Both of which will be or already are for sale in my etsy shop!! I have so many things i want to get made up for the christmas season, after all there are only 63 more days.....unbelieveable! I am also working on getting a better blogging schedule. :) I hope to add some tutorials! What would you like to see on here? More crafty ideas? More how to's? More foody posts? Project tutorials? I will be back later with a saturday night update!! Hope your night is beautiful and peaceful!! I have really been enjoying sitting in front of the woodstove in the evenings and sewing!!

Oh the amazingly lovely typewriter you see above is the one that my mother in law used when she was in school!

She didnt want it anymore, still works perfectly + it has a case= i love it!

Love this chilly weather!

9 years & fall fun

We spent saturday at a local place called Exploration Acres. It's a pumpkin patch, corn maze and fall fun place for all!! We celebrated our 9 year anniversay on Wednesday so besides going out for dinner we wanted to spend it in a maze of corn!! We had some of my siblings and their children join us!! Wow lots of fun was had by all!! Just see for yourself..

We all of course had hot cider, lemon shake up's, and kettle corn! Have you visited your favorite fall spot yet? Picked your pumpkins out? I hope everyone is enjoying the start of fall! I know i really am! More on the quilting front later on today...stay tuned!

Happy fall & happy quilting!

I am still lying in bed under what seems like mounds of blankets. It feels like fall here for sure!!! I am laying here trying to plan my day & well i am just too cozy to get out of bed!! I am however really wishing i had a hot mug of coffee or cider in here with me! ha! Did you wake up cool and cozy this morning?

Back later with a real post......pinky promise!

I am beyond happy about this new season. I get so super giddy & inspired when the weather starts turning cool! I guess because it means lots of beautiful changes are to come. The farmers are in the fields, the yard is turning a shade of brown, the trees are trying to change colors, so many festivals, corn maze & pumpkin patch trips, and the dinner menu has changed slightly too,(soups!) Not to mention my LOVE of a fall wardrobe! Aahhh...and the chill in the air! EEK! I could go on and on!!

I just had my first mug of spiced apple cider and it was way more magical than i remember it to be last year! Yum!! Do you like cider? What do you love about the "beginning" of fall? What is the weather like where you live?

I have set a goal for myself to blog more often (hoping everyday?) but we'll see! I have so much random stuff i want to share!! xox
