Getting Started....

Today seems like a good day to get started on fall
decorating.  The day has a feeling of fall to it.  There
is a slight breeze and I can hear the rustling of the leaves
through my open windows and patio door.

Can't believe how long it takes to put all the summer
and patriotic items away, then dig out the fall boxes,
dust, clean, etc.  Am feeling a little frustrated as I
can't find my box with fall garlands and leaves in.
Reorganized everything this spring and thought
the fall stuff was all together....hmmmm! 

Anyway, thought I'd share a few pictures.  Mind you
everything is not finished, but I want to add these
pictures to some I am getting developed for a
book I'm doing.

This leaf wall hanging was made over 20 years
ago with my mother and sister.  And although it
is showing its age, there are too many memories
associated with it to part with it.


















Here are a few things I've stitched over the years.  You
may recognize this pumpkin stitchery from
http://www.crabapplehillstudio.com























As you can tell, I love to stitch!













These next two came from magazines, but I don't
recall which ones.
















And finally this last one was from a class at my
local quilt shop.

















Now to find my autumn leaves and garlands to
add and I think I'll be ready for fall.

Just a reminder to check out my giveaway.
Even if you're not in to scrapbooking and have
never given a thought to digital scrapbooking,
you might find it enjoyable.  And the best
thing is that it's FREE!  So why not enter today.
Giveaway ends Tuesday, Sept. 13.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
