in our apartment

i hang out in our living room, with my finished blanket on the couch and the horse paint by number i did when i was 12.

i work on some new sweaters and chevron patterns, also a lace dress and a cape

i eat roasted sweet potatoes which are my favorite 

i write return letters to some of my besties

and i start to pack. we found out that things are going to be moving faster than we planned, mike got an internship at a studio in northern california, and me and fig will be living in minnesota for the next little while. starting in three and a half weeks!

bike riding

today we rode our bikes.  it was my first time getting to ride the bike i got for my birthday. something about summer being way too hot, and then the bikes getting locked up all winter and the key getting lost..and mike finally giving up looking for it and cutting them apart with bolt cutters today.. and then us going on our first ride.

 so i'm glad we now get to pedal around and enjoy the nice weather and buddy trees, 

because this will be our last spring in georgia! 

yes, it's true.. we are moving by summer. and i can't wait! time to move on to new things.

now if only fig would be good and sit still in a bike basket! then everything would be perfect.

pretty tree

bike ride happy faces

and some action shots:

me pushing myself through mud,

and mike being an intense bike rider.

micro pug and more owls

i am putting a few new things in my shop in the next couple weeks, and today i listed some tiny crochet pugs and owls! 

for sale here. 

owlet

i am trying out crocheting some mini animals, and today i made this little owl.

she is so small that right now she's being like thumbelina and sitting on top of a flower in a vase on my table.

and here is my coffee table earlier, while i was doing lots of crafts.  i'm working on new ideas to put in my etsy shop for springtime!

 hope you had a nice day with your valentines!

sweets

mike left for some man camping yesterday morning.  i have been a little under the weather this week, and it's strange for him to be gone. i miss him alot..even though it's only for a few days.  and so far i have watched a whole bunch of tv, and eaten valentine candy that my parents sent.  and fig has become evil without her playmate and tried to eat my new grey nail polish while i wasn't looking. i think she mostly went after chewing the cap, but it spilled everywhere and on her.  she's such a peach.

some of the candy my mom sent in one of the leftover jam jars that were favors at our wedding. still has the label and everything. 

 today i decided i should do some things, so i finally took pictures of a turban headband i made awhile back,

started my february book club book,

and am roasting sweet potatoes instead of eating valentine sweets for supper.

heart garland

this heart garland is so so cute. i found the pattern here, and made it last night. it was really quick and easy. i think i'll probably make a few hundred more. 

also on my valentine list, 

to make and send cards, 

bake these cupcakes,

and make something valentiny for fig to wear. she will love that so much.
