As a designer I have found that the custom stocking is really just that custom...there are tons of needlepoint companies that specialize in Christmas , and they have a wealth of stockings...every type of Santa packed with every toy stuffed animal , live animals sleds, skates drums...what I call Santa with the works.....but that is not enough for the avid needlepointers out there...they crave the unusual and I think they also enjoy being part of the designing/suggestion part of a custom stocking...these stockings are so specific ,that they clearly will belong to one person and family...When I was young and first designing , I use to question why and what does it mean...but after painting going on 36 years, I rarely give it a second thought, my task to create something using all the elements the customer requests, and come up with the best arrangement......
so when this stocking is worked and finished and presented, Big Daddy is secure that his is a one of a kind stocking...... if big Daddy is happy, Squiggee is happy...

I think Big Daddy must be very happy with this charmer! Nice job, Gail.
