I'm trying so hard not to be overwhelmed by the enormous pile of autumn projects I have to accomplish. It's pretty damned daunting.
First and foremost I have to get through the next six weeks of work. At the same time I have to oversee the replacement of our chimney, I need to take down and reassemble our hay shed, and get the winter hay delivered. Those are the biggies. The rest are small and more manageable.
I've nearly finished sewing a cute play dress for Little Woodchuck for next summer. It's taken longer than I expected; I'm paying extra attention to the finishing details. Today Mister Woodchuck, LW, and I drove down to Hadley--MW needed to pick up something from the mega-bookstore there. I veered us briefly to JoAnn Fabric to look for buttons for the dress. I had picked up some at The Textile but, frankly, their button selection is the pits. I wanted something special. And today I found the most perfect buttons at JoAnn. Happy sigh.
While at JoAnn, I also grabbed a couple yards of black felt, some white felt and yellow felt yardgoods. LW has informed me that she must be Bad Badtz Maru for Hallowe'en. I've already sketched out the costume design, and hopefully it won't be a disaster. Toddlers are pretty easy to make costumes for, thankfully.
And the county fair is coming up this weekend. We're all excited about that! I loves me a fair, 'specially when I win blue ribbons!
