Merry Christmas!

I'm thinking it's been way too long since I've made a little sign to tuck in something, somewhere in my house. Now with autumn right around the corner, I should get busy. Meanwhile, here's a throwback from an earlier project after we'd finished our ensuite. It's my go-to reminder that no matter what's going on in life, there's always something to be grateful for. Something to put on my list of things that make me smile.

Too early or just right?

These are so quick and fun to make! A favorite from the pattern shop! I love to see what different fabrics creates will use and what they will put up in the top. Some of the most fin was a floral print and a rose arrangement for a Victorian look and black cotton velvet with tansy. The ideas are endless! *patterns available in the US only.

We will be closing for about a month in September, as I make my way to the Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween Show. See you there!

New, "old" wooden tree skirt for our tree out of pallet wood. I will probably paint "Merry Christmas " on it but for now, for this year, it's finished.

I saw this idea on Pinterest and was instantly obsessed, so of course I asked my husband to cut the pieces for me so I could stain and paint them for our deck! As usual,, he kindly obliged :) I'm pretty excited with the results!

I've been working on this little cat off and on for 5 or 6 years, maybe more. I'd made 2 of them and finished one, and gave it as a gift, but would make more progress on this one and for whatever reason, just put it away. This is the year I finally put the finishing touches on it *and* just in time for the right holiday!

More fall vibes. Really, my most favorite thing to do when I'm by myself, is craft/create. Whether I'm painting a picture, sewing, doing mixed media projects, doing holiday greeting cards, it doesn't matter. I like putting music on and creating. I feel like I'm eight years old and sitting at the kitchen table again at my parents' house, and all is right with the world. Pattern by Chestnut Junction.

I'm ready to move on to crafts for fall. Anyone else feel that way? Here's my latest creation from "Three Jacks" by Chestnut Junction.

We spent time framing special school artwork, going outside & having a water fight, watering plants, swinging, handprinting on an oven mitt, sidewalk chalking, running through the sprinkler, then a big lunch. Later, bathtime, hair and nails done. They said it's a "girls' day, and their best day ever!" ❤️
