can i tell you...

how adorable my mother is? Actually, there are no words to truly describe how awesome my mom really is. But I can give you an example so you'll have an idea.

We stumble links back and forth to each other all the time. Today she stumbled me a link to a recent entry from Yarn Harlot. In this entry Stephanie compares raising teenaged daughters to the finishing of sweaters. It's really a great post and while I am a seriously crappy knitter, I was once a teenaged daughter, so I see the similarities and can totally appreciate them. This is where the adorable part comes in: along with the stumble, my mom sent a little note. It reads, "I always thought of it in terms of a painting----4 masterpieces down and 2 to go."

My mom thinks I'm a masterpiece and while I know my parents are proud of me, the fact that she said it just made my whole week.
