The Stockings Were Hung...

It's finally finished!  I've been working on this stocking for our little grandbaby for the past few months.  I wasn't sure if I would get it done in time.

I hope all of you enjoy the holidays.  Me?  I'll be sitting by the fire, drinking egg nog while I watch my poor, long-suffering husband put the finishing touches on the tree.
