Oh, I think you flatter us way too much. We bought premade stockings and used glitter paint to write the words. I let someone else do the sewing and such.
No inordinate flattery intended. When it comes to art, I'm like the person you've been told would lose one and break the other if handed two ball bearings in a padded room. The skill runs in my family, but I received none of it :)
You are being too modest about those stockings. They are perfection! Several people in Kirkuk are going to be blown away when they get them.
