Stockings

It has been a crazy crazy time for the Rushing household, but what else would I expect being a Rushing wife?! There are many reasons why I have not posted lately, and many of you know why that is. I thought I would post this really quick because if I don't I will not post it until after Christmas and this is quite a Christmas-y post.

It is mine and Ryan's first Christmas together, our first Christmas no longer being under our parent's roofs, eventhough we thankfully get to be there with them! So I thought, we need stockings!

I brought Ryan with me to the fabric store. This was quite an experience for him, I was not sure how he would take it, but apparently it made a huge impact in his life. While I was looking at fabric, Ryan was looking at sewing, quiltting and craft books when he found one with an old lady on it with the title "still stripping after 25 years." It was unbelievable. Apparently "stripping" is a term used for quiltting in that they strip the fabric... but wow, did she not know?!? Ryan proceeding to take a picture with my phone and send it to all of our family. He later shared it with our small group at church. I mean, this trip to the fabric store greatly impacted him.

Anywho, Ryan did help me pick out fabric, he is a wonderful husband :)

Also, we moved out of the trailer! We are no longer trailer trash! I will have a post to follow about that, there is just not time now. But here is a picture of our stockings that I made hanging in our new living room.


Sadly, we do not have a fire place, but I am not complaining! I love having normal plumbing and a dishwasher!
This is my stocking:

And here is Ryan's:

And the inside is full of cookies! Because there are always wonderful goodies in stockings!

Hope you like them! Merry Christmas!!
