Alas

I have nothing made this week. But, I do have things in progress, like, a hexagon beaded box, a black needle felted horse and two small appliqued quilts.
In the meantime here are some pics of my boys.

Nearly my two year old on the left with his best buddy Buster who is 5 years old.
Here is Nearly lying on the bed. How can you not love that sweet face. This sweet boy can do no wrong!!

The pile party consisting of Skeezix my 14 years old, bless his sweet old self. Buster in the middle and as usual Nearly on the bottom.

Thanks for looking!!
