Pink Block Done

Some time back, I received a beautiful pink block in the mail. I have no idea who sent it to me, but I am grateful. This picture is the pink block now that I have finished working on it. I am planning to make a series of blocks to go together with this one, which I will put together in a head board for my bed. I expect it to be wondrous.

These last 2 pics are different views of the weeping willow tree I made for Jane. It doesn't seem to look as good in the pics as it does in person, but then, pics are like that.

4th of July

I want to wish everyone, American or not, a happy 4th of July. Everyone has one, but it apparently only has special meaning to Americans. But I know that the rest of you know what it stands for to us, and I wish the same for each and every one.

"Liberty and Justice to all"

And God bless us all.
