Tuesday Afternoon

There is nothing greater than a three day weekend, (four for my son).

There is nothing greater than waking up next to Shawn, three mornings in a row, (and a little bit later than normal which I’m glad to say).

Wouldn’t you know?

I’d say that I’ve been busy, that would be my excuse. And to some extent it’s been true. But the real reason I haven’t posted, (or knit much for that matter), is that I’ve been extremely tired. This whole week has been draining. But this weekend was excellent and here’s why:

After finishing the Little Bunny [...]
