won't.

 

To be perfectly honest, the onliest reason I am writing this tonight is because of the picture you see above.  mmmhmmm...my stocking.  See, I am trying to enter a contest over at www.Patternrevolution.com & I can't figure out how to get this photo into the contest.  You see, by reason of deduction, I have figured out that I have to put a URL in the blank so they can see my photo.  I think.   Annnnnnnnd.....I THINK it has to link up to my blog.  SOOOOOO.....this is my feeble attempt at trying to be a computer genius.

 

Anyway, doncha just love my retro/kitschy stocking?  I really like the colors, they make me happy.  It has class and spunk.  Like me :).

 

The point of the contest is to make a stocking that reflects a favorite pattern or pattern designer, and I have fashioned this one after pattern designer Pink Fig's Cuppy Cake Dress.  I have made that little dress many times & it is fun to make & looks adorable. 

 

I did make 9 other stockings, too.  See, after 4 years, I finally got to feeling terrible that we didn't all have a stocking...not a big problem until this time of the year.  In fact, the ones we did have were generic red & white ones that Santa had to safety pin paper with names on them to so the recipients would know what was theirs.  Pitiful.

 

And I sew.

 

Ummmm.

 

...and embroider.

 

I'm a loser.

 

I tried to take pictures of the other 9, but it's dark. 

And this was the only one that was being entered into the contest.

 

I'm selfish.

 

....annnnnd embarrassed.

 

I am now beginning to think I may not even NEED a stocking.  Looks like coal for me.

 

Hey...Santa.....could you please put that coal in a baggie so it won't get my pretty fabric dirty? 

 

Thanks....
