Christy gave me a box of rainbow-colored raw silks. This is the result! This stocking is supposed to resemble papel picado, celebratory tissue-paper scissor cut garland from Mexico.
Both Christy and Mexico bring me joy. I love papel picado because it is delicate, fluttery, celebratory and intricate.
There are some jingly bells from pillows my mom gave me years ago that wore out, and I saved the bells and sewed them on. Now, it’s not only colorful but musical!
It’s time to move on to the next project, which I’m excited about. I have three ideas and plan to pick one tonight while watching NHL playoffs and sipping a celebratory marg. Mmm.
