Skull and Crossbones Cake

FO Friday — What did I finish this week?
Ok, seriously where has time gone? I was trying to remember if I even finished any projects this week…only one and that was early in the week. Obviously not much hooking time this week. I finally finished testing this Slip …
Can’t resist….T..I…double G..ER
I couldn’t resist showing off my cute little grandson. I’ve always had a fondness for Tigger and this little guy makes my day. Too bad he is about 1500 miles or so away from me.
