I have put the christmas gifts in the calico bags some of which are over 25 years old, I made them for my boys, nieces, friends boys and they are put to good use every year for gifts that fit, lollies etc. and the newer ones are 4 years old and were made when my grandaughter was born and one for each of my two daughter inlaws.
I havent put Ruby's stocking out this year as sadly Ruby was put to rest on 1 December, she had a short but very dignified battle with brain tumors, then tumors in her liver and stomach. We miss her very much. She was only 9 years old. I have told DH and boys that we are not having any more animals, Ruby was the firsht dog I ever got attached too, it is like losing a very loving family member, well I guess that is exactly what she was....a very loving family member.
On the knitting front I am knitting a 3 piece baby set for the local shows in January 2013. With a list of things I would like to knit for the shows and only 3 weeks to knit them....Have a very Merry Christmas.... I am going back to knitting for a while before I go to bed.
