'Tis The Season For Eye Strain
This is the wee tiny stocking I just made for Ma's doll's house--it's so much easier to decorate on the small scale, but sewing two of these 1 inch by a half inch stockings took a toll on my eyes. I'll be 46 next month, and seeing weensy things close up is not as easy as it once was--even threading the needle was a fun game of chance and skill. But I got a much bigger sense of accomplishment--plus, I felt just like the tailor in the Beatrix Potter story that made the tiny clothes for the mice. Harmlessly crazy.

It's beautiful! And everything is cooler when it's teensy weenzy tiny.
That is awesome!!!! Love the fact that it's so miniature!
Great job! I can't imagine how you managed that, but I hope you won't strain your eye too much. So, were you able to fit any candy in there?
Thanks, Danny---it was so wee tiny, individual grains of sugar would have been more of a fit ;D
