Our Colonel Cupcake Christmas stocking is worked in embroidered needlepoint. Embroidered needlepoint: the ground is stitched flat and even, the detail sits proud of it.
Sized to hang on the mantel and actually hold gifts, not just decorate. Name tags on the cuff and it becomes the same stocking every year.
A nutcracker in a pink and cream coat with gold trim and blue trousers stands on a hot-pink ground strewn with confetti and peppermint candy. A teal velvet cuff tops it, with teal piping around the edge. Needlepoint through and through, a traditional subject in entirely untraditional color.

The ground is covered stitch by stitch and the highlights are embroidered on top, the way this line has always been built. Seasonal designs are made in limited runs: once a Christmas design sells through it is usually gone until next year. A thoughtful gift for hosts, newlyweds, and first-Christmas households.
