I'd like to open this post by showing you all one of my most favorite textile pieces in my collection that my friend made! This one reminds me of Autumn...Autumn is indeed fragile, the conditions have to be just so for her to be set in motion...the trees are many of colors here in my part of the world, the air is indeed equipped with a chill, and my home is full of the intoxicating smell of pumpkin spice via candles...
See what I mean about the turning trees? now it's visible! I love fall and that season is always welcome for an early visit!
I brought my maisons downstairs and set them nicely into my studio...
What a surprise these were, my grandma gave me a bunch of cake decorating supplies last year in the summer and just now opened the last box and found these doilies pinned onto Styrofoam "mock cakes" so I unpinned them and took them upstairs. I'm not so sure what to do with them yet, but I always come up with a solution!
These unfinished pillows will make their way into minxden sometime soon!
Did I mention that it was cold enough to wear socks around the house?? here are my knitted socks, the poor dears haven't been worn since March!
One of my most favorite parts of an art piece my friend made for me....
Remember the pom-pom garland I made? remember when I placed it on top of my parakeets' cage? yeah well one morning in the not so distant past, I was unpleasantly surprised by shreads of the pom poms all over inside their cage, especially the lime green one...the little buggers tore some apart! so now it hangs on my studio door, out of reach of critters who walk and fly alike!!!
UPDATE!! I have some very good news to share with you all, but I don't want to say it yet, something has to be finalized first! I am soooo excited!!!!! (and no, it's not a baby....I probably had some of you going there for a second, I know my aunt is an avid reader, she probably held her breath for a second! haha!) but I promise you, the news is great! happy weekend everyone!

I love fall too esp. because winter is right behind. I have a fire in the wood stove tonight. First fire of the cold times.
i love your stove susie! i think I would like one someday in my home!
Well our days are still in the upper 90's here in the desert, however out mornings are beautiful with a chill in the air. Our fall arrives later then most, it's my favroite season.
Is that a vintage sheet/pillowcase mobile I see in the photo with the tree? Whatever it is, I like it!
Hi Fallon!
yes you are correct! they are vintage scrap fabric garlands! they are everywhere in my home! and surprisingly, my cats dont even bother them! all 3 of my cats! they are good well behaved ladies! hehe I bet the desert weather is beautiful! I heard that the mornings and overnight hours are quite chilly and the temp drastically increases throughout the day! I have never been t the desert southwest, but would love to see it!
