When I was wrestling with changing Blog's header photo, I decided that once I was able to change the photo, I'd switch to a seasonal design that didn't have to be changed often. I choose a photo of the darling little Kathy Schenkel mini sock that Judie Solomon stitched for me. Judie is the owner of Thistle Needleworks in Connecticut as well as the proprietress of Alex Paras Needle Arts, the online shop arm of Thistle. I discovered Judie stitches little Kathy Schenkel Designs Christmas stockings for her family and asked if I could be adopted as a joke. Judie obliged in the most wonderful way possible!
I found photos of some finished KSD stockings for your perusal. Aren't they great?!

Because she's such a fan, Judie has a great many KSD stockings with matching stuffed items available via her online store. Of course you can visit the Kathy Schenkel website and browse everything there, then have your local shop order the perfect mini stocking for you. After all, Judie can't adopt us all!

Thanks again, Judie. I can't tell you how much pleasure your beautifully stitched little stocking has brought me.
