conquistador

i consider myself very blessed.

at times i also consider myself very spoiled.

my mother-in-law (aka "ma") spoils me. a lot.

she came to stay with us wednesday night. she brought dinner. she also brought a gorgeous hand-knitted beanie - made from the fur of a white alpaca named conquistador. love love love it.

she is the sweetest! she is adorable and she is ooober talented. each time i have shown ma a photo of a drool-worthy knitted or crocheted accessory from anthro or urban outfitters... voila, in no time at all, she has (with love) made me one even more drool-worthy. (and of course, she makes gorgeous hand-knitted/crocheted gifts for ryan and oliver too - blankets, slippers, precious baby hats... ma's sisters, auntie m and auntie sharon, got the super talented gene too. we love all the home-made gifts!)

fabulously spoiled. i am.

not like me to post pics of me but i want to show you my new hat (which is rad and glow-y in these pics):

some of my favorite hand-made treasures from ma:

thank you thank you ma! love you!

looking forward to the long weekend. yippee!
