A little sales pitch here.....if you are local and you ever want to learn how to knit, or need a refresher, or just need some help, you need to go to Black Sheep Handorx Studio and ask for Ann! She is a marvelous teacher and I swear can help you fix anything! I'm sure I'm going to need her help with any pair of socks I make (they are confusing!). I'm moving on to the next step of my socks....we'll see how this week's homework goes :)
Lots of chores to get done today! I still haven't managed to get the seasonal clothes swapped out in my closet. That is my goal today!
Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are all SU. There is a background that is hard to see - I used a square clear block, inked it with kraft and then stamped it on the background. Everything else is stamped with cajun (except for the sentiment). I stamped the leaf twice without reinking so one would be lighter.
'Grandma time' today. Stitching with friends tonight.
Have a great day!

The card - printed paper, and a sentiment. Leaf is punched out, scrunched up and sponged. Easy!
Not sure what the plan is for today. After 3 years of having Hudson on Friday, I'm having a hard time getting used to having Friday free since he started pre-school. There's plenty to do, just need to get motivated. Hopefully I can manage to get something accomplished today.
Have a terrific day!

Sorry I missed yesterday! Had Hudson all weekend and actually forgot yesterday was Monday. Hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend. I cannot believe it is September. I always hate to see summer end (it's my favorite time of year). Although it still seems like summer since the temps are still close to 100. But, time to put out some fall decorations so that's my plan for the day....after I mow the lawn.
Have a great day!
