happy birthday, ma!

happy birthday mom! it was my mom's bday today and since my mom is more low-key than my grandma (who is a party animal) we had a breakfast party rather than an evening one. i was pretty tired from the night before 'cause i stayed up until 6am just trying to work on some finals stuff (this coming week is finals week; i have one class pretty much done, two to go), but i got a chance to knit and say hi to my family who i haven't seen since pretty much thanksgiving (which is a looooong time for me). in addition to her bought gift (a set of gourmet teas and tea holder dish thingees) i made her a cable hat and some fingerless gloves. sucks that i actually only got a crappy pic of them but i'm going to try to photograph them again some other time. here's a somewhat decent pic of her wearing the hat tho :)
