I was just thinking of my Christmas ornaments and realized I still have my stocking. Poor thing is a bit moth eaten but still hanging in there after all these years. Does anyone else have theirs?

We didn't have stockings. We each used on of Dad's socks. However, I made stockings for all of my kids and I still have them. They hang on my fire place accessory stand every year and I never think to give them to the kids, who are all grown and away from home. Maybe I'll remember to do it this year.

Yes, I have mine and I hang it every year. It was crocheted by my late grandmother when I was very young.

What a treasure - maybe you could take a picture of it and share it in projects with us - later this year.

I don't remember having a stocking as a child, but we have my husband's stocking. It is about 50 years old and we hang it every year. But I don't fill it.

Mickey, thanks for thinking about yours - I don't remember having a stocking - when I was little - maybe we used my Daddy's or something like that. I do have the ones for both my kids - at one time or another I think I asked them if they wanted them and my daughter took her very large one - but the others are still with my decorations and I have added a couple news ones for the grands when they come to visit - they also have ones that I made or decorated for them at their homes, too. When the decorations come out - perhaps we could share some of the older stockings in the project section - for all to view and get idea's and inspiration from. What do you think?

Good idea Shirlene. I've never photographed the ones I made.
I just remembered, I made them out of the leftover material that I made a maternity dress from. The dress is long gone.

I'm all for sharing pictures. Just don't laugh when you see mine. I hope to make one for Rhylan this year. Or maybe I should send mine. Naw.. I'll make a nice big one for her. Mine is kind of on the smaller side. And there are the moth holes.

The whole family reuses them every year. They get put away with the ornaments. Reduce, reuse, recycle! It's sweet but hard for me to make up a good reason to make new creative ones.

I never had a Christmas stocking but I did make one for each of my Sons as they were born and I still have both of them because my Sons both asked me to look after them.
One is 41 years old, the other 38 years.
