Tuesday Tell All

Can you feel it? Fall is in the air. What do like about fall and the changing seasons? Is there something you don't like about it?


Autumn is definitely my favorite season (well, okay I like spring too) because it has that feel of change in the air, of snow to come and warm nights with fire crackling. It means sweaters, sweatshirts, boots and coats.

It means pulling out the clothes you haven't worn in a while and closeting the ones your getting sick of.

It's cuddling in bed and enjoying the warmth of newly dried clothes and pulling out all the throws and quilts

It's a steaming hot shower then racing to get dressed (lest the cold overcome you).

It's sniffles and scarves and frost on the windows. But the sun still shines and the afternoons are still warm (ish). It's Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday) and Halloween (I get so sick of pumpkin smasher's).

It's oven baked goodies and thick soups and stews.

It's raking leaves of amazing colors! All around you orange and red, yellow and brown. In Arizona we didn't experience fall as drastically as up north and I really missed that. Now I can enjoy every moment of it. Until the snow starts to fall and the world goes to sleep and we wait.

Yes, I think fall is my favorite season.

I love it because there is an unexplained magic in the air. You can't help but feel happy when you get a whiff of it.

I like the feeling of change that comes with fall. Expectation, that's what i like. I like it for about 2-3 weeks during the end of August and the beginning of September. Then fall sets in more and i see leaves start to turn. I don't like leaves turning. It means freezing temps that will last for a long time. There is so much more beauty in spring. It doesn't last long enough.

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

Image
The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Image
Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
