I am finally getting a chance to post here again. I keep getting sick. I feel like I have been sick almost constantly since February. I think having two small children, a husband who works a LOT (and crazy hours) and trying to sqeeze in some hours at my job is just taking its toll [...]

(Both are patterns that I love [...]
