Snow in October!! When I had posted on my Facebook that I had seen my first snowfall of 2012, everyone went a little crazy! Actually, they thought I was a little crazy! LOL... Especially since it was in the mid-50's here. Today, I  was Skyping with my brother  who lives in Colorado and they were having the snow... he held his webcam up to the window so I could see it, so, yes technically, I saw snow falling today! I love the snow and it did make me happy to see it. And, a little excited, too! I love the changes of seasons... so much beauty of God's Creation to behold. Each season, has something special about it.  

Sew many projects, so little time!! I am living that quote, these days! I am getting some projects done, which is a great thing, and some Christmas gifts made in the process. But, as I look around, I always find more projects to make!! Something always catches my eye, whether it be quilting, knitting, or now a wool project! I guess it's a good thing that I give things away... otherwise my house would be busting at the seams from them. I can only display so many things in my house, right? 

I went to a quilt shop yesterday, and I bought some Christmas fabrics, with the upcoming church bazaar in mind. So, now I need to get busy to make these items, find someone in the church to make them, or what would be fun, is to do them together! The third choice sounds like more fun. I'll have to approach them at Monday's Quilting Bee. The project I have in mind is to make Christmas Ornaments with Yo-Yo's. A very simple project to do, and Yo-Yo's are fun to make. At least I think they are. I have done them in the past, so I have 'samples' for the church/quilt ladies to see. I'll just have to dig them out of the Christmas totes before Monday!

Going to clo

 
Well, I have done it! I have started working with new mediums... Wool/Wool Felt. It is fun & simple to do. Yes, it can be time consuming, but the beauty of the item being made, is well worth it! I have been on Pinterest , looking for more projects and ideas to make. I am on the look-out for Fall things, but, I am going beyond this season for the next and the next, and then the next...  I'll post the new pictures in my gallery. Check them out!

Our grandson has joined Boy Scouts. He was all dressed and ready for his meeting tonight when his Mom, (our daughter) sent us this adorable picture. What a boy!!

The weather has become typical Fall weather... cooler (& raining) lately. Though, I am not complaining about the rain because we really do need it. We were back home last week, and the trees have put on their Fall wardrobe of many beautiful colors. It will be a couple of weeks before they start changing here, but, that's OK.  We'll get to see the colors longer this way! The scenery sure is pretty as we travel back & forth on the interstate!

Since the weather is not the outdoor type right now, I have been staying indoors. And, since this weeks chores are kind of done, (at least what I WANT to do), I am hoping to get some time in my sewing room.  Maybe unpacking some boxes, getting some things arranged  and also doing some 'playing'!! I did stop in at the local quilt shop this afternoon. I found a real pretty light, sage green piece of wool. I can't wait to find a project to use it in, Though, when I look at it, I see Spring things made from it! I also ordered an orange plaid, some solid black, and some dark red/burgundy. I will be starting some Christmas items soon. The new church will have a Bazaar in mid-November, so, I will be making things for that, as well as doing some Christmas presents. I am making a lot of presents this year. I have or am working on scarves for the great-nieces. I am unsure if I'll get anything done for the great-nephews this year. I might have to do theirs for next year. Though, that would not be nice or fair, would it? I'll have to keep busy.

OK... going to close for tonight. These rainy days make me tired!!

HAPPY FALL, Y'ALL!!

Keep Stitching,

Chris
