Fall is my absolute favorite season and winter is a close second. So, several months coming right up that I fully enjoy! Beginning yesterday, our weather finally caught up with the season. It was a brisk and cloudy day with a perfect weather week lying ahead! Almost time to scout out those pumpkins, eh?
Still working on our “Hair Raising Halloween” pillows…..
…and catching up on fabric cutting. I hate to admit how far behind I’m running but I’ve owed fabric to a few folks and finally, it’s on it’s way. Feels good….
..and getting back on the walking trail this morning.

Don’t you just love a rainy day, keeping tucked away, and cozy inside? That’s what we have here following a noisy night. I woke up at 2:30am to the loudest clash of thunder I’ve ever heard and literally felt all the way to my bones! I’m somewhat eager to check out all the nearby trees this morning to be sure all are still standing.
A good day to begin working on a project, eh? Maybe a “Hair-raising Halloween” pillow?

As I continue to wrap things up in the studio, unplug from the tech tools, put some finishing touches on two new lines, things are beginning to feel calmer. Yesterday, I even took time to meander around our property a bit, a favorite, especially as fall approaches. Turtles, toadstools, walking sticks, that’s what I’ve been missing! This little guy was trying to get away from me and the camera among my overgrown garden.
Then, just a while ago, I glanced out the studio window and noticed these two young deer chomping on some clover. I’ve spotted them several times lately, very close to the house! Love that. Oops, they heard me.
All summer, I tend to stay indoors since I struggle in the intense heat and humidity. I’m always uplifted and renewed when I can get out and enjoy some of God’s little woodsy creatures.
Chirp, chirp!

“Go Fly A Kite” was in the subject line of an e-mail I received from my son in law with a photo (artistically altered) attached. During our beautiful but breezy weekend, he took our rascally little guy out for his first kite flying experience. It caused me to recall my dad doing the same with us…..once upon a time.
Remember the trill of holding on to a soaring kite, once you had success of actually getting it up in the air?
