I need some ideas *pics included*

What about a heel cap:

Sorry, it's the only example I could find

I really like FP's idea (you could do both the heel and the toe w/ your silver thread--that would be cute)!

But if you don't want to do that for whatever reason, you could do a little frozen pond--just an icy-blue blob with a darker blue outline and lines on the top to suggest ice.

I like the idea of presents. That is so very cute, you talented girl!

SOCCER BALL!!! ...Ok....I don't know if your husband likes soccer, but that would be so cute to have a rudolph playing soccer stocking if he did.

Or an icy river that cgoes from the higher end of the heel, "behind" the deer" and to the lower end of the toe. Kind of wavy. if you know what i mean? It would tie everything together more than having one thing of the left and something else on the right...

you are so crafty!

Thanks for the ideas ladies! I like the idea of a river! That would be cute! A soccer ball would be cute, but my husband isn't really into soccer. I thought of a hockey puck though, but I think a hockey puck would just look like a black circle and you wouldn't be able to tell what it was. Or that it might look like a turd that Rudolf just happened to come across! (Hence the look of surprise on his face. )

I've done some more work to the stocking. I added a moon and a piece of green up at the top where I'm going to embroider his name. I'll take more pics of it tonight and post so you can have an idea of what it's starting to look like. I'll also take pics of my stocking that my grandmother made for me as a baby. It's gorgeous and it gave me the inspiration to do my husband's.

Thanks for the suggestions!

How about some sort of bird, maybe a cardinal that might be kind of hard because it would be small. Or what about a bunny or a little decorated Christmas tree.Beautiful work so far.
