Mom picked this up for me this weekend! THANKS MOM!! I really like this book so far. it has a few patterns, but the focus is on technique and LOTS of stitch patterns! We've already covered the topic of me and patterns... so this is SO sweet!

speaking of sweet.. we've adopted Smokey's brother, Zeebinz (I just made up the spelling. it is a made-up name from the mind of a 3yo...). they look a LOT alike and are having a lot of fun playing together. if he ever crawls out from under Ryan's bed, I'll have to take a picture...
