I love Fall! Mat and I went to the Valle Country Fair Saturday, I have had a watering mouth for fresh squeezed apple cider since our first chilly day. When we pulled in that was our first stop!
We headed to the food area next, we wanted to get our fill before the crowd started coming in, I loved seeing the stew pots filled with homemade goodness! The smell of fall was in the air, apples, apple butter, hobo stew, bbq, fennel cakes.... mmmm!!!
There were rows and rows of vendors, I day dreamed about hoping next year I too will be in the rows of vendors selling some of my goods, and Mat talked about his Grandma, and Grandpa Gould how they use to set up at the festivals and loved it.
And then we saw the Alpaca's..... I overheard the owner of the farm telling a man how it was heaven on earth... as he looked at her like she was crazy, I tuned and and told her how it would be my heaven... and made my bones ache for our farm... one day soon ...

Colorful Dreams
A year ago I made a duvet cover, and quickly became displeased with it. This summer I decided to ripped it or unsew it and turn into a quilt instead and headboard. The fabric on the headboard along with the matching squares in the quilt is the original fabric of the duvet cover. All the other fabrics are from my stash I had built up over time. Throwing out the idea of the skirts and hand bags the fabric original was baought for and made Mat and I this lovely bedroom set. The quilt is a king size, meaning a whole lot of fabric to work with. I am quite pleased. Not to mention that the headboard is an old frame I salvaged from a frame shop I use to work at, and that the back of the quilt is just as beautiful as the front.
quiet Sunday
