Ok, here is the deal, if you live in the South, you must have black eye peas, cornbread and greens to ensure a year of good luck. Here is our nod to tradition. Read more about it here on this site for more info… 
.. a nice plate of Hoppin John, corn muffins, and we already had our greens with our egg omlet this morning. Here is to a good year!!
On another note, I finally got around to using some more thrifted pillowcases to make yet another nightgown.. I still love this pattern~ McCall’s 5510 it has many variations, but Emma is particurally found of the nightgown version. I thought I would be clever and use the hem of the case for the hem of the gown, but alas, it was too long. So, I had to turn up one time and I zigg zagged a hem. No matter, since little ones grow so fast, it will be easy to let out
Happy New Year, may this one be filled with good health, wealth and much happiness!
