Field Trip

On Thursday we took the girls to visit some baby goats at a friends house.

  

Thank you friends for letting us visit with these adorable babies!

First Snow

It's been a lovely morning thus far. First there was this:

I know, it's not much. And it only stuck to the roof and walkways. But it's still snow! I can't remember the last time we had it this early in the year.

Then there was this:

Lark Rise to Candleford season 4! Since Masterpiece released it's extremely disappointing Classic season list (half of what their showing are reruns!) it's nice to have something to look forward to.

Then I found this:

I want this so bad it hurts. really. bad. And looking at the price (almost $300 per box!) makes me want to cry. So I'll just look at the picture and try to ignore the price tag.

On another note, I have a folder on desktop labeled "Christmas Gifts 2010" with pictures of everything I've made and bought so far just waiting to be revealed come January. I'm working on two gifts right now (one sewn and one knitted) after I finish those there are just three more to make and then I am done! Done, done, done!

(My brother insists that smiley faces need noses. What do you think?)

North Carolina State Fair

I think...

It's finally Autumn. The leaves are turning colors and falling from the trees. The air is cooler and the out-of-doors is so pleasant!

And to top it all off my Elizabeth Swann 18th century chemise is coming along quite nicely.

"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."

-Genesis 8:22 (KJV)

And don't forget the giveaway! You have until tonight to enter!
