Call me crazy, and maybe it is some form of crazy nesting instinct, but I have my heart set on making a Christmas stocking for Baby Martin. I looked through every available needlepoint kit online, and finally settled on this one. At first I thought maybe it was too girly, but I wanted something Christmas-y without including Santa, etc. This was one of the very few options that fit that description. I guess when he gets old enough to care, I'll make him a new one with whatever he wants on it. For now, this is what he gets! You'll notice this stocking has a place for the name at the top. I plan to have a name to put on there before Christmas. I really think we are getting closer on that front. Daniel is more ready to make the final decision then I am. Not sure what is holding me back, but we'll get there! I'll be doing the back of this stocking in velvet, so thought I might make some simple velvet stockings for me and Daniel. The question is, what name do I put at the top of ours? Susan and Daniel? Mom and Dad? Mommy and Daddy? Daniel and I were too weirded out by the thought to make a decision, so I'm open for suggestions.

LOL, I do hope he has a name by Christmas! Can't call his Xerxes for the first month.

I am no help on the stocking names for you and Daniel... I would be just as lost as you are.
I'd go with Susan and Daniel on your stockings, I think. Ours are Jennifer and Scott, I guess that's the only reason I'm advising that. Pretty stocking!
you are cracking me up...
your "nesting" is in full effect!
our stockings have meg & ben?
Put your first names. I wish you luck. I still have the remnants of Charles' cross stitched stocking.
