Are the house walls a decorative stitch? Just love that block! Actually, I found you from the quilt that block is a part of. Fabulous doesn't do the quilt justice. Any hints you want to share of the block construction are welcome, I want to try my hand. Reminds me of some houses on St. George Island, FL.

She commented she's going to the wedding for a college friend next week, hasn't found a gift yet and was worried that all the "good gifts" from the registry were already purchased. I told her she didn't HAVE to buy from the registry, that a registry used to be for expensive gifts, that one person couldn't afford, but many could buy pieces of, like a set of china or good stoneware or sterling silver. Each could buy a place setting. She was stunned. I reminded her she knew this girl and could go find something lovely she thought the girl would like and give that as a wedding gift. It's time to move away from conscripting your invited "guests" into buying specific gifts in lieu of a meal. What's next? 'I'm having a small dinner party next week, please find the flat screen TV I desire as a hostess gift on my registry at Best Buy'!?!??Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10988655883143861211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6686963620009544835.post-1148938807842102392011-09-02T20:43:52.061-05:002011-09-02T20:43:52.061-05:00Mmmm well I will say I am pleased I am in the wint...Mmmm well I will say I am pleased I am in the winter of my life...and I won't be around to see this child in the future lolSparkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456305568995973018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6686963620009544835.post-17665038445665371082011-09-02T11:51:11.744-05:002011-09-02T11:51:11.744-05:00Just say no!

When parents spend as much on a party as they do their mortgage or even more than their mortgage, it is ridiculous.
