Hello hello, how are you blogaudience?! I am very happy. Halloween is OVER! And I’m not a hater, but I am so relieved. There is something about the day after Halloween that feels like the end of a marathon. I don’t know if it’s the back to school busyness, that goes into Fall sports/activities crazytown, right into PTA nuttiness, followed by autumn splendor mania, and then the trifecta of parade/party/trick or treating but after it’s over I am so relieved. … More

little baby bear
Of course after clearing out/destashing my basement fabric supply I get the bug to make a bear from felted thrifted sweaters. I’d held on to that stuff for years! Since this era!

So I barely know how to do this but I think I want to make an afghan of hexagons. I should totally go … More
apple picking
I’m all proud of myself because we went and picked the apples before it was too late. I always miss it. Pickings were slim. And I may be imagining it, because I know it was a hard Winter for apples, but they don’t seem to taste as awesome as they normally do.
