Autumn 2012

Can you believe that October is almost over?  It is supposed to get up to 80 degrees later this week.  Where is the fall weather?  I guess the weather will go from summer to winter in a matter of days.

The leaves are beautiful here on the east coast.  If I were to design fabric, I would have all of the colors of the trees in it.  Actually, I would have four separate distinct fabrics.  One of the fall colors.  One of the spring colors - all of different shades of the new leaves.  One of the spring flowers in all of the different vibrant shades of the first blooms.  And one with all of the different shades of mature leaves.  Have you every just sat and looked at the different colors?  Amazing!

I have started to knit!  It really came back quickly.  I can now knit on the bus, even in the darkness of the morning!

December first is the largest local craft fair.  It is down at the Navy base.  I have participated for 3 years now.  The first year I sold a lot, so last year I expanded my inventory (and worked pretty darned hard too).  I sold nothing last year, which was very disappointing.  This year, I have everything from last year and more that I have been working on though out the year.  I hope sales improve this year, although the economy has not improved any.
