Fall is Coming

 The geese love the field behind our house,
and every year when fall gets closer
they come en masse.

 And my girl found the first fall leaf, 
although it wasn't from one of our trees.

Autumn officially starts next Monday,
bye for now!

What's New

 What's new around here?
Well, I finally got to make a new cover
for my ironing board.
It's so nice having a sewing machine again!
I had thrifted some great quilted calico fabric
and I think it worked perfectly as a cover!

And here is a jumble of yarn 
hanging over the edge.
I thought they looked too pretty not to take a pic!

Falling for Deer

 Are you looking for an accessory
to go with that fall jacket or sweater?
Check out the cute deer pins that are back in my shop!


I tried them out on my vintage 70s dress,
and I loved it!
Hope you will check them out!

Mid Century Mod Linen


I realized the other day, 
that I have never really taken any good pix
of a lovely vintage linen wall hanging
that I found at the thrift some time ago.
It's such I beauty I had to share!
 

There is a signature at the bottom,
but I don't know what it says,
does anyone have any ideas?
Bye for now!

A Hint of Fall

 Well we have had a hint of fall this week, 
but just as I was about to pull on the tights
it warmed up quite a bit.
So, I wore my dress I made last spring 
with sandals instead.
Dress and necklace: made by me
Daisy pin: vintage
Tee: Target
My girl is wearing her tee 
she got this summer in 
Custer, South Dakota.

Nature Break

 I almost forgot to post these cool pix
of a hawk that I took a couple of weeks ago.
He was on our neighbors roof.
I see them fly over the farm field next door all the time,
but I've never seen this before!


 And, just in case you missed seeing bunny photos,
here you go!

Bye for now!

New Sewing Machine!


Well, the sewing drought is finally over!
I have a new (at least to me) sewing machine!
I found it on Craigslist, and it's actually 14 years old, 
but I decided that if might actually last longer
than the last one, because of that.
In other words, it might be made better! 
Plus, it doesn't have any computer parts,
which is what caused the last one to die.
I don't need a computer on my sewing machine,
thank you very much.
I haven't sewn any clothes yet, 
as I've been too busy catching up on mending
that I couldn't do before.
But I will start a clothing project soon, 
probably for fall!
 
I spruced her up a bit with some washi tape and stickers.
Oh, and I'm thinking of giving her a name,
any ideas?
Bye for now!

Sketches of the Week

Still in a Christmas and winter mood with my art, and still working on my technique with gouache. It's a much trickier medium than I ...
