There aren't enough hours in a day.

Seriously, there are not enough hours in each day. That is how I've been feeling for about the last week now. I feel like its so hard to get all the things I want to done every day, and I don't know why this is. I only work part-time. Maybe I've been spending too much time crafting...but I certainly don't want to cut down my craft time, I love my crafting time. Or maybe I'm just being a little lazy, I do that sometimes. Well today, I actually did get a few things done and crossed off my list. One of those things was blogging, another was going for a run, and I actually cleaned my room today, well I started to but I made significant progress. My room was seriously a disaster area.

So I have a few pictures of my garlands (they didn't come out that great though) that I promised I would post the other day.

I also did a little baking yesterday. My first fall-themed baking of the year. I love when its fall and I can make all kinds of pumpkin goodies! I love making pumpkin pie from scratch and decorating the pie crusts with little leaves and acorns. I made some delicious pumpkin cookies for a little fall gathering we had last night.

I'm still crossing my fingers that I'll be able to get together with Marisa sometime in the next week. One, so I can finally hear about her engagement and wedding plans. And two, so she can help me make my blog and etsy shop look a little more pretty.

Come back tomorrow for some festive fall pumpkins!

It's finally Fall!

Since it's actually starting to feel like Fall here, the other night I finally started to put together my little felt leaves. I was inspired by this. But I wanted to use a lot more fall colors in mine, and well just a lot more colors. Cutting out all the little pieces was pretty time consuming, but I did it when I was watching a movie so it didn't seem quite as long.

Once I had cut out some from all the different color felt I wanted to use, I laid them out on the table and started matching bigger leaves with smaller leaves.

Then I just strung them together with a needle and some dmc floss.

All the while I had a little friend keeping me company.

He's just the cutest thing ever (most of the time). He sat down next to me on the couch and said he wanted to be like his Auntie Amy and put his fake glasses on. Then we watched Charlie Brown and Ice Age. We had so much fun laughing and playing.

I loved that he kept me company while I was doing my project. At the end of the night I had a nice little leaf garland that was about 7 feet long. It turned out really cute and I can put it just about anywhere to make it look a little more festive. And I can leave it up til Thanksgiving!

And I still have more leaves and felt left over so I'm gonna make more. Can't wait!

more leaves.

I cut more leaves out. Now I have lots of leaves in lots of colors. I'm going to start putting it together tonight and see if I need to cut out anymore. I was going to try and start it today, but I haven't been feeling that well. No matter what I do lately, I'm always so tired. Everyday. It doesn't matter how much sleep I get or how much coffee I drink, I'm just always tired. Although I do need to get myself on a better sleeping pattern, I've been staying up way too late when I don't have to get up early the next morning.

A little sneak peek of all the leaves. Sorry the color is so horrible.
