A little fall color..


This tree is always just gorgeous...it is just down the street from us.  Usually it is a more brilliant red if you can believe that.  Just different.  I had such a hard time trying to get to photograph it.  Every time you try to stop to snap a photo, does someone appear in your rear view mirror?  I don't know how many times I tried to stop and always someone coming.  And this is not a busy town.  However, I did manage a couple.

Autumn was not long enough for me.  It never is.  We did not get out on any fall rambles, but we did see some beautiful trees just in our normal travels.

I was messing around yesterday at youtube and ran across a different version of the song I shared the other day...Laredo by Band of Horses. I hope you enjoy it even half as much as I do...

A couple more items...


 I made this for Lorelei....it was made from fabric leftover from this:


Lorelei loves sloths so I got fabric to make her this pillowcase....


I finally finished this...all it needed was the binding but it sat for years waiting to be finished.  So I finally finished it a few weeks ago.

Here is the Bubbie...


and just one more...


Is he quite the handsome boy?

Daughters' projects...

First I am showing you pillowcases that Lorelei's mom and I made...she chose the fabrics and brought them a couple weekends ago and we worked on them....
















I think the second from the bottom is my favorite, but it is hard to choose between it and the second one from the top.

Then my older daughter is working on the quilt below...she designed the top...the fabrics are Tula Pink's Delaluna fabric line...not the black, and maybe one other that is not from that line of fabrics.


She comes here to do the quilting.  It is for a Christmas gift.  There is quite a bit of quilting left to do.  I made the binding for her yesterday...When she gets the quilting done I will put the binding on for her...she has to be gone for a week for work, so that will be taking up some of her weekends.
