It had hit me earlier in the evening that I had stockings for myself, my Beau, and my dad, but no stockings for my babies- the cats (Porter and Ada) and dog (Izzie.) So in a flurry of thread, fabric, and a sewing machine I quickly plotted together a bone shaped stocking for Izzie and a "fish" shaped stocking for Ada and Porter (although it didn't turn out quite as fishy as I had planned it.) It was a stormy night out, lots of wind and some rain, and as I was sewing the cats' fish stocking together there was a big boom and all went dark.
Scrambling to light some candles and thankful we had a few flashlights handy we had our house up and running in no time. It was kind of nice to have the peace and quite and be able to listen to the rain fall, but I was on a mission. I needed to finish these stockings! I set out some candles on the table and began sewing the little details onto the bone stocking as best I could. The photos turned out really neat and the stockings ended up charming, at best.
