Hey, Toni...we're the opposite black sheep here. My dad had 11 brothers & sisters, mom had 6...so everyone one of THEM decided to have no more than 3 each. I only have 2 brothers. But hubby and I have 6, with #7 on the way. LOL Everyone thinks we're nuts. The first in our family since the grandparents to have more than 3 kids. Even grandma thinks we're kinda insane. But, we don't plan on stopping any time soon, so who knows? I'm only 31, hubby's 29. Lots of child-bearing years left for us. :D

I have a copy of the July/Aug 88 CS&CC magazine and there is a boy stocking on the cover. It does have a small train at the bottom of the stocking,engine,and 2 small cars. a santa doll a quilt draped over a chair a bookcase a wall clock just to name a few other things on the stocking. If this is the pattern you want please let me know and I will be happy to make a copy of it for you and send it your way. Mary

BKG Christmas Stockings Patterns: I have the patterns for the Cross Stitch and Needlework (Better Homes and Gardens) Heirloom Christmas Stockings. I am looking for the patterns in that series for 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003. Can anyone point me in that direction? Thanks, Tanya in New Mexico
