Quite an Accomplishment

With all that is ugly in the country and the world this is a story of love and happiness. Yesterday I had the privilege to deliver three needlepoint stockings that my friend Christy that she designed and stitched for her sons. She wanted to make them new Christmas stockings that were personal to each of them, but were coordinated to go together.
For all the stitchers out there you know how long making a Christmas stocking takes. I know of people who spend years making just one stocking. Before now I have never met anyone who stitched three in five months.  
This labor of love turned out just beautifully. And is worth sharing with everyone. Christy let me take a picture of the stockings, but did not want to be in the photo so she placed them on this table. Only after I looked at the photo hours later did I notice that I had caught her reflection in the mirror. I hope she doesn’t mind that I caught her, but her smiling face should be captured because her work is a labor of love for her kids.
It’s nice to have something happy and uncontroversial to share today!
