    ha ha ha or should i say ‘baa baa baa’ cute ! in my home ‘shaun the sheep’ is a funny character so this will add to the fun. i am going to crochet one and place on the frig to see who notices. a few years ago i crocheted a ‘shaun the sheep’ for one of my children. the question was Christmas morning as he was lounging under the tree who he belonged to. shaun sits honorably on our guest room bed since his owner is at college.
