October!?

October, I almost can't believe it. The photo of the tree out front of our house was taken just the other day, now it's completely orange and lost many more leaves. There's so many projects happening here, renovations, room changes, a wood stove being installed, a chicken run going in to contain our chickens who have become a little to comfortable in their yard, on the road, up the road, visiting the neighbors chickens and inviting them back to roll and dig in front of our house.

And the crafting that needs to be done. I made these bunting flags yesterday. What a fun project and a great way to use up some fabric. This set reverses to Halloween flags, love it! I started on some ornaments that I'll be adding to my shop soon. There's Thanksgiving at our house, birthdays to plan and craft for, Christmas gifts to make (many).
I think my next post will help me organize my holiday crafting.

Shining again

It's so nice to feel the sun again.

Smitten with Chickens

Back in September we ordered some sweet little chicks, they've grown! They've been producing eggs for several weeks now. The chickens spend most of their days foraging in the yard. Little Rowan is smitten with the chickens and often looks out the window saying 'pauck, pauck'.

My Saturday Market skirt! I was so happy to stumble across this pattern http://portabellopixie.typepad.com/portabellopixie/2010/03/sewing-bits-and-pieces-.html my brain went to thinking of all the fabrics I could use. I thought it would take forever to finish it but it wasn't too bad at all. Now I just hope it warms up a bit so I can wear it!

I haven't blogged in months, there's too much to catch up on; life is busy!!! I'll update with a few pictures....


A growing baby~ Rowan is 6.5 months now and she's an insanely busy baby, I can't even imagine how get a single thing done once she's crawling!

Chickens~ We got 5 chicks at the beginning of September, they'll bring us plenty of eggs in a few more months. This picture was of the little cuties the day we got them, now they're about 4 weeks old and they look more like some strange type of prehistoric dinosaurs...not cute anymore! Back to school & back to work. I did some sewing over the summer but now I'm getting back into some custom work. This was a fun order-
