a tattoo for jewish girls who love their mums.
feeling meloncholy this morning, i miss my mom! i called her to wish her a happy mother’s day, but i wish i was home to give her a hug. fortunately i’ll be seeing her on wednesday, so i can give her the card we picked out and the gift i knit for her. and then on to a weekend with mellie! yay! double yay! i knit this from annypurl’s ‘winged heart tattoo’ pattern,...
