Last year around this time, I got a little homesick. My husband and I had our first Christmas here in New York, away from our families back in our hometown. We had a great time and made the best of it, but the thing that I missed most was my Mom's house. Every year she goes over the top with decorations and it always looks amazing and really makes you feel like the holidays are here.
This year we are in a new apartment, and are trying to fill it with decorations for the season. I think some of the best traditions are crafts. Last year, I started doing cross-stitch family stockings for us. That was a tradition that my mother started. I thought I would take pictures of them to inspire other people to start their own holiday crafting!
Yes, I did attempt to stitch jingle bells.
