December Photo-A-Day - Day 18


"Stockings"

Adapt is a new word in my vocabulary. I feel as if I've been doing that quite a lot recently. I had to adapt last week in my plans for Christmas presents. Back in Nov, I thought it would be a great idea to make scarves for my friends in Bible study. Morning sickness and time got the better of me, and I realized the other day that I had 5 days to complete 4 scarves. Yeah, that wasn't happening with my busy schedule. I remembered I had some pieces from a failed blanket I attempted to make for John for Christmas. I pulled them out and realized they made perfect Christmas stockings! So I adapted and whipped them up over a couple evenings. The pièce de résistance was when I found pre-strung jingle bells for the toes. I accidentally made one or two more than I needed so I think I might upgrade the stocking I have for the baby this year that is about half the size of this one. It needs to be big enough for the present I got to put in it. 😉
