JD and I took a much needed break from homework doing to go to Walmart. Yes Walmart that evil place. Well you know what. I can buy pins, fabric and foam like padding there so :P. I came home and five minutes later with the afore mentioned items constructed a "blocking board". It's not really a board per say but I can stick needles in it and it has a gingham pattern that was 1X1 squares. I can't complain it will suffice and I didn't spend $50 something dollars plus $20 something in shipping on it. We also had yummy yummy sushi at Minado. JD has deemed it his favorite restaurant.
