So it is a doubly blessed endeavor of love.

You and your mother are fantastic. I love the way you worded this post.
ReplyDeleteI agree, love to watch the birds. And as far as the throw, oh my goodness, it is breathtaking. What a masterpiece. This is a true work of art. How long did this take to make? To have someone love you this much. What a gift.

ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful. I'm sure he loves it. I love the way you put scripture in each square as well. I both knit and crochet. I just love watching some small turn into something wonderful.
