Shy, Shy Sun

Day four of waking up to a dark and cloudy morning. Geez, enough already! It looks like the sun may come out today. Please, sun won’t you peek out from behind the clouds today?

I don’t know about you, but these cloudy days start to pile up on me and leave me feeling tired and drained. I had a difficult time getting any sewing done yesterday; all I wanted to do is sit in front of the fire and knit, knit, knit. Today I have to do better.

I thought that looking at sunny photos might help.

If you’re stuck in the clouds like we are, did that help? I think it helped me. Now, to push myself out of this chair, feed the pups, and get moving. And, I see some clearing in the sky. Yay!!!

Hope you have a sunny day today!

Thanks for reading! Bye for now!

Another Weekend Here and Gone

How did your weekend go? Mine flew by.

Yesterday afternoon I drove the short distance to the nearest forest preserve. I wanted to see how fall was progressing in nature (and get some exercise). As you can see from my photos things are still pretty green. I wanted to photograph the wild dark purple asters and lavender monarda, but the battery on my phone died before I could capture those.

I captured some white asters.

And milkweed…

This is all forest preserve land.

Sometimes trees become natural art sculptures; I always like to capture those.

In my studio, I knit another Santa hat, started embroidering Pukipuki’s Christmas dress, finished up a fun ensemble for Gina, and Millie picked out her Christmas dress fabric.

Hope you all have a perfect week!

Thanks for reading! Bye for now.

Hang Onto Your Hat!

I don’t like hats on myself, never have and probably never will. I think from the moment I could take them off of myself, I probably did. The only way that I would cover my head and ears in the coldest weather was with a hood on my coat, so my mom made sure that all of my coats had hoods. Luckily, my dolls will wear whatever I put on them, and they look adorable in hats, I think.

These are my all-time favorite fall/winter hats that I’ve made for my dolls. Sorry, some of them you probably saw yesterday.
