Fits and Starts...

The crazy summer has drawn to a close - working overtime sewing up collars and leashes - outdoor fairs, festivals & farmer's markets - building an Etsy site for my little give-back, Waggsley Muttleston. It seems like summer went by in the blink of an eye!

In comes Fall - time for introspection, for looking around me, and for planning projects for the long north country winter. I've always loved the fall. The first few cold days when you take out your favorite wool sweater and feel the nip of the air on your cheeks. Heating up the kitchen, cooking soups and casseroles (and apple crisp)! The returning crackle of the wood stove on frosty mornings.

Here are some fall patterns that were hard to resist today. (...and of course, my new Blue Q Beaver lunch bag from our lovely little gift shop in Franconia, NH. Woven from 95% post-consumer material!)

Get out there and enjoy your autumn, wherever you are!

Something about the transition from live green leaves 

to red and dead leaves - the way they intermingle. 

It just says something about the season.
