I am a creative wife/mother/grandmother who comes from a whole family of very creative and artistic people. I grew up on a farm near Silver Creek Falls in Oregon. I have knitted Christmas stockings since my mom taught me how to knit when I was in grade school. I have knitted as a hobby making presents for friends and family through the years. I have made & sold stockings at "The Greens Show" in December at the Oregon State Fairgrounds each year, and at a couple of retail stores at the Holidays, but I only started selling my Christmas Stockings on the internet a few years ago. I now have retail shops on Etsy.com and ebay as well as my santasstockingworks.com website.
