Just for fun

I made baby Malawi these little leg cuffs

 Crocheted with embroidery thread, and I included 3 whole pictures! because I know what you are really looking at are the chubby brown rolls ♥

More fall fun

Fall Fairy

 Imani has been making fairies at school out of leaves and flowers

Today she wanted a "fall fairy crown"

And she got it!

Someday

When we get a REAL house...

I will hang these side by side in my boys room........
Canvas and acrylics, and inspired by a little boy's joy in the changing seasons ~

Do you

Have a very favorite picture of your children?

                I do!   and a lovely sweet and talented family photographer to take them  ♥  and  you can too ~~~                                http://www.saykatieday.com/

I heart ♥ my brother.

                                     And he hearts ♥ me right back.....

Feeling fall

We have made a few things that feel like fall, I cut, and Imani painted some pretty leaves

Up they go!

Our nature table is in full fall glory

And this is:  "what fall looks like" by Imani

Are you feeling fall yet? ~

Apple cidering

Is what we decided to do on this beautiful warm first day of Fall....

We made about 2 gallons of this heavenly fresh juice, and every drop was worth the blisters on my fingers!

Red Gold and Green

For my little man.....

This is  a simple chain stich embroidery on the cuffs of an H&M black onesie ♥

Blossoms

I never dreamt                           
that tender blossoms
would be brown
Or precious angels
could come down
to live in the garden
of my giving heart
But here you are
brown angel

 -Walter Dean Myers-

60 fingers and toes

I only realize the magnitude and sheer number of having 3 little ones when I have to clip 60 little brown fingers and toes....

And I absolutely love it ♥

Beads for my girl

Imani has been asking me to make her a crochet bead necklace lately.....

These are little crochet balls stuffed with soft

                                                                                          Alpaca wool

 ..... inspired by the warm earth tones of  the changing leaves, and the deep blue of the fall skies~

What makes you happy?

Today it was this.....

And this.....

Mostaccioli with cubed butternut squash, garden leeks, mushrooms, butter, sage white wine and ricotta salata.

Yum

Golden days

Nothing feels and smells more like end of summer then a golden wheat field, freshly cut.....earth baked by the sun, slightly yeasty smelling, flies lazily buzzing

Cool mornings, bright sun, we could have played here forever ~~~~~
come fall!  we are ready for you
