Sledging and felt stockings

Even more snow last night which meant that there was enough for sledging! (I keep calling it sledding but apparently in England it is sledging)

A picture I took from an upstairs window.




And back inside to warm up with hot chocolate and the last of the koeksisters.
Instead of a chocolate filled advent calendar this year, the kids are going to get a chocolate a day to put into a stocking which they will then be able to eat on Christmas eve!
I was going to crochet 4 stockings but in the end I thought that it would be much better if the kids could make their own out of felt.
We cut out 2 pieces of felt or each stocking and pinned them together.
The sewed a blanket stitch around, joining the two pieces together.
Then to decorate them!
Aren't they just fabulous!
