Gettin' In the Holiday Spirit Yet?

These are my "gingie babies." I collect gingerbread men and huddle them all together in my basket with a pip berry sprig, barn star, and one over-sized pear (which will be removed once I get more gingerbreads). lol

Remember the other demin stocking I made? Well, I made two more and thought I'd show ya how they turned out.

This stocking has a pocket on the front, just in case you've been naughty and a lump of coal is all you're getting. lol

My basket of cinnamon scented rose hips and other fixin's.

My (not so little) house that sits on my piano. I'm using this picture for my Christmas cards this year. Wouldn't a nativity scene look right at home in front of it? That's next on my list.
I also need to take a pic. of the Christmas tree. I took a couple but the lighting was all wrong!

I think that does it for now. Hope I've helped get you in the mood, if you weren't already. :)

Denim Christmas Stocking

Those discarded jeans come in handy again. lol
I stitched muslin fabric on the back of denim so that I could cut inside the stitched areas for the fraying effect without having any contents fall out.
The side seam of the jeans worked perfectly for making the hang loop.

One side of the tag says Dec. 25th, same as the other one I made.

The other side I stamped Merry Christmas.

Just to show you how really fluffy and frazzled the edges turned out.

Many, many buttons added!
I don't think I can bear to give this one away either. Sigh. Back to the drawing board. I really want to give my stocking swap partner a hand made stocking!!! LOL
