You beat me to it! I was just about to post this. Christmas is just 4 months away...!

[irishsara]

Waaahhhhhh!!!

We bought 5 PBK stockings when we had just Ethan. Assuming we would have two more kids. Now, we are going to be 1 stocking short. And I can't find the same one anywhere!!!!

What do I do?

I'd buy all new ones, but I'm a psychopath.

[teamhayes]

which one? I bet you can find it with google - prob not cheap but you have to match or start over

I want new ones, but Kevin said I was talking crazy.

I found one on ebay, but it was all beat up. I'm not spending $40 for a beat up stocking

Buy all new ones this year after Christmas. They will be heavily discounted.

That's a good point too.  Maybe I won't stress about it until then.

I wish I remembered to do this, we didn't have a name yet though so it slipped my mind til they were all sold out in red.

The original beat up one isn't on ebay anymore. Now there is only this one. I guess I could get the stitching taken out?

Or just name baby Grandpa?

We have needlepoint stockings that my mother made. She's been promising to make stockings for the girls since before they were born. This will be Edie's 4th christmas and she still hasn't done it.

I still have my heart set on needlepoint and I might bite the bullet and spend the money to buy these. I have them bookmarked from last year because I'd been hoping they went on sale, but they never did. These have the best designs that I've found.

Ahhhhh yay! I can't wait to go home and browse stockings to my heart's content!

[unclejesse]

Oh Sweet Jesus.  I already cleared this with Mr. Finances (aka MH) and got the green light!  He's going to hate me, lol.

I want to get stockings but I don't want to possibly have to get new ones if we have a third baby. And this baby will born after Christmas anyway.

[irishsara]

Just an FYI....if you see stockings you like, you can always buy them without embroidery and have them embroidered at a later date. That's what we did.

Yea, that's what we did too. I have two coming this year for my 2nd and possibly 3rd baby. These little old ladies make them and I could not risk them shutting down their business before my collection was complete!

If 3rd baby ends up as twins then I will be forced to give one child away. Orrr the better option is probably to have the name taken off of my dogs stocking and give it to the kid

Thank you for pointing this out, it seems so obvious now, but I wouldn't have thought of it.

Now, I just have to convince DH I can spend the money on these. His family made us stockings, but the are just thin fabric. . . I am so unappreciative!

[TrudyCampbell]

I'm going to use this opportunity to once again AW my stockings

[carawestt]

Violet's stocking looks a lot like the one I had as a kid. Our neighbor made them.

It's a vintage design! It might be the same pattern.

I think it's up in my mom's attic or else I'd post a picture.

Not stocking related, but I am really excited to be excited for Christmas this year! If I can hopefully be out of retail by then, I can start erasing all of the negative associations I have with the holidays!

Post the ones you end up choosing!

Don't they usually do a sale with free shipping later in the fall? I feel like I waited for the sale last year to order Max's to match ours.
