to frame this to look at when i'm exhuasted..lol....
and to have this exact outfit.
oh ladies...the weather here is atrocious right now. the rain is killing me and it's only just begun. yes, fall is amazing and i LOVE it but when you throw the monsoon like rains (i'm not exaggerating) in i can easily forget about the gorgeous leaves, knitwear and hot coffee. it makes me want to hole up inside and snuggle up under my quilt. it's yucky. hopefully the rains will die down a bit after a few weeks of this madness. we're crossing our fingers. believe me i can deal with rain, after having grown up in one of the rainiest towns and living for years in the rainiest city i can handle it, but i just can't like it.
the rains have also been interrupting the release of a new knitting pattern of mine. i need to do the photo shoot and the weather is just not cooperating. it's torturing me...lol! i'm so excited to show it to you guys so hopefully soon i'll get a nice weather day and can get the pics done. i think it's a super fun project that would make a great xmas gift!
i was also super excited yesterday when my first order from joanns (woot woot) arrived and i got a nice big box of batting for 50% off!!! thank you joanns for finally shipping to canada (the shipping rates are not bad at all!) - it's about time! so this weekend i will be busy quilting a new fave quilt that i will be sharing a free tutorial with you all for! yay! the sandwich is done and now it's quilting time!!! yay! my fave part! i can't wait to show you all!
my folks and omi have been here visiting for the last few weeks and it's been amazing to have them around. they leave after this weekend and i have to admit i will be a mess. it's going to be so strange not having them here anymore and we will all miss them and my omi horribly. i will prolly need some virtual hugs and some online consoling....wahhh!!! makes me teary eyed just thinking about it already.
so this weekend i will be spending as much time as possible with them, working on my quilt, knitting up a storm (2 new designs in the works) and cuddling up nice & warm with my little fam. wishing you all chocolate goodies, steaming coffee, sunshine filled fall days, warm mittens and lots of hugs kind of weekend.
what are you up to? what kind of fall weather are you dealing with? do you fall apart when your family leaves after visiting? what crafty projects are you up to this weekend? come...pull up a chair....the coffees brewing and i've got a cute mug with your name on it!
