Yet another new hobby to obsess about...

I finally got my birthday present from Brian on the weekend - a sewing machine! I've had the gift card for a while (as my b-day was in August) but finally cashed it in the other day. These are a couple pictures of my first sewing project. Okay, not my VERY first, but I the only other item that I have sewn was a crappy skirt in Home-Ec class, in grade 9 I think (a million years ago). Anyways, I'm pretty excited about it! Even if it is just a little make-up bag... or pencil case... I'm not sure what I'll use it for - maybe even a wallet? The patches are just iron-ons that I can't decide between... but I am leaning more towards the owl, I think. I stayed up WAY past my bedtime sewing it - I'm sure the first of many to come :D

Now I just need to make about 20 more of them before November 3rd to sell at my little craft show/open house. Eek!

It's been a while...

Oopsies! I didn't realize I had been away from blogland for as long as I have... time sure flies!
I've been working on a few new pieces which I really should add the shop, and am also planning my first annual Fall Open House!

I'm pretty excited about everything right now. I FREAKING LOVE this time of year - the cooler weather, the smoky scent in the air, pretty colours, pumpkin-spice everything, the sound walking through dried leaves on the sidewalk, searching for fallen acorns on the ground... yup, I love Autumn!
I made some yummy pumpkin-spice cupcakes with creamcheese icing over the weekend, but unfortunately my kitty licked off most of the icing overnight so we had to throw most of them out before I could take a picture of them (never mind eat them)! :(
Bad Josie! (But how could I stay mad at that adorable face?)
