I spent most of last week with The Little Men & Co. Have I mentioned how I adore these little peeps?? ;) Amanda and I found these fun Valentine wreaths at Hobby Lobby while I was there. They make me smile.
Other things that make me smile... snuggle time with Roo while we were in the pick-up line waiting on Alex to get out of school.
And, the sweet treasures that were bestowed on me... Heart songs...

I so deeply appreciate the pieces of themselves they give through their creativity and love. I am blessed beyond measure.
The Big Easy II crossed the finish line Saturday evening and was blocked on Sunday! HAPPY to have a replica of my old favorite. ;)
I hope each of you have a wonderful week... and find a place to give of yourselves... I'm on the lookout for my spot, too.

Awww such a sweet pic of you and Roo. I know you enjoyed your visit with all of them. :) So adorable that they show they love your by giving you gifts that they made. No greater gifts than heart gifts. They are so creative, just like you. :)
I love, love, love your shawl. It's so warm and cozy looking. Just in time, too for all the crazy weather.
Blessings to you always sweet friend. ((hugs)).
And I love seeing and hearing about your Little Peeps!! Thanks for sharing.
Best,
Bonnie
I know you love your time with the little guys (who have gotten so big now). Love the heart wreaths and their sweet gifts of love. Of course, your knitwork is always beautiful ... the shawl is just gorgeous. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week.
I love the shot of you and Roo in 'snuggle' time
I'm guessing with your little guys you are reaping what you sowed. Such sweet caring boys. I know you savor every moment with them. The Big Easy !! looks wonderful.
Perfect title, showing off your loves and being loved.
You know what Tanna? I think you look like the lovely Meryl Streep!
And...that picture of you and grandson is precious...as are their tiny gifts to you ♥️ Treasures for sure.

You have such a beautiful family. Love reading you again and the Big Easy...well, I yearn to have one of my own. Someday soon, I hope to take the time to knit this one. It is gorgeous. Sends you lots of hearts....Susan

It is so nice to spend quality time with the grandchildren--thye are all precious moments.
I believe I have the same heart wreath on my door! Hard to believe January passed so quickly.
Glad you were able to replicate the shawl you loved!

Love that pic with your little man!!! and hurray!!! for the finished shawl!!! so glad you have it back in your life!
Linda is right, you do look like Meryl Streep! And that's pure joy I see on your face as you hug your grandson. Also on the post where you're pictured hugging your "baby" on the motorcycle--I feel the same way about my "babies."
