Mothers Day Surprise

Sam

I don't often talk about my eldest child here on the blog...

He's a Teenage Boy - what funny little creatures they can be!

But I really wanted to share the gift he made me for Mothers Day this year.

I reckon its Pretty Damn Awesome for a 13 year old...

He made it in Woodworking Class at school. 

The instructions were for a simple hinged box, with everything sitting squarely...

But "My Boy" wanted his to look a little different - so he implemented that fabulous curve.

I love that he has a burning need to do things differently than the norm.

Even if it does drive me INSANE at times...

Thanks Everyone...

I have to agree - he is VERY talented. He loved his arts and craft as a child, and then I was really sad when he abandoned them for a few years (the lure of computer games took over)... but he's settled back into his creative ways now.
