Wedding Shower or Christmas?

I went to the wedding shower for my dear friend, Michelle.  She's FINALLY found the right guy and I couldn't be happier for her! Isn't she gorgeous!?  She's has been my confidant, cheerleader, photographer, dance buddy, fashion consultant, and FRIEND for 13 years.

So, what to give Michelle and Ben for the wedding shower?  I am planning a wedding quilt if it all works out, but what to do for the shower...

Lingerie? 

Definitely not the style of our friendship.

Kitchen appliances?

Michelle has been happily independent for a while.

Something off the registry?

I just really wanted to do something unique and amazing!

So, I finally come up with something unique.

Something NO ONE else would be giving her.

Something a little crazy.

It was...

HIS

and

HERS

matching Christmas Stockings for their first Christmas together!

I was kind of nervous because it was really unconventional, but I shouldn't have been.  They were a hit!  Everyone loved them and asked where I got them.  I was blushing like crazy when Michelle announced to everyone, "Anna made these.  She can make anything!"  It was the perfect gift. 

I used my Heirloom Stocking pattern to make these, and you can too!  Check the Yards and Yards shop.
