Hello all my lovely followers! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Here in the States, it was Labor Day weekend, so most people had the day off. I hope you were all able to have a relaxing weekend, since this weekend unoffically marks the end of summer. Time flies, that's for damn sure. I feel like it was just the 4th of July.
Once I got rid of a migraine that sidelined me most of Friday and Saturday, I spent the weekend feverishly stitching. Most of that time was spent on Rachel's wedding gift, but I was able to final stitches in my October "Word Play". I think it turned out super cute on this fabric - Antique Almond by Silkweaver. The muted browns & oranges for fall really mixed well with the dye of this fabric, and I love how it turned out!
Oh so cute!!!!
I just love that witch. She's all cute with her pumpkin in her hand, but you know that cauldron will be used for a spell that's beyond awesome once the sun goes down....just sayin'....
I did manage to put down my needle & thread for long enough to take the train up to NYC for the day on Sunday. It was an overcast & humid day, but not hot, so it was a perfect day to walk through the city. I'd been wanting to visit this trim store called M&J Trimming since I'd seen pics on Holly Becker's blog,decor8. She was teaching in NYC, and stopped in to M&J and snapped some pics. Since then, I've been dying to get in there and see what was up. (btdubs - Holly is a wonderful creative person to follow - she's got a great blog & takes awesome pics that she shares on Instagram)
Seriously. Does not even hold a candle to how much stuff was in this store. It was almost overwhelming. I can't wait to go back...next time I'm going when the fabric stores are all open....like mood....yesssss.......
Ok. So enough about walls and walls of trim and dreams of mood fabric. You got this far, and now you're wondering where I hid this supposed giveaway, amiright?
