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.
