Nephew thanked us for the books...but his sister got all excited....no no, the books are not the present. It’s the stocking. So, I decided then, her future children would definitely get stockings.
Currently I am working on three. One for my grandson, one for my daughter-in-law’s niece, and the third is the one I got from squirrel. It’s a very detailed picture, so I only work on it for a bit of time, then put it away. I decided since it is so special it will be for this niece’s baby. She is not pregnant.
Yesterday was her wedding shower. Somehow, the conversation of babies came up (something important to both of them) and I said that I had already started a stocking. She got so excited and said “you’re making a stocking for (fiancé)?” Then says to him, “oh, you will love it. She makes the most beautiful stockings” and he looks very under whelmed. “Um...ok...stockings”. She says “no, you don’t understand. They are cross stitched” and he says “um...ok....stockings”. My niece takes off, and her fiancé who I have just met is looking at me very awkwardly. So I take out my phone to show him a few of the stockings I’ve made.
His eyes popped out and he says “you MADE these”? Turns to someone else and says “I really picked the right family to marry in to.
So, apparently I have another stocking to make.
My niece was maybe a little embarrassed when she realized I meant I was making the stocking for a future baby...but mostly she was excited he is getting a stocking by their first wedding as husband and wife.
