September...

 

 

...has been unlike any other so far with the children not being back at school due to a province-wide teachers' strike and the weather continuing to be hot and dry as it's been all summer long... Needless to say, we've been (not so unhappily) stuck in summer mode, making trips to our lake cottage to swim in the lake and, in my case, to tend to a garden that's been very thirsty due to the lack of rain. So, with all this ongoing summer outdoor fun, I haven't been spending too much time with my fabric nor yarn yet. In fact, one of the only things I've done back in the city so far is tidy up my work area which I always seem to leave in a mess when I leave for the summer; while doing so, I rediscovered my yummy stash of heavier weight vintage fabrics (which you can see in the photos) and I've come up with an idea of how to use some of it in a fall/winter patchwork idea which I hope to show you soon...

However, our protracted summer does seem to be finally drawing to a close as we've had rain and cooler temperatures as of yesterday and the teachers have voted to accept the government's latest offer last night which means school will start back this coming Monday. So, while it's all been a lot of fun, I do feel ready and rather excited to start up on some of my ongoing projects and ideas; first up, will be to take photos of all my new bedding which I hope to share with you at some point next week; I will also start listing some of these new items in my Etsy shop, also next week... I must say that I can't wait to get back into it as I'm definitely starting to feel that delicious urge for crafting which is always so special to the fall season! (Are you feeling it is as well?) So, I do hope you will pop by again next week to take a peek and thank you so much for your visit today!
