October Fest



Happy, Happy Birthday Rita!
What a wonderful gift for all of us and I hope we all make your day special. This was so much fun.

When I saw the post for this challenge, I was super excited because autumn is my absolutely most favorite time of the year. I love the colors, I love the smells, I love the crunch, I love the crisp mornings and warm afternoons, I love getting that cozy snug feeling under the extra quilt, oh,  I could go on and on. October is so special for me because both my beautiful daughters were born in October. It is an incredibly busy time with birthday celebrations and Thanksgiving feasts. It is a time for getting together with family and a time for being thankful for all you have and all you love.


I challenged myself even further by trying some new techniques for me, bead crochet and polymer clay.  I had so much fun with both and I like how the pieces turned out.

A big thank you and a big happy birthday to our hostess Rita,  and without further ado on to the rest of the participants.

  3. What a fun challenge. I missed this one. (Seems like I miss more of them that I find.) I love autumn as well. I could identify personally with each one of your references to why it is such a wonderful time of the year. And, for me, it is a time when my dogs can walk further as they handle the cool much better than they handle heat.

    I love your bracelet and earrings. I did some bead crochet about 40 years ago with pearls (My Mom still has the long lariat style necklace I made) and I am so glad to see it making a come back. You chose beautiful fall colors for your bracelet. And, the polymer clay....well, good for you. I have tried this and always end up burning it in the oven....you would think I was cooking food. Great job!
