Autumn

So I guess it has been a little while since I've posted, eh? I have been really busy and haven't made the effort to get down here in the basement and blog anything.
The weather has cooled down significantly here, at home. On this particular day I HAD to put on Elli's new tights with her little dress and vest. I think she looks like a little Punky Brewster! I can't help dressing her this way. She'll either look back and say "Geez, mom." or "Look how cute I was! " Probably the first.
She loves to find "poppies" out in my flowerbed. They are little seed pods that grow in the impatients. They swell up real big and then pop! when you touch them. She's holding some here in the picture. My flowers are so massive that I have some poppies for the record books. And I think that we've popped so many, that they have spread all over my flowerbed. I swear, I didn't plant them everywhere that they are coming up now. It's a nice little surprise...glad I was lazy and didn't pull up my weeds :)


On another note, Singer Co. is going to replace my sewing machine for me. I, hopefully, just bought a dud of a machine and this next one will work. A very good friend of mine is going to let me borrow hers until I get my new one...however long that's going to take. Why is it that whenever I really get into the mood to make something, it never works easily for me?

Elli looks so cute. I think she'll say "Geez, mom, I WAS cute wasn't I?"
Glad you're getting a new machine. It happens to me too, when I want to sew, my machine acts up and makes me crazy with frustration.
