Even though once again, foiled by the BIL and his handi-work (this year it was stitched-up fancy napkins), I think my MIL liked the turtle. I barely finished it on time and forgot to take a picture before I boxed and wrapped it.
I decided to start now of Christmas stockings for next year. My DH had to buy some on Christmas Eve at the dollar store because we couldn’t find any anywhere. I may also make knitted presents next year as well.
