Trying to get back into the swing of things... and I needed something that would make me SMILE.
Now, I personally have no love for this food.. but I have quite a few friends who just love their avocado sandwiches, dips and whatever else this little fruit has to offer.
And for those that love avocados, just the thought of them smiling.. makes me smile.
So, I introduce to you Asher.. Asher the Avocado!
(CP60 - Asher the Avocado replaces Week 30's courtesy pattern announcement - as the original offering was a themed pattern which is no longer in season.)
