Bethlehem Rose Christmas Stocking

I made this Christmas stocking for myself.  I have never one before.  When growing up, my mom used to hang one of her old nylon hose (the single leg style) and fill it with unshelled mixed nuts, oranges, and apples.  Perhaps this was a throwback to her own childhood when they were lucky to receive even a single orange for Christmas.
I had made stockings for everyone in my family and decided it was my turn to make one for me.
