Bittersweet Autumn

Yesterday, I noticed that the trees around here are starting to turn colors. My first reaction is dread, because I know what happens after those leaves are gone, and it feels like we just got them! But then I remembered how much I love the fall and the Halloween anticipation! Fall really is my favorite season, though I can never silence that inner dread in my belly when I think about the coming winter. I'm trying to live for the moment for now!

So, I promised you that I would show pictures of my latest project but I have a surprise for you...I have TWO outfits to show you! Yes, I've been a busy bee this Labor Day weekend, trying to make sure the girls are stocked up on clothes for the fall and winter.

This first one is a comfy stretch knit cotton dress in Cranberry. There is still a little tweaking I need to do on it, but I have the overall pattern set up now. I'm honestly considering making one for myself!





This next one is almost exactly like the piece I blogged about the other day, but I think it looks better on an older girl than a toddler (my humble opinion, of course). She LOVES this outfit and is still wearing it at this very moment. She just thought that little kerchief headband is the coolest thing she'd ever seen.





And because she's funny when she's mad:


I'm going to warn you in advance - I'm completely bogged down with orders this week so it might be a bit before I get to my next blog! I'm going to *try* to get some of my own stuff squeezed through, though, so it won't hurt to check back!
