My Favorite Time of Year!

I love fall! Obviously, southern Louisiana doesn't get to experience it like other parts of the country, but the idea of cooler, drier air, falling leaves - golds, reds, brown - baking, festivals, scarves, cozy feelings....I could go on and on.

This year, all the holidays mean more to me than they have in a very long time. I'm thinking ahead to making our daughter's Halloween and Mardi Gras costumes, festivals we can take her to, family trips we can take, what her interests will be, and more. Of course, I wonder if she'll like art.

Her nursery will share the room with my studio. My office is going away for now. I want to be sewing things for her so badly, but it seems the sewing machine needs some TLC, possibly in the way of a new belt. This afternoon, I'll attempt figuring things out underneath the carriage.

The idea of starting a mommy blog keeps crossing my mind. Sewing and writing are where my creative interests lie these days. They seem cozy, too, just like the season. These next few months will be quite busy, though, so I'll let a greater force guide me in what I'm supposed to be doing with my time.
