This is a little number I finished a while ago, but couldn’t post until now. I was waiting on the images from Mr. Photographer. And now that I have them, so do you. I’m going to edit this post and add the pattern (for free) a little later today. I’m in a rush and have to get to the dentist by 9am. Nothing like squeaky clean teeth. Dirtay mouth? Clean it up!
