Happy Halloween



Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween. I hope you're in good spirits and have by your side some yummy treats. The above pumpkin looks a little bit sad (the squirrels got to it and chewed on it before I got a chance to cut into it), but I still wanted to take a picture of it. Happy Halloween!

Half Apron

Is this a cute apron? I made it last night out of some fabrics I found in my stash. Since my cousin has been visiting me, she reintroduced me to aprons when we went antiquing. She purchased two cute aprons, in which neither had a utilitarian purpose, but both were quite cute to look at while worn.
Anyhow, upon coming home I searched through the internet and found a variety of designs and styles, in addition to several free patterns. I'll admit, I'm too cheap to I buy an apron and I have a lot of fabric that needs to be to turned into something useful. After perusing images of aprons on the internet, I came up with a simple apron and just "went with the flow." I didn't come up with a pattern, nor did I follow a pattern, but I had an idea of what I wanted and I just figured things out as I went along. My cousin thinks its a cute apron, and very girly. What do you think?

Wonderful Day

Today was such a beautiful and wonderful autumn day. There were fluffy white clouds in the piercing blue sky and leaves were aflame with color. It was much colder today than expected, due to the wind, but it was quite warm in the middle of the lake.
My mate and my brother were busy fishing, while my cousin and I chatted away. An egret or a crane (I'm not too sure) even walked at the edge of the lake, right on my property. It was so peaceful and I really didn't want the day to end.
