Fall

Autumn or Fall as we Okies tend to say is really upon us. The weather has gone from 70 degrees to 30 degrees overnight as the cold front comes in. Thankfully this kind of weather gives us some beautiful Fall color. Here is a photo of our back yard.

Fall

Aren’t they glorious. This is the view first thing in the morning as we get coffee and breakfast. Especially since we have the curtains shortened to keep the puppy from chewing on them.  I had the good fortune of being in a craft fair last week and while it was fun I am reminded why I do them so infrequently. They sure take a bunch of work. Here is a photo of my booth and I know it needs improving. Fall

I only had two days notice to participate in this one so I worked on my cup sleeve and boot cuff presentation and they sold much better. Fall

Here you can see my final choice amidst the chaos of creativity! Fall

Complete with my quick sketch of a boot with a boot cuff! I feel pretty good about these.  It did seem to take all day long to get them just right! It was a great craft fair. I got to talk to some wonderful people and spend time with my Mom. My cousin stopped by  and we visited for awhile. Fall is such a family time of year. It seems that I see more family during the next two seasons than I do the rest of the year. I imagine that this is why I love Fall.

Talk to you later,
