Yesterday was a tough day for me. I don’t know how to incorporate personal drama into this blog and I’m not sure I even want to. So suffice it to say the boyfriend and I hit a bump in the relationship road and are now working things out but it’s been tough and emotionally draining (I forced myself to act professional and go to work, thus increasing the drain).

Anyway, I thought I’d post about a few things that are cheering me up:

These incredible patterns for knitted ice cream. They are the best such patterns I’ve seen yet!
