More walking in fall and signs of Halloween everywhere!
I loved seeing this corn growing in someones front yard right near the sidewalk!
I like that bumpy one in front center.
Happy Halloween Tomorrow!
This bit of color is on a tree around the corner from my office. We don't have forests of color the way you do in the eastern states, but maybe that makes the little bits all the more appreciated.
I've parked by these leaves every day this week and kept reminding myself to bring my camera to work so I could show them to you...today I remembered...
And then there was this lone red leaf laying on the huge branch of this tree as I started my noontime walk today. Sweet?
Happy Fall!
And then I got my mail today!!!!!
This small folded up square pocket unfolds to let the bag out!
See how perfect her seams are...and the lining.
And this clever label tag hangs from it!
And it has an outside pocket, into which the larger bags folds up into to store

Feel free to copy out the second picture and color it yourself!

This next one is the work of my GS with no explanations...
And this was a collaborative effort of the three of us. GS cut out the pieces, GD glued them on the larger piece of paper and I doodled on top of the pieces. Wa-la! A collage is born!
And then we carved pumpkins and picked apples with three other young families from their neighborhood; all toll we were seven children and seven adults.
[ The computer is not posting true colors here. The part that looks orange is really yellow/gold.]
So today I did.

I heard from Sam. The Hawaiian shirt and collar place mats arrived. Sam said she loved them, it was a mixed bag emotionally, which I knew would be the case, happy memories mixed in with sadness. But she was very appreciative of my art work and endeavors. I'm glad she liked them.

I found the orange felt for the bags, the fall ribbon, and the white mesh fabric at the thrift store today...the black ribbon was from another quilt project, as is the fabric used for the pumpkins...fabric I used on my very very first quilt made in class 15 months ago! And the green stems are from their frog's feet from those costumes I made last year at Halloween!
These dolls were 75 cents each. Aren't they cute?
The third and forth bags will be for the kids next door. They will get the skeleton and the witch.

We met this gentleman in a gift shop in Wyoming this past summer. I asked his permission to snap his photo and told him I might blog it. He was fine with that. I felt it was a wonderful statement of someone who had been waiting a long time for The Dream to come true! ;-) (Me too!)

Rebecca, from the blog The Difference A Year Makes, had a give-away and I entered and won this book! I used to read Shape Magazine years ago. The book looks great. I especially like that it has a lot of yoga poses with explanations of how to do them, as I'd like to add yoga to my current exercise routines. It's also full of very yummy looking healthy recipes. Thank you Rebecca, this is a very generous gift and I will use it. I do appreciate your generosity.
This started out to be a scarf...now I sort of like it right where it is as a wall hanging...or I may continue, what do you think?
Love those dropped stitches.
And here is the finished poncho I knit with ribbon yarn for my little grand daughter. All done in dropped stitches and knit stitches. Very easy. Very cute don't you think?
I'm really enjoying doing these drawings. It excites me to see what does come out of my pen and it is fun to do.
I have a soft spot in my heart for dolls and these soft dolls especially. Two have been sitting here for some time...the newest, Madeline on the left I found at the thrift store last weekend for $1.50, like new too. Little grand daughter will find them when she visits next. She likes to play with my dolls. These are sitting on a chair that I grew up with in my parents home. My mom needle pointed the seat. 
I skipped drawing yesterday...so here is a quickie done this morning while waiting for the dentist office to open and hopefully call and get an appointment.
If I have enough yarn left over I'll make my daughter, her mom, a matching scarf. This drop stitch looks really good on scarves! ;-)
Same drawing but back of purse shown here.
Today after finding some cute tea towels at an estate sale I came home and made this second bag (16" long). the zipper has yet to behave on this one, so I might add Velcro circles (Mims' suggestion) or snaps. But it's cute and could hold a lot of art supplies, you think?
This is part of the bottom of the bag.
