DH and I had such a great time at Stitch this past Saturday evening. I knew he’d appreciate the handmade angle of the whole event but was worried he may be a bit bored. Boy was I wrong. He immediately said we needed to split up and browse, he did call mover for a consult on a fine fine piece of stitched art, but otherwise, wandered by his lonesome for over an hour and a half. When I met up with him for the consult, he already had more bags than I did.

I walked in with one small bag and walked out with three bags slung over my shoulder, with one little stowaway clutch some headbands and the cutest vintage button brooch.

Some crafters/artists we purchased our treasures from:

Bolsa Bonita I bought a great messenger bag

Cahoots Handbags    I will so be buying from this woman again, such great bags.

Made by Hank

Moxie

Round Robin Press  so so sweet, so jealous.

October is my favorite month of the year. It’s always one big month long celebration. In October we celebrate my husband’s birthday and our anniversary, and a couple other special dates. Also, the end of summer. I just love October! I took this photo 3 years ago in October when my sister and I were visitng our mother in New Jersey. Sadly we don’t get Fall color like this in Central Texas. My first few years living here I was so sad to be missing the change of seasons. In the past few years I have finally made Texas my home, really. Now I am able to appreciate the Fall, however brief it may be….but I can see it, smell it and hear it again. Funny how things happen when you sit still.

I am just inches from finishing Wisp and am thinking that I should start some socks instead of a lace shawl since I’ll be knitting while visiting with my In-laws soon. Easier to listen when not counting stiches. I’m also really excited that my hubbie’s sister will be joining his parents on their visit. really excited! We finished painting the guest room a buttery yellow this weekend. We have a friend building an iron bed for the room too. This room will double as my craft/sewing room so the color was important to me. I had myself convinced that it would be great a nice neutral kahki…but I couldn’t bring myself tolove any of the samples I’d smeared on the walls. I needed color, big surprise.
