....I had the greatest feeling of my life.
You don't think anything can top getting married to the love of your life. Then you have babies.....
And you don't think anything can beat that feeling either.
But when you realize that your children really and truly love each other......
I....
...am so overwhelmed by these vintage bias tapes that I got from Janis in the mail today. (Along with tons of other wonderful goodies...I'll share later. Thank you Janis! How can I top this?)
... really need to do the things on this list.
... love this tutorial.
... wish I could fit into this. (Kids get the best clothes.)
... knew I wasn't crazy! It really is different in the fall. (Thank you, Donna!)
... love, love this amazing video. (I love when they all walk away. So sad about the director. Rest in peace dear lady.)
... crack up every time I see this.
... just bought some of this and can't wait to make something with it.
... am super dee duper jealous that my mother is here right now.
... really, really, really, REALLY want to participate in this. (But alas, time is not on my side)
... need to dust off my needles so that I can make one of these. (*swoons* Looks so cozy.)
... feel so natsukashii when I see photos like this (reminds me of my school days), this, this (our old subway stop), and this (reminds me of my mom's old house). Time for a visit perhaps?
... wish there were more hours in the day to enjoy more randomness. *sigh*
Hello! I sort of disappeared again. Oops! I'm guessing I needed a little more time away than I though. I've been having an Equinox of my own. So, I'm back. Really. Seriously. *gets down on knees* Please believe me!! :P
Well it's Autumn! My most favorite time of year! *sighs* Oh, how I love it. The crisp air, the amazing colors, the baking, the spices, the apple picking, the sweaters, the holidays, the changes, all the lovely, wonderful, delightful changes!
I can't wait for the leaves to change and I think that's what I love most about this time of year. For some reason, Manhattan seems like it's the last place in New York to see the changes in the leaves. I always end up driving upstate to get my fall foliage fix because I just can't wait!
This is the small speckle of color that is in the trees of our apartment complex. This one tree is always ahead of the rest. It will be a bright and stunning shade of red in a few weeks and the rest of the trees will catch up near the end of November. Quelle dommage! Why do I have to wait so long? *sobs* K, I'm over it now.
Now, everyone always talks about the lovely colors of the Autumn trees. But what I'm most drawn to is the sky. I know it's the same sky we see everyday and it's probably the same blue that it is in the Winter, Spring, and Summer. But to me, the blue sky on a crisp Autumn morning is the most beautiful shade of blue in the world to me. There are hardly ever any clouds in the sky and I'm convinced the shade of blue is strikingly different this time of year. Am I just being a sentimental Fall nut job? Maybe. But you can't convince me otherwise! *folds arms and turns head away defiantly*
My husband thinks I'm crazy. But you should take a moment and look at the sky. I bet you'll be in the "Yes, it is a different shade of blue and leave me alone you big meanie you can't change my mind" group too!
Which brings me to these fabrics. I've been trying to capture that blue in one of my projects. This is actually one of the color combinations that will be featured in my book. (SHHHHHH! Don't tell my Editor! You're gonna get me in trouble!!!! ^_^) All the colors and projects have been selected. Several months ago in fact, and I've just been busy plugging away trying to get my projects done in time. 25 of them in fact, due in December. Worst time of year to be working on a book. I'm not biting my nails yet, though. But I can guarantee you I will be by the middle of November. So look out for frantic and completely hysterical posts around that time. Aargh! There is so much that I want to share with you about what I'm doing, but I can't! Eeeeeeeee! I'm bursting!
*edited* Huge thank you to all of you who bid on my calendar! And also to Donita! She won! $100 smackers! Woah mama! ^_^ And thank you to Kim for hosting the auction! You all rock!
Hey there....I'm back. *sigh* I really needed that away time. But I missed blogging and I missed all my blog pals. So here I am! Did you miss me? ^_^
I can't believe Summer is over. Did you have a good Summer? I really didn't get to enjoy it as much as I would have liked. It's been a really busy season for our household. There were projects to be finished, websites to be built, books to be written, toys to be played with, bikes to be ridden, etc., etc., etc. As much as I do love this season I am quite ready for Fall. My favorite time of year. I love the sun, but I just can't stand being sweaty. Ick. I'm all about the Fall baby! Baking, apple picking, knitting, hot cocoa, warm fuzzy sweaters. Loves it.
Well enough about me for the moment. On a more somber note. I'm sure you've all heard
about the awful accident that happened to Stephanie and her husband.
I'm saddened that the first time I visited her blog was because of this
tragic event. I was really moved by their story and I decided to donate
one of my calendars to an auction to aid in their recovery.
It will be hosted by Kim at Today's Creative Blog. I'm not sure
which day she will post my calendar. I'll be sure to update you if I find out. *edited* The auction has started! If you're interested, head on
over to her site. and keep your eyes peeled for it.
*edited* Huge thank you to all of you who bid on my calendar! And also to Donita! She won! $100 smackers! Woah mama! ^_^ And thank you to Kim for hosting the auction! You all rock!
There will be lots of other goodies to be had as well. It's for a good cause, please help out if you feel so inclined.
So, I'll be back to posting regularly shortly....woot! I just have to get my rhythm back. I feel so out of bloggy, photo taking practice. How's the saying go? 'Use it or lose it!' Or does that just pertain to your flexible spending account? *shrugs*
