Carson's Birthday...


 Another Grandson's birthday coming up - and Mo's images to the rescue!  Finding a non-cutsy image for a teenage boy is not always easy.  This Mo Manning image fills the bill - cell phones and/or headphones are pretty much a constant at this age.  I had fun with this one adding paper piecing to the chair.
