THE Ultimate Stocking: 2011
It’s that time of year again!
Ultimate Stocking time, of course. This is a tradition I started in 2003 (can you believe it?!) and it’s still going strong (at least in my heart). The Ultimate Stocking is a space for you to share with the world what you hope to get in your stocking this year. Just leave your list in a comment below and rest assured that your prayers will be answered (mine always have!)
I was reading over previous years’ stuffings and discovered I almost always hope for the same thing, so I’m going to try and mix it up a little this year.
Santa, if you’re listening, here’s what I’m hoping for:
- A magnetized pin box
- A roller cutter like one of these
- Sewing chalk (for marking lines and tracing patterns)
- An attachable light for my kindle (All the best places to read seem to be dark corners…)
- The broken part on sewing machine (Since you’re all-knowing, I guess you can figure this out, it’s the thing that makes the thread turn. I’m improvising with a chopstick right now)
- A gift certificate to Ancestry.com World (just a few months)
- A yard stick that has the metric system on it too
- Tickets (anywhere, to anything, surprise me)
- Something to make my jewelry not tarnish anymore (maybe a jewelry box would help too…)
- Gift certificate to shoe and/or clothing store
- Magnetized notepad for the fridgerator
- A purse hook (this one’s really tacky, but this is the idea)
- One of Aunt Cindy’s pecan pies
- A jar of Aunt Carmel’s homemade sweet pickles
- Seeds for next year’s garden
- Little pinzer hair clamps
- Pedicure gift certificate
- Sewing lesson (how to read patterns/take measurements…)
- Homemade Christmas tree ornaments
- Christmas music
- A bottle of Opi nail polish
- Fresh White Musk body spray (Lori Bennett gave me some a couple of years ago and it’s lasted forever without getting that nasty old perfume smell. I love it!)
As usual, everyone who shares their stocking hopes will be entered in a contest to win a fabulous MoltenChocolate prize! Merry Christmas!
