Hi, Mom!

Happy birthday, Mom!

I wish I could be there to do fun things with you like this:

Or maybe even just do a little knitting together.

This year, I gave my mom a book called Knitting Yarns: Writers on Knitting, which sounds awesome and which I haven't had a chance to read yet.  Have any of you guys read it? Hopefully I'll find a little time to download it onto my Kindle and start reading it soon.

Anyway, I love you, Mom, and I hope you had a great birthday!

My Mom's Birthday

Today is my mom's birthday!  Happy birthday, Mom!!!

My parents went out for dinner and dancing at a fancy hotel in Colorado Springs last night to celebrate.  Doesn't that sound fun?

I did a little embroidering for the occasion, as pictured above.  I used this embroidery technique.

This is my mom (and my sister):

I wish she were in Mexico with me today; there's surfing here too!

Anyway, my mom is really cool and I love her to pieces and I hope she's having a great time in Colorado Springs!
