Webster describes an heirloom as "something of special value handed down from one generation to another."
I can't say for sure if that's what I've been creating for 40 some years, but maybe.
I started making Christmas stocking in the shapes of shoes when my husband and I celebrated our first Christmas together.  As each new child came along I created a new "shoe" and when my kids got married and had their own children, I made more and more.  I'm not sure that anybody wants these shoe stockings as they start their own traditions, but as long as there is Christmas in my house, they will hang in it.

These are the stockings I have made over the years.  My husband, Jerry's, mine, my daughter, Robin's, my daughter, Roxanne's, my son, Jordan's, my grandson, Macario's and my daughter, Ryun's.
As I continued to make these the designs have gotten more elaborate and more decorated.
 

       My granddaughter, Addie's stocking became  a Russian slipper with gold ribbon and trim. The felt even sparkles.

This is Emmy's new stocking. It's a cozy little fur-lined
slipper with ribbons and buttons. It makes me think
of my granddaughter as she is warm and cozy, too.

She is oh so huggable!

My grandson, Colton is only 2 but I am sure he will be a great football player someday, just like his dad.  I made him a football cleat using Seahawk colors and the Nike swoosh.

My newest Granddaughter is Olive.  I made her a cute and dainty little "Mary Jane".  I kept choosing these colors from my ribbon box and then realized that the green was a perfect olive green. Ah, the subconscious mind is a wonderful thing!

And, finally, my daughter-in-law, Jane's stocking.  I chose these ribbons and colors because they are fun and playful just like Jane.  She sent me a tutorial on how to make the felt flower on the toe.

So this is Adam's family's new group of stockings.

And this is Aaron's family's stockings.  I hope they like the new additions.
