autumn light

autumn sunriseautumn sunrise cloudssun through curtainsbuddha shadowautumn sunsetthe light is changing, signaling changing of the seasons. i get a melancholy feeling when the sun sets so much earlier now than summer. geese frequently fly over head and a part of me tugs to fly away with them. suddenly i'm asking "who wants hot chocolate? :) hope you're sailing smoothly into autumn as october is just hours away.

happy birthday virgos!

hey there. sorry i've been posting so sporadically lately. just been busy doin' rather than writin'. this past week was my mom's and rob's birthdays...2 days apart! i made vegan carrot cake for rob from a moosewood recipe, substituting vegan butter for cow butter. carrot cake spices are just perfect for this time of year. though these tie dyed cupcakes would be pretty awesome too! via glutenfreebaking.com.
in other news: just finished up special orders, sent orders to shops, and knee deep working on new fall creations! the plan is to have a bear/spooky monkey update by end of this month. can i do it?? best be getting back to sewing! have a fabulous weekend :)
