I haven't done ThankfulThursday in awhile and by the time I'm done posting it technically won't be Thursday anymore, but I don't want to go to my empty bed yet so I'm stalling, hoping Justin will call before he goes to bed (he's in Vegas visiting family).
1. I am thankful for Katelyn. What a little ray of sunshine.
2. I really like having a husband.
3. I really like having a husband who has three day weekends for the whole summer
4. I'm grateful to have another girl because I like sewing dresses and making hair bows, and other girly things.
5. I love my sewing machine.
To expound on the last one, I have developed quite a little passion for sewing. I love to make something and feel so proud of it. There's just something magical about taking a piece of fabric and turning it into something beautiful and useful. I also really like being frugal and using what I have. What a super good feeling it is to know that I saved money by cutting up an old shirt or pair of pants and making a pillow or clothes for Katelyn. I love it. I also really like being able to give things away that I made. Sometimes I get scared that my little projects might seem like "Aunt Eunice creations" to those that I give them to and they might be too nice to say "ew, what yucky taste," or "this looks homemade and tacky"......but mostly I like giving a part of myself in whatever I give as presents so I do it anyway.

I love this post, and I love your sewing projects, AND..I love your thankful attitude :)
Cute dress. I wish you lived closer to me so you could sew me a dress. I also wish that when I sewed my things came out looking as nice. I haven't been able to progress past bean bags. You have quite a talent. And no one would be able to say it was an "Aunt Eunice" creation by any means.
That is one very pretty dress
That is a beautiful dress. And I love the skirt you made me. Granted, I have to lose some weight so it'll fit again, but I'm getting there. :) I miss you.
