We have officially moved into the “Christmas season” at our house but I had one more Autumn/Thanksgiving project to make this weekend. The current challenge on the Frilly and Funky blog is a Bountiful Harvest. The challenge is generously sponsored by the Funkie Junkie Boutique. To be honest, I was really pushing it this holiday week with all of the baking for Thanksgiving and then decking the house and my office with Christmas trees and garland. I think I will be wearing glitter for the next month after putting up 20+ garlands and 10+ trees. So it was a bit of a relief to work with some of the rich hues of autumn for this project. […]
READ MOREHello! I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday! We had a lovely dinner with friends, I tried out new recipes, and my house is now all decked out for Christmas.

READ MOREHello! As we head into the Thanksgiving weekend our house smells of apple pie! I’ve been baking and making pastry for the last couple of days. I have a couple more pies to make for family friends and one for my beloved and then I turn the kitchen over to him so he can start making the savory dishes. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. […]

Hello! Autumn has finally arrived here – we think! Traditionally Halloween is cold and the weather is a bit dicey but this year it was warm and windy. However, the wind brought in a cold front and so we may actually start having days that are not in the high 70’s. Over this past weekend I treated myself to an art weekend with some friends. We had a lovely park-like setting where we were, wonderful food, great weather, and lots of fun. We were visited by deer, wild turkeys, and big horn sheep throughout the weekend as they wandered down to the conference center where we were. So, while I was there I decided to make an autumn project since it was time to pack away the Halloween stuff. So, I decided to make a fall window. I think my finished project works for the current challenge on the Anything But Cute challenge #18 – An Autumn Day. […]
