An awesome pencil might be the only reason I am still reading this late at night.
Other things that make life just a little bit easier? Shawl pins. I picked this one up at a little antique shop downtown this summer.
Back to it.

Lovely pin! Cheering you on for your work all the way from Germany! Wish I had your perseverance…
Hang in there!! This week will be my “nose to the grindstone” week. Solidarity!!
The pin looks lovely on you, friend!
The pin is perfect for Terra! It looks perfect — I hope an extra non-slip cozy layer helped the reading along. You can do it!
