indiana christmas

How can I capture the week we had in Indiana for Christmas? Joy, peace, love. It was our first visit back since we moved. Thankfully, we managed to see most of our immediate family (except for my parents visiting my grandparents in Arizona). All seven nephews and nieces, four brothers and four sisters, parents and grandparents (an anniversary dinner for 65 years of marriage, amazing). Plus, some time with close friends in the area (one who had a beautiful baby girl). Praise God for safe traveling around northern Indiana. He even brought snow. I love Christmas, and my husband, and our families.

I've been making those cowls I posted a few weeks ago. Used Phoeberkins as my model (surprise? no). Really, Jamie deserves most of the credit. She started making some, and it rubbed off on me, well, and all of us in apartment complex 305.

I'm thinking of selling them. Is that a good idea? Anyone interested? Probably should have thought about this more than eight days before Christmas. Or I could start a photography business taking cute photos of kids? I'm not a professional. I feel bad asking anyone to pay me. Same with crochet, my grandma is legit. I'm not.

Dear Lauren,

Look what I found to match those Indiana cutting boards you posted around Christmas. I totally be crushing on this necklace!

Love,
Emilie
