Frost is in the Air

There is a chill in the air today as fall winds down, and soon will turn to winter.

 I just finished drum carding up some Fall Harvest batts.  Will be listed in the www.giffordables.etsy.com shop soon.

Also just finished this handspun shawl. Should be warm and toasty to wear this winter.

Bundle up, and keep warm  for the rest of this cool fall day.

The Frost is on the Pumpkin!

 The Frost is on the pumpkin! Brr.... it's getting colder.

The other day on the way into the big city, Hubby spotted an Amish Pumpkin Patch, and snapped a pic. I see lot's of Pumpkin Pie in that field.

 I Love Swaps. This Halloween, I sent my goodies off to a far... away... place. She should be getting it soon:)

As I  gaze out my front window across our lake, the sun filters through the golden maples on this fall crisp evening.

Hope you all  have a great weekend and get to enjoy some of Fall's last glory.

BLACK WALNUTS AND HOPS

October is finally here! Leaves are starting to change and there is a crispness to the air. I am starting to feel alive again, after a long hot summer. The walnuts are falling and soon I will be starting a dye stock made from the black walnuts for some natural wool dyeing.

My Hop Vines - yes..... these flower heads are what they use to make beer, are really plentiful this year. No beer brewing here yet. So far I just enjoy the fast creeping vines and flowers. I sometimes use the dried flower heads in fall arrangements.

Don't know about you, but Fall is my favorite time of year!
