The stocking are ready for Santa with time to spare. The finishing touches on Alex’s stocking were:

• Silver buttons, blue eyes, and a read nose for the snowman
• A red glass bead nose for Rodolf and bead eyes for all the reindeer
• A blue glass bead eye for little penguin.

On Isaac’s stocking I added:

• Glass bead eyes for the penguin
• A mouth for the ginger bread man out red glass beads stung together
• Glass bead eyes for Santa
• Large red beads for the holly berries on the Santa’s airplane

Each needlpoint piece is with light-weight cotton cut on the bias and then the back of each is wool, also cut on the bias. Both are trimmed with gold braid.
