On this the first day of Fall, I wanted
to share some of my favorite themes in creation that reflect the the
brilliance of the season.

In my family we have several autumn
traditions that are a must, and we look forward to them with
anticipation. We love apples! Apple crisp, apple pie, apple cider, and especially homemade apple sauce.

Leaf picking is another of our Fall pastimes.
We just can't pass up a colorful specimen.

This is the time of year that my favorite nuts and flowers are ready to be cooked up for dyes. I have been actively dyeing a lot of wool these last few weeks.
As we move in doors with the cooler temperatures, it is time again to bring out the autumnal pieces that evoke such warmth and inspiration.

Wonderful pattern. We have the same traditions in my family. I have been making apple sauce forever. Apple crisp is a must. We head out to Mapleside in the middle of September for apples and then once again in October for the next group of apples coming ripe.
