I am Thankful, #4

I am thankful for....

the satisfaction of completed projects!

Ok, not COMPLETED, completed, but my part is finished!  And I even have a full NINE days before we have to leave for Thailand.  Last year, I was still sewing Marshall's stocking in the car on the way to catch our flight in L.A.  I had a prepaid envelope all ready to go, so when I finished, Jeremy blocked a postman's truck so the poor guy couldn't leave without taking the package.  ;)  So I am feeling ahead of the game!

As of this year, everyone in my family will have a handmade cross stitched Christmas stocking.

I just have to mail this out for a friend to actually turn into a stocking.  While my sewing skills have improved just a wee bit, I am still not willing to risk ruining something that has been many hours of work for me.  My favorite part about this stocking?  I turned the Teddy Bears sweater into a Marine Corps Dress Blue jacket.

YAY!!!  It's DONE!!!

I am also thankful for Jeremy's brother, Joel because today is his birthday!!
Happy Birthday, Uncle Joel!
