Holding Back

i <3 fall.
i love the colors and the weather and the
festivals (wine and non ;) we had a few
fall mornings a week ago and ever since i have
been raring to cut loose with the fall decor
around the house. i am trying to hold back
until the 23rd, which is the 1st day of fall.

i also really love these s&p shakers. they were a
bday gift last year.they are for my fall table. :)
i have already broken out the pumpkin spice candles,
so it may still be in the 80's some days, but my house
smells like fall. i have also made (or at least working on it)
a new pattern with some yummy fall colors. i think i'm
actually doing this one in solids!! *gasp* i know. i think i
may even use Bella solids! *larger gasp* i buy high rent
focal prints....and tend to hit up the bargain bin with a coupon
for the filler prints/solids.....so this is a big step!
"That's a lot of money for just one color"-Sheldon from
Big Bang Theory. lol. (P.S. Season 4 Drops Tuesday, and
we pre-ordered it....and it shipped out yesterday!!!!! when
it arrives, there will be NO sewing, sketching in the house that day.)

Anyone else decorate for fall? what are your fall
traditions?

Honey, once September 1 has passed, fall decor is fair game in my house. Mine goes up this week, but only because I haven't had time to do it sooner. (Of course, I also have a ___ Days 'Til Christmas sign up year-round, so mine may not be the soundest advice.) Anyway, those chicken shakers are really cute and deserve to be used. (Shake 'em if you got 'em. Or something.)

haha, thanks D :) and i don't have a Christmas countdown sign up (but now that i think about it, it may be a good idea so i don't do soooo much last minuet shopping) but we do have ice cycle lights up on the porch year round!! they come in handy should there be a party too. :) red neck ;) thats how i roll.
