Lilly needs a special Christmas stocking

By 965koit on November 8, 2019

When I was pregnant with Lilly, I bought one of those do-it-yourself stocking kits. It came with everything you needed to make a super fancy stocking.

I thought this would make an amazing first stocking for Lilly, especially since my mother made my stocking and I still use it today. It’s a wonderful reminder of the thought and effort she puts into every little thing, and it’s a great tradition to hold on to.

I want that for Lilly.

Until I took out all the pieces.

I can sew, but not at an expert level and this was definitely way beyond my skills. So at Target yesterday, Nick and I looked at the small selections of stockings and my heart sank. Nothing felt right and none of them looked like her. I wanted it to be special, and here I was just choosing something off the rack!

What do you do when you need opinions and suggestions? Head to the internet!

Sounds lovely! But I still don’t have the talent to do that. So what do I do now?

2) Get a special one for me and let her pick next year

3) It doesn’t matter, because I will buy tons
