Leading up to my New Year's Eve plan, I took a wrong step in these beautiful gold clogs! I've done the "wrong step" before, but never really damaged my foot like this.
Ouch! Needless to say I wouldn't be wearing my New Year's Eve shoes!
Actually, I wouldn't have worn them anyway, cause it was so damn cold. I couldn't even wear my dress!
I made this dress in the summer. The pattern at the top is the same at the bottom
I started with the bodice, so I could get the lace pattern working that direction. I then picked up the stitches around the waist so the stitch pattern would go the opposite direction. It's very sexy on and makes me feel that way too!
In my family, and in other families across the USA, we have a tradition of eating black-eyed peas and greens. These signify good luck and money.
Several years ago I started my own tradition of making a savory pie using these ingredients. I altered a recipe I got from Martha Stewart, so It would be my own special pie! I wasn't able to make it New Year's Day, but my mom said "As long as it's made and eat'n in the first 7 days it's ok" Thanks Mom!
I made the pie on Friday the 2nd. It turned out beautiful and umm, umm, spicy good!
Here's to the New Year!!!
