I found this picture buried in the Christmas stocking cuff file, and it occurred to me that there is still time to do stocking cuffs before the finishing deadlines.I really like the idea of the cuffs rather than stitching a full stocking anyway, as they make a prettier, and not quite so busy, accessory hanging over the fireplace in a group for a family.
This one was a custom piece I painted long ago as an addition to some already existing cuffs I had - in the William Morris/Art Nouveau look. I was short one in the collection, so had to draw a new one that would coordinate.
This cuff is very cheerful and festive in color, and would be soooo pretty with some sparkle and shine on it - not overdone, but enough to make a statement. Since I am a.k.a. "Granny" in this family, that might look nice on it.

Cheerful and festive without being overblown - a really good balance!
Lovely! I'm not anyone's grandmother, but I'd like it, too!
Quite beautiful and a very different design. Will be elegant!
