I am a copy cat. In my crafting, I have always been a copy cat who tweaks-- I admit it for all to read! 

 

Here is my latest copy cat creativity:
It is great to have grandchildren. It is also fun to be able to make things for them, as I did for my kids. Sometimes I actually am able to create fun stuff.
Late last fall one of my daughters asked if I would make Christmas stockings for her two little girls. I was so honored that she asked me to help with her family tradition. She gave me a link to a place that had several stocking designs. She said she didn't care what I made. WOW! Again, I felt so happy that she had entrusted me to design this family heirloom.
It took me a bout a week to decide what I wanted to put on them. I am not an angel fan, but when I saw this clip art I knew what the tops of the stockings need to have on them. Just below the clip art are the finished stockings. I have to say, it was one of those fun times I have had at being creative!

Soooo, putting pictures on here is going to take practice. Hopefully you can see what it all looks like.









Here are the two stockings. I am not good at embroidery but ended up sewing their names on the top white lace. I forgot to take a picture of that!
Instead of holding a heart, they are holding a ribbon with beads the word "BELIEVE". I had to buy two packages of alphabet beads because there weren't enough "E"s for both stockings! But it was worth it, don't you think?
