I would normally never think of this, but the idea just popped into my head when I was looking for craft fur at Michael’s…why not make life a little easier, right? And if a stocking or two gets sacrificed in the process, then that’s just the way it goes sometimes…LOL I like having some winter décor around after the holidays because everything looks so bare with the Christmas decorations packed away, so I’m glad I can transition these. Ummm….about the red part…..LOL. They were not well made and I had red fluff everywhere, so I threw them away…don’t hate me…LOL. I couldn’t think of another thing to do with all that crumbly material…LOL Hugs!!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-45385350257171305372015-12-09T09:28:33.610-06:002015-12-09T09:28:33.610-06:00Thank you so much!

Since I’ve never had a broken bone, I do not want to tempt fate…LOL I don’t know why I waited to so long to fix up these skates…I’ve had them forever and they’ve just been plain and boring. I do love that the skates you have are your very own…that makes them so extra special! Two new hips???!!

Love the skates, and I love how you added the faux fur trim, I have 'cut' up those stockings before for the trim too.<br />I just love how the sled and skates look, with the ribbon they are perfect for Christmas, and like you said you'll be able to use them as winter décor after Christmas too! So pretty! Now, what are you going to make with the rest of the stockings? ;)<br />Hugs, KimberleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15312879348897409277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-47756842812813859092015-12-08T18:42:23.705-06:002015-12-08T18:42:23.705-06:00Love the skate idea!

If you wish for real big things, all you're gonna get is real big disappointments." Love what you did wit the skates – I have too much Christmas stuff I use mine as a winter decoration to brighten things up after Christmas – only mine are vintage metal clamp on ones with hearts where the sole of the boot fits that allows me to carry it over as as V’day decoration too – I love multi season/holiday decorations!
