I couldn't let the first day of Fall go by without a mention.
Fall is my favorite season! (And I wonder why Fall has a second name ~ Autumn ~ while all the other poor seasons only get ONE.)
I'd meant to have some new Fall-ish childrens book art to show, but I've been so consumed with this new knitting venture that its taken up all my time lately. Maybe I'll have pictures to show later in the week. I'll try.
There were some absolutely gorgeous chestnuts at the store today. Did I buy them? No. Why? I knew I wouldn't eat them because I don't particularly like them. I didn't know if I really felt like drawing them. Even if I decided to, would I just draw one? A whole handful? And because I couldn't decide, I just stood there fondling this one poor chestnut for a while, admiring its color, then put it back and didn't get any.
And when I went to pay for my goods and swiped my card, it wouldn't go through. The checker said it had been doing that all day. Because of the wind, the phone lines in the area were acting up, and no credit card transactions could be done. So I had to fish out cash to pay with, and luckily I had just enough (by a dollar!). It was funny that using plain old fashioned actual MONEY felt strange. The times we live in, huh?
The photo above is of my newest scarf in my shop. It reminds me of crunchy granola kind of. Its all wool and pretty yummy.
Happy Fall (or Autumn if you prefer)!

Ah, the scarf does indeed look yummy! (your new shop looks great btw).
The scarf looks like toasted something delicious.
Oh, here comes a bad pun...
I could just 'scarf' it down.
