Years ago I made my husband and I cross stitch stockings to hang in our first house after we we married. Now that we have added Bella our corgi puppy to the mix I wanted to make her a stocking too -- yes, I'm that dog mom. But I didn't think a standard stocking shape made sense since she doesn't have feet and I definitely did not want to undertake the time commitment it takes to complete actual stockings. So I set out to design my own!
