It's Autumn! Truly.

Hello!  It's finally cooling down a bit.  We've even thrown a light blanket on the bed.   It is mid-October, after all.  And it's Friday, so I am celebrating Friday Fave Fives by linking up with everyone over at Susanne's blog.  You can, too.

1.  See? There are autumn colors in Southern California!  A fallen leaf.


2.  And since it's fall, it's time for another weekend of spinning and weaving at a favorite venue, Reyes Adobe Days.  Honestly, I think the workers at the adobe and park are the most friendly and helpful I've ever encountered at a demonstration.
I'll be there Saturday and Sunday.  All day.  Selling my autumn hats.


3.  And little headbands.


4.  Stretching my knitting a bit, I tried a new bunny pattern.  Isn't she adorable?  Those shoes!  What you can't see well is that there are even buttons on the shoe straps.


5.  I've been rereading a children's book this week:  Redwall by Brian Jacques.  It is a fiction story.  Have you read it?

I haven't read the Redwall book, but it is on my to-read list.
It is a joy looking at your knitted projects - such nice colours and patterns and the bunny is adorable. How fun that his shoes even have buttons.
I hope you sold what you wanted and that you enjoyed the people.
In No CA we have a few trees that have brilliant fall colours. It would be a treat to live somewhere where that is the norm.
Have a great weekend.

Love all your knitting and what a cute bunny!!! Never heard of the children's book! Is it appropriate for preschoolers? I'm always looking for new things to add to the classroom. We tend to do a lot of Eric Carla, Anne Rockwell, Jan Brett, ...the classics.

Yay for some autumn color!! I was in NH yesterday where the leaves have peaked. It's so pretty!!

Have a wonderful week!!

Such gorgeous knit headbands! Love those! And the bunny is too cute! I've never heard of that children's book, I'll have to look it up. I smiled when you showed the red leaf to prove fall happens in California.

Love Redwall and the whole series! Flying to southern California I was sitting next to a family and I recommended that series to their daughter who is an avid reader. Your new bunny pattern is adorable!! Happy mid October to you!

My daughters loved reading Redwall. Your bunny is so sweet! Bravo on all your great stitching! I finally finished and posted a photo of my latest preemie blanket last night. xx
