Tackle it Tuesday, Birthday and Valentines Day

Jakob turns 16. Happy with our Amazon find of two used games for under $25. I love that we stuck to our budget.

My Valentines Day gift- its for the window in the kitchen. It has rosemary, chives and cilantro. I am excited. I hope I can keep them all alive. I have wanted an Herb Garden for 17 years!

My Tackle it Tuesday. I don't have a name for the quilt yet.

Each center piece of the 9 Patch block is a special Frog fabric that my friend Diana sent me a while ago. I finally turned those 12 6 inch blocks into a quilt.

There are lots of other frogs fabrics, one with sunflowers, one with daisy's, then also butterflies and dragonflies

They are all bordered with a denim looking fabric. I just love this fabric! I had wanted to make this one for myself but since money is still pretty tight I will be finishing it up and listing it to sell. I pray it finds a lovely new home. I need to decide if I will use a denim color blue flannel or a special print.

Zekaryah Showing Love

Money is tight and that is the way for so many people in the world these days. I had talked with the kids about doing something small for my birthday as an act of kindness. This was what Zekaryah did for me. 

I love it!

He even hung it outside by the front door for me. He made this wreath out of tree vines from our back yard. It is GORGEOUS! It also is flowers from the yard. I love these little pink ones he found. I made a suggestion to my husband that he take Zekaryah to purchase some fake flowers once they die so that he can then decorate it. For a boy who is only 13 I think he has a skill that is worth putting some resources into. What a great birthday gift!
