falling now, coming soon

If the wood toy post from yesterday was of interest to you, be sure to read through the comments - there are some wonderful resources that you all shared, and answers to many of the questions that were asked in comments and emails yesterday. Thank you!

The colors outside are amazing right now - so rich and lush. Ezra says the leaves are dancing in the sky. Yes, that's just what they're doing. I've been hanging on to these last bits of fall - trying to soak them up and absorb them for the winter to come. Snow might come as early as this weekend. A holiday next week. And then, well...it's December. I'm seeing inspiring, creative and beautiful holiday work all over the internet, and admiring the Holiday Shop updates from all the crafty folk. A new season approaches...

This blanket is as child's size 'take-along' quilt. I thought very much of Ezra's 'dancing leaves' when making this. And I need look no further than out my studio window for the color inspiration I needed. This one is made with a very soft washable wool, and like my others - has ties on the end for rolling and carrying along.

I'll have this quilt, a few others, and maybe some other little treats - in the shop on Tuesday, November 27th. I'll remind you when we get a little closer. For now, though, those leaves are certainly calling to play, and I'm doing my best to stay present in this season while also looking forward to the next.
