wood working

Dear hubby does alot of wood working - he has made many items for our home, from the coffee table in our living room, to quilt block frames and shelves...
But this weekend, he made me something extra-special. Some of you may know me from my *old blog*, but my Dad passed away suddenly, almost 1-1/2 years ago, at the young age of 63, of a heart attack. This has been the hardest thing I have ever been thru. I miss him very much, every day. I was lucky enough to get the belt buckle that Dad wore every day. So Jim made me a plaque with the belt buckle mounted on it. We got the name plate at one of those engravers in the mall. I have it hanging by my desk/sewing area...



On a lighter note, while Jim was working in his shop, Jimmy went down with him to help... :o)

Thanks for looking!

Jimmy's so cute. Little boys sure love to "help" dad huh? I'm surprised he can lift the drill too. Those things are heavy!
