Fall

So the official first day of fall is this Wednesday. It has been feeling like fall, which is OK with me. The leaves are starting to turn and it is so pretty! The Fryeburg fair is in a couple of weeks. I can't wait! One of my favorite parts is checking out to fiber barn. The center table is filled it wool! I haven't worked with wool yet, just haven't bought any yet. I also want to try felting.
I finished my cute cupcake apron, and made some yummy red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I brought some to work, and they went over very well. Yay!
I nearly have my sister's Christmas gift done.
I finally got a picture of me in the dress I made, it doesn't look so weird on me as it does on the hanger.

Now I am off to find some hot apple cider! Oh and go to work.
Have some fun today!

September to do

So I have my list for September. Nothing super exciting just things I need/want to do.

1. Find a winter job- My normal job is coming to a close for the season, and I know my boss would try to    keep me on as long as possible. Right now I am getting 28 hours a week, and that is a bit tough, and after next week I lose another 7hours. I know this is how it goes in this industry. I am hoping to eventually find a place I can reliably go back to in the winter.
2. Bake red velvet cupcakes- I love cupcakes, and these are ones I haven't made yet. Also will make my own cream cheese frosting. I have to say my all time favorite cupcakes are lemon.
3. Bake pumpkin spice muffins- made them last year, I love them. It is time again to make some more!
4. Start a travel scrapbook- I haven't done any scrapbooking in a while. David and I don't take any huge road trips, but we still manage to find some interesting places. I really want to start documenting the adventures. 
5. I want to crochet my own mittens- Sounds easy enough, but I haven't made them yet. I will coming up on my first crochet anniversary, I taught myself to crochet at the end of September last year. 
6. Stop putting it off and finish my sister's Christmas gift- I like to start early on making/buying Christmas gifts. I have been working slowly on my sister's gift, getting distracted doing other projects. I can finish this before the end of September. 
7. Clean my car- I practically live out of my car in the summer. I have totes of clothes, rain gear, and different shoes for work. I also accumulate a lot of dirt in my car, I do have a pretty dirty job. Now that this year's season is coming to a close, I should have no problem cleaning the car. 

There it is, like I warned nothing too exciting. This should help motivate me to get it done. I have 22 days, I think I can do it. I won't stress myself over it.
Fall color is just barely starting to show but soon I should be seeing trees like this soon.

Have some fun today!
