Ella's sweater

In the hours I have free while seeking a full-time job, I decided it was time to relearn how to knit. My mother taught me when I was 12, but I haven't done it since. After I said I wasn't going to make sweaters or any kind of clothing, here's what I did first...

A kimono style sweater for Ella. Not a very little girlish color, but it is what my sister-in-law likes.

A very basic stitch, but I'm on my way and do enjoy it very much. This little one took me two weeks. 

Going to try a very open scribble stitch scarf next. So much for no clothing. Want to make some market bags soon. 

More of How We "Do" Fall

My mother's little fall touches at her house. She laughs at herself, so its okay if we do a little, too. Over the years picking up a cute pillow or pumpkin here and there adds up! And this is nothing compared to Christmas.

:) And today she was working hard transplanting things she wants to take inside for the winter.

One more...I don't usually stick things to my car, but I was given this and...so I did this time.

Now I have messages to put away. 

Around the house

It's been warm the past few days, but some cooler weather is blowing in this afternoon. Dramatic skies.

My back patio has an autumn look now, too.

Indoors there are a few autumn decs...

The signs of changing season elsewhere in the house are not so nice. Small piles of summer clothing, shoes waiting to be put away and winter clothes making an appearance. This warm cool warm cool time of year makes for even less organization than usual.
