Every year she made stockings for her family members. She even had a small business of making stockings. It was that time of year again to start up the sewing machine again and make some more to restock the shop. She went to her craft room and looked at all the different options and colours she had on her shelves. There were reds, silvers, golds, whites and blues. Including white fur, this was the most popular design in her shop. She played her Christmas music loud and hummed to herself as she grabbed her template and measuring tools and started to carve out a new design, a blue and white one with blue fur trim on the top. 

She looked out her window as it was starting to snow again but she would be okay as she had the log burner on, and the heat permeated around the small cottage. She had been living in the small village for almost a year and she was known as the stocking lady. She made stockings for everyone in the town too and even filled them with goodies. The stockings were always well-received. She sat down and started sewing her new design. She continued humming, tapping and singing to herself as she crafted away getting ready for the Christmas craft fair in the village. Her husband walked in and leant on the threshold of the door, "crafting again?" he said taking a sip of his coffee. 

"When don't I?" she asks. 

"That's very true," he said an walked in closer to her resting his hands on the table. 

"There's no stopping you, once you start," he smiles and gently kisses her head, "I am sure you'll make some lovely designs like you usually do."

"Aw, thank you, you have so much faith in me," she smiles looking up at him. 

"But you know I will always support you," he said watching her make the blue and white stocking, "this one is new, it's beautiful!" 

"Thank you," she smiles again, "I am hoping it will be a great hit at the craft fair." As she starts up the machine meticulously sews it perfectly and makes sure every hole is sewn shut and covered. 

A few hours later she has boxes and boxes of stockings all ready for the craft fair the next day. All different designs and colours."That's my girl." he smiles as he watches her hand sew faux fur trim onto the top of a stocking by the time she is done is it very neat and she places the last stocking into the box.
