October. My favorite month.  Even when I lived in the Nevada desert I loved October.  It's when things started to cool down from the hot summers.  Now, even more than ever,  I love this season/month!  This year, I made an autumn wreath for our front door.  I am REALLY excited about decorating for fall.  Even two of our cats fit into the colors of fall.  There's been a lot of squirrel watching lately,  ...and bird watching,  when it's not nap time. ...and burning beeswax candles and incense  when it's damp and rainy outside.  Even though today was beautiful and sunny, you can just feel it in the air  that the colder, rainy weather is just around the corner.  I hear that November is the wettest month around these parts.  So, until then, I shall soak up the sun and play in the dirt  when I have t...

Hi Friends!   I've had the hardest time trying to find the "right" kind of  round rug for my craft room.   So, when I found a pattern on Pinterest,  for a crocheted one,  I had to try it!  (you can find the pattern on my Pinterest board...Crochet) I'm so happy with the way it turned out, and the size is just right. The night I finished it, I just threw it on the floor, and happened to  catch a shot on my iPhone of Lucy trying it out.  From the look on her face, I'd say she approves,  wouldn't you?

The last place we lived, my craft room was the guest room so...

Dear Friends,  Thank you for your comments and concerns about my "Fetzer boy."  It's so difficult when something seems wrong with your pet  and they can't tell you what's hurting.   The tests he had at the vet came back and everything was normal. We are grateful he's back to his ol' goofy self again!   Fetzer Other than that, I thought I'd give you a sneak peek at a new  piece I'm working on.  This pattern is called the  Apple Blossom Placemat. I've had it printed out for a while now, but I believe it was a  free pattern from  redheart.com I am using my favorite lace weight linen thread, and  I hope to use this as a center piece on my dining table.  Happy Sunday!  Becca
