Holidays, learning to knit, and other excitement!

Lots of really exciting things in the works, including...I am learning to knit!!! Mary at Lizzie Ann's Wool Co has taken me on as a student. I could not beleive I was able to leave the shop after less than an hour with crazy knitting skills! Okay, not quite crazy, but I can cast on, and I can garter stitch something fierce! Purling is next...

My first project is a basic scarf made from some INCREDIBLE Classi Elite Aspen Yarn in Resort, a fantastic multi-toned purple.

I've also been working on some fun little projects for the holidays, Etsy, and a friend who's expecting a little one in March...

not too much to say today...

Just a snap of some recently thrifted items. vintage linens just like the ones my mom had as a girl, some diner mugs, and a nice pyrex casserole...I can never have too much Pyrex or Fire King!

Been feeling very blah lately, I think it's a side effect of an endless marathon of editing weddings and protrait sessions in front of the computer. As of right now, I see no light at the end of the tunnel, hoepfully that will change in another week.

So, can I live vicariously through you all? Do me a favor, get some fresh air for me and enjoy the fall! :)

the last few leaves...

I can hardly beleive that fall is nearing it's end. It seems like just yesterday that I was posting about the end of summer. Although it was busy, we had lots of time to enjoy the crisp weather...picking apples, outdoor portrait sessions, trick or treating, soccer games, and of course, football! My favorite holidays are just around the corner, and a season filled with baking, sewing, needlework, family time, and just being snug as a bug.

Photo Therapy!

Even though I felt icky and depressed, I could NOT resist the incredible late October weather that we had yesterday. I borrowed my business partner's camera, and set out with my little Stella Bella, in her special Matilda Jane dress, and I decided to just try to have fun with a camera...no pressure. We chased fairies, made wishes, picked flowers, and spun in circles, and took a few pictures along the way.

It really was good therapy...here are a few images that I loved!
