Surreal links.

Passionate purple links.
Excellent question. Offered without comment. A knitterly, sheepy cake. The silliness, it burns like fire. Oh, hell yeah. Uh-oh. Oh, yeah, I’ve been there. This is magnificent. These socks are impressive, but these take the prize. Reversible socks. Tarmac Tuesday: … Continue reading
