A mother’s love, continued

These closeup photos of my stocking’s decorations have made me realize just how special my stocking is. It’s also amazingly durable, I keep some fragile ornaments in the house but the rest of them are stored in plastic bins in the garage. In the heat of the summer it’s 110+ degrees Fahrenheit in the garage some days! Beginning this year I’m going to make room inside for my stocking. ❤️

It must have taken her forever to sew all those little beads on there. Truly a labor of love and l know you treasure it now. Fabulous photo of the details

So awesome

[Milanie]

Love these - I'll have to shoot some of that tree skirt my mom made. And then she made a second one for me to use as a raffle prize when I was trying to make money to buy track uniforms for my 60 kids - and we raised enough on that raffle to buy them! Somebody is enjoying a treasure from the 1980's - hope it's still around.

Very sweet!

@milaniet What fabulous memories! This little photo exercise has made me realize more than ever what a treasure my stocking really is.

I have a baby scrapbook my mother made for me and sometimes I just touch certain pages and think of her putting things in there. Her hands and my hands. I imagine it's a similar feeling when you hold this stocking. Sweet!
