How cute. You do so well with these. I loved the cupcake, but this pear better.

So cute!
ReplyDeleteCutest thing ever. My girls like to crochet (one of them especially) and they will love seeing this! I even blogged about their little crocheting adventure. One of my daughters is also Liz by the way. (She currently wants to be called Liz-ashlea, because her name is Elizabeth Ashlea.) Love your little bio, too. Made me giggle, which is always nice. ;)
