I hope everyone has had a great week! My has been full of adventure, loads of free time to crochet and sadly a quick trip to the ER because my youngest had to get stitches after falling on a playground! Ouch! anyone else ever have to take a child under 6 in for stitches? It can be a very traumatic experience but he was a brave little boy!
