A Mother's Day Sneak Peek

My mom is a child at heart. She is very goofy, and always puts a smile on someones face. I think my mom is the only person I know who doesn't like receiving flowers, especially on Mothers Day...I have made the mistake in the past in getting her a bouquet of flowers. :P  My mom takes joy in the little things, and something that makes her laugh will make her day. Soooo...here is a peek at what I am making for her for Mother's Day.

Oh, and did I forget to mention that she looooves cats.

I'm not going to tell you what I have planned for this, but when it is finished I will post. I am very excited to get started on it! I don't have much time now, so I better get cracking on it! Happy Friday! :)

Monday Update

Last night I came up with a sketch that is still in the works...

I have some color combinations brewing that I am eager to add! I hoping to finish it today. 

On the knitting end I am working on a baby blanket for my 'Hope Chest'.

The stitch I am using is the Herringbone stitch, which I am really loving!

My next color stripe is the blue one, which I am super excited about! I would have to say that the colors I chose for this blanket is coastal inspired. I love the earthy tones with the muted blue. 

Have a great day! Back to work for me. :)
