And so we begin...

Hello, fall!  And hello to all of you, whoever may be reading.  Are you having the same crisp autumn air we're getting here in New England?  We had a big stretch of cooler temps, and today, it's in the high seventies.  I do love this last little bit of warmth we seem to get every year right before my birthday.  It's like holding on to those last pieces of summer as we get ready to drink apple cider, bake pumpkin spice bread, put out our Halloween decorations, and buy candy for trick or treating.

Really, is there a better season than one that includes pumpkins, candy, and getting to dress up?  I don't think so.

Today I was inspired but all these lovely autumnal thoughts, and decided to get cracking on my new line of heating pads.


I cut my fabric, and then remembered the thing I dislike most about sewing.  Ironing!  Bleh.  Regardless, I got that all squared away and got about halfway through my sewing before my happy eight month old decided the cord to my sewing machine looked super interesting.  Fortunately, mama is too fast for him.  I had him off the floor and that unplugged before he could get his teeny, adorable little hands on it.

So this is the pace we go at now.  Halfway.  Maybe tomorrow, I'll get to finish it, and then I'll reveal to you all what my first new scent is!  Hmm......what do you think?
