Happy Friday to all! I've had an absolutley glorious day...all to myself! Is that selfish? Oh well! I've completed two crafty projects today. The first, a sleep mask for Samantha. The second, my October ATC for the Blissfull ATC Swap. Yes, I'm a bit early, but I was just so excited about October's theme! I've also made a batch of brownies and I've had turkey chili "brewing" in the crockpot all day! I even managed to sneak in a quick nap! I actually feel a little guilty! Okay, I'm over it! So, what's in store for tonight?? Maybe a little backyard time with my family. The weather today is just perfect! It seems the weather changes daily. One day it feels like the middle of July and the next it can feel like winter, so taking advantage of today's perfectness seems appropriate!
- The "cleanness" of the air. Does that make sense? I love that I was able to turn the A/C off today and open up the windows. The clean, crisp air moving through the house is awesome.
- Grazing all day on cheese, veggies, crackers, and chili on football Sundays!
- The smell of fire...burning leaves. (Hate raking leaves, love the smell of burning them).
- Sunsets and the fall moon. Doesn't the moon just seem bigger in the fall?
- Halloween! Love candy corn! I also love dressing up!
There you have it. My list of Fall Favorites!
Oh, I also need to mention that I forgot to note the seem allowance for the computer keyboard wrist rest. It is 1/4 ". I hope to convert the tutorial to a PDF, so stay tuned! Thanks for everyone's input!

I'm jealous about the A/C...we had cooled down here in CA but this weekend it's going to go back up into the 100's...so it's not feeling to much like fall right now. I love a good chiili on a cool day with cheese...YUM!
Thanks again for participating, I enjoyed reading your Fall favorites. Oh-and never, never, ever feel guilty about taking a nap...if you have to take one it's because you did something to deserve it. LOL! I take them daily.
Thanks for visiting with me Angela. I loved your 5 for Fall choices especially the chili. I was writing out our menu for the next 4 days (I can only plan 4 days ahead) and now chili's on the list. Hope you got some well deserved rest and come visit again when you can.
I so agree about the air, "grazing" is such a dainty word... I love pigging out for football games, and the moon is just amazing this time of year! Great choices!
Congrats on your fun day:@)
Having the day all to yourself and lovin it is NOT selfish. We all need days like that to catch up, rejuvinate, accomplish, or just as a sanity booster. You had a very productive and creative day...YOU GO GIRL!
Enjoyed your fall post! Glad you dropped by my blog so I could see it! I'll be by your blog again once I'm back on home grounds.
We don't have A/C in our homes here in the Pacific Northwest. I guess there are a few people who do but we aren't one of them. It seems that where ever we live we all like many of the same things about fall. When you described your day it sounded like a pretty great one. I hope today is also a good day.
Hello Angela! Love your blog banner and the theme. I love to sew as well and making gifts for my family and home decor are my favorite things to sew. Years ago I learned how to sew while living in Italy and I rented my first machine so that I could make curtains for the seven double balcony doors that our house had...wow! From then on I bought my first Singer and started making Halloween costumes for the entire family...it's my mom's b'day and we always had a wonderful party every year. Now that the kids area all grown up and scattered all over the states...I look forward to the holidays when we get together. I make many turkey dinners and bake all sorts of family favorites for my kids to chow down on. I've never been a fan of fall cause I don't like cold weather or snow. But we've lived in the Carolinas now for over 15 years and I don't mind the cooler weather that fall/winter bring here (no snow thought...yah ;) Hope you have a wonderful season and holidays with your family. Fondly, Roberta

Hello Angela, thanks for visting my blog. I thought I would hop over and visit you. I adore your ATC's and you are obviously an accomplished seamstress. At least I know where to come for a sewing question.
