My mother made each of my siblings and I a stocking when we were babies. She did not cross-stitch them, however. She was a bit smarter, realizing that needlepoint is extremely time consuming. Now that they are done, I don't regret cross-stitching mine, but they did take me quite a while. I just couldn't really get into them - always distracted by other projects. In fact, my second child's stocking took me over 2 years to actually finish, even though it was an extremely simple pattern compared to those that my sisters have done for their kids. I am glad that I have been able thus far to locate patterns that are actually Christian and attractive. I hope that I can keep it up for future kids... and hopefully they also continue to be simple patterns!
