Made with Love

Our younger son made this, the photo above, from his heart. It was for his 3 month old niece, Maisie, as one of her Christmas gifts. It took him months to make. He drew each shape on wood, cut, painted, decorated, and adorned. He showed it to us before it was completed, just days before we left for Florida. I'm so truly proud of him in every way, including his hidden artistic abilities. I'm now off for my morning walk along the ocean, but will see you all later. It's too beautiful for words outside, and I'm raring to get going!

Wow! That is very impressive. That man has talent and skill!

I hope you won't be jealous. I'm also going for a walk in the windy, freezing , cold streets of Montreal. See what you are missing?

Yes, I did but today is even worse and I'm staying in as the zero F temperature is not appealing at all. Can you send us some warmth?

@DianneN My problem is that I have very little patience sister.

I start many projects and if they take too long, I never complete them.

@LadyDuck Same with me, Sis! I'm also a jack of all trades. I can do almost anything, but none of them well, except cooking. Even with cooking, I've made some big oops that required ordering dinner.

That turned out so adorable. I love the bold colors and the kawaii vegetables. I painted very similar ones on rocks this past summer.

@DianneN I kind of lost interest and ran out of time around the summer. Seems nearly everyone else around here feels the same. To many people were being greedy or destroying them.

@shaggin That's awful! I have one that was given as a gift. You should try again and sell them. From what I've seen, you are very talented.

@DianneN I know you do. Though right now, I could do with some slightly warmer temps. We are supposed to get snow, but not sure if that's today and tomorrow, or tomorrow and Friday. I'll be glad when we do, we'll be out of the deep freeze and it will feel like a heatwave out there.
