Happy October!

Now that it's October, the kiddos can officially wear the brand-spankin'-new Halloween shirts I embroidered for them:

I am so excited that it's Autumn! And that the weather finally feels like Fall. Finally. I decorated the house for Halloween today while my older son was at preschool, and the look on his face when he got home and saw the house was priceless. I remember how exciting it was when I was a little girl to return home from school to find that my mother had put Halloween decorations up in the windows. Does anyone remember those old-school paper cutouts? Do they even make those anymore?? Everything today is plastic. Which holds up better, but it's just not the same. Oh, 1980's, how I miss you!! :)

Anywho...

I hope this first day of my favorite month is treating you well! I will back soon with lots of cool stuff to share...I have been working hard on a swap with my friend Amanda (who doesn't write a blog, but totally should so she can show off her mad stitching skills, don'tcha agree??), and I can't wait to show you pics! Until then...

Happy Stitching!
