I hope everyone is having a great start of Fall (for those of us in the US) or a great start to Spring on the Southern hemisphere . One of the things I truly love about living in Northern Nevada is that we can feel the change of seasons. The nights become colder and windier. The trees begin to change colors and Ridley begins to sleep/cuddle more with me. I have a need to drink tea all the time. And the baking. All I want to do now is bake.
Over the last few weeks, we've had a lot of visitors. My in-laws came up for Labor Day weekend. We went to Echo Lake near Tahoe and had an early birthday dinner for Jesse. My brother and his girlfriend came up a week or so ago. We had a good time. They got to see it snow on the Sierras. Hannah and I went thrifting and found some great sweaters. I'll have to make a post about all of my thrift finds at a later date. It was nice having my brother up here. He and Jesse got to spend some quality time playing video games.
A few months ago, I decided to host a giveaway to celebrate reaching 50 followers. Now I'm up to 70 followers and figured it was time to get my but in gear. I want to thank everyone who reads and comments on my posts. I truly enjoy reading every comment and try to reply as quickly as possible.
Now, I've got things together and will be hosting my first giveaway!

Onto the Prizes
A double orange Ranunculus flower clip. Made by me
A pair of silk Orchids.
An embroidered kitchen towel. Honestly, I love the way this turned out. One of my best projects to date.
Side A
Side B
Handmade quilted sunglasses case.
Inside
A hand knit keyhole scarf. This was made using acrylic yarn so it is machine washable and dry-able.

I wish everyone good luck and a great weekend.
