I thought my mom took forever to get something painted (she paints furniture in a similar way), but I don't think she ever took this long. I'm going to show her this post. She will enjoy the painting and the time frame.<br /><br />~Faith<br /><a href="http://airynothing.net/Blogs/index.php?blog=11" rel="nofollow"> Sew Many Blessings</a><br /><a href="http://airynothing.net/Blogs/index.php?blog=10" rel="nofollow">Needle & Fabric Art</a>tongfengdemaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17109314578773780990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-62304162286890283702010-06-03T06:53:31.836-05:002010-06-03T06:53:31.836-05:00What a stunning sewing box.

I can imagine that you would have forgotten about the box over the years but it was worth waiting for. It is actually quite funny when you think of it.<br /><br />the 2 year old Jack sure still looks like the 12 year old Jack now 6'1".<br />That was a wonderful picture of Jack and your Dad. Did your Dad atend this same school or were you just commenting on the 60 years ago?<br /><br />I can hardly wait to see what you will come up with for a sewing etui.<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br />FredaBFredaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000510495713705938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-87661869197670969822010-05-31T13:57:20.127-05:002010-05-31T13:57:20.127-05:00Oh, I can hardly wait to see it in person.
