happy valentine's day!

For valentine's day, i made a shirt for my husband - this was my first time making men's clothes. i very much enjoyed making this for him. didnt use any pattern, just kind of cut out the fabric and sew them together. he liked it! yay!

my coworker gave this to me the other day - i took a pic of it since those chocolates are sooo cute! they are from naked chocolate. 

New this week

This purple dress is available at my shop this week! Perfect for New year's eve party.

belated thanksgiving wishes & recipe

belated happy thanksgiving! i had about 15 people over for thanksgiving this year. i made turkey and sweet potato casserole, and people brought other dishes. it was fun! 

since sweet potato casserole was so popular at the party, i will share the recipe here:) 

its sweet, and almost like a desert! 

casserole ingredients:

1.5 lbs of mashed sweet potatoes (peeled, cut and boiled)

3/4 stick butter at room temperature

1 egg

6 tablespoons of sugar

1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice

salt

topping ingredients:

1.5 cups crushed cornflakes

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped pecans

3/4 stick melted butter

preheat oven to 400

beat egg, potatoes, sugar, butter, spice and salt till smooth and blended

pour into baking dish and bake until brown around the edges (25 min)

prepare topping while potatoes are baking (just mix topping ingredients)

spoon over baked potatoes and put back in oven until topping is brown and crisp (10 min) 

its so easy and good! enjoy
