Hip hey, hooray, it's December 1st! I cannot believe how fast yet an another year has passed! I have been quite busy (which is a good thing, really), and I almost missed the Christmas-items for my shop entirely. But as always, a little pressure makes it work (love, love him saying that) and here we are:
The official HandmadebyMia Christmas stockings 2011! Made with love using only re-used fabrics (so little imperfections need to be allowed in tweeds and velvets); only needle-felting wool, sewing thread and ricrac were new (and even ricrac is vintage!). So absolutely unique stockings, there will never be two similar, as some of the materials were the very last scraps. I hope you'll like them as much as I do, and I will have so hard time letting them go. But one cannot keep everything one makes so they'll start appearing here one by one.
Just some close-ups still...
All got some pretty linings too...
... and size is just for you and me, there's no room for an ice-hockey tablegame or new ironing board but just for something little special... Diamonds I would say, what's your wish?
Wishing you a happy December 1st!
Yours,
Mia

Well Mia what a wonderful start to Christmas. These made me smile SO much that one is flying over from your Winter Wonderland to the UK;0)

Thank you dear Jane,
I LOVE crafting but the most wonderful it is to send my made-with-LOVE creations to people I LOVE, it's triple-LOVE then, and that should make us all smile long time!
Have a wonderful crafting-time, dear, and kiss Billy for me!
Yours,
Mia
Mia, Mia you have been a busy busy ELF. Your stockings are so lovely. The details are fabulous and the fabrics are so beautiful. I can see all the work that went into them, and I can see and feel the love in every stitch and felting. I think they will fly out of your etsy shop. I'm going now to peek. Happy December 1st to you,

Have a wonderful December, stay cozy and warm!
