SPEAKS VOLUMES

My youngest son was working for a furniture store and he brought this for me for Mother's day. He took alot of harassment from his co-workers for buying this.

They say pictures speak a thousand words.....this one speaks volumes to me.



Here are my Halloween block swaps which Jane hosted. Thanks Jane....love them all.

    Oh isn't that pretty. My mother-in-law bought that exact same one for my husband about 5 years ago. I love those blocks.

    I love the blocks! What are you going to make from them??? Will you need to add a couple more blocks? I noticed there were 22 and I can't figure that into a top evenly lol!

    Your son is a jewel. Only a young man of character would buy his mother something and take the ribbing from his co-workers. I love those facesless Willow Tree figurines. I have several of them myself :-)

    As a mother of four sons, I can really relate to the emotions you must have felt when you received that touching figurine. It is lovely, Barb.

    Your quilt blocks look wonderful too.

    I love the figurine...It shows your son is very thoughtful and caring for his Mum...
    The other boys should take a lesson from your son on this!!
    I think he is a special son!

    Your son is special! I love those figurines. My granddaughter gave me one and I do cherish it. Love your Halloween blocks. Seeing that you are getting yours done has given me a nudge to do something with mine. Wasn't that a fun project.
