peter pan crochet collar shop update

i just added some peter pan collars to my shop! in navy and cream. 

i'm really excited about these, i like the idea of making and wearing something that's so traditionally ladylike.

 (fig is happy about these too.)

happy new year!

after christmas we drove down from minnesota to florida to spend new year's with mike's family, and then his parents stayed with us for a bit and spoiled us a whole lot.  

but all good fun holidays must end and now it is back to real life..and making food for my own self again. among other things.

i have been without my camera for a little while, since i forgot my charger up in mn. but it came back to me in the mail from my mom yesterday, so i have been taking a whole bunch of pictures of the things i've been working on:

crochet lace collar

 more phone cozies

chunky circle scarf

and here are a few pictures of what mike has been working on:

  while we were in minnesota mike learned under my mom's tutelage how to make homemade wheat bread, garlic naan, and chicken curry.(which i didn't get a picture of) 

i usually cook all of our meals, so this is a big deal! 

they were all really really good, and now i want him to make them all the time.

 mmmmm.
