what's wrong with this picture?



so lucy went with me to run pattern copies, makes the job that much sweeter but she was confused as she thought i was some great quilt maker or something and all i had for her to lay on was an old sweatshirt!!!
next time i'll remember something cute for the cute baby....
this having lucy with me may help my ego as two people were nice enough to think she was "my baby".....
enjoy your day
