What?!?!?

So, you can't jump up on the furniture . . .

or down from the furniture . . .

You're afraid of photos of other dogs . . .

But, suddenly you're the daredevil that climbs onto the end table------and can't get down again! And you don't learn---you continue to do it over and over again! Crazy dog!


The Great Pumpkin

Day 28 - While the green pumpkin I picked a month ago has turned a bright orange, the small pie pumpkins that I purchased a the beginning of October are a deeper shade. I think that the green stem provides such a nice contrast.

Leafy Love

Day 27 - Leaves are so interesting in whatever state they fall. Each is unique. Just like people, these two leaves are complete opposites in many ways--their size, one has fallen on its back and the other on its front. The smaller one even seems to be further along in the journey of changing colors. Yet they have so much in common---their general shape is similar, the veins in which they receive nourishment are clearly etched and let's face it---they have both fallen.

Open Hearts, Open Minds

Day 26 - Contemplating what I need to leave "open" led me to this photo--something that I need to use more often, to study and consider as I make decisions.

Sewing Room Inspiration

I've always dreamed of having my own sewing room---a space that is neat, pretty and inspires creativity. Instead, my sewing machine has been crammed into a tiny space between the laundry room and computer room that mostly serves as a junk room. I clean it and try to organize it fairly regularly, but the furnishings are of the "early attic" variety and aren't really designed for the space at all. But, lately I've been gathering images of inspirational spaces that I might be able to adapt to fit my needs.

I'd love to have a corner desk like this that would accommodate both my sewing machine and my serger.




This desk is beautiful! I love the soft colors and the inspiration board on the wall.


Something like these Expedit shelves would be perfect for storing all the books and fabric.


And this little room is perfect---from the drawers beneath the desktop to the oilcloth covered surface on top!

Stayed tuned----the cleaning and re-organization are about to begin!

Fall Colors

Day 25 - Before my camera battery died at Don's house, I was able to snap a few pictures outdoors. The oak leaf hydrangeas were beautiful even in their dried, brown state.

P. S. I even managed to capture that ever elusive bokeh!

Rhythm of Repetition

Day 23 - After a LONG drive over from Shreveport yesterday, we arrived at Don's house in Atlanta late last night. The stormy weather gave way to cooler temperatures and a beautiful day here in Atlanta. Their stepping stones remind me of a Thanksgiving many years ago and adventures involving cousins, a broken leg and a backyard fort.
