With Halloween costume sewing behind me, I can now talk about all the other things that have been going on. First off, the wedding was beautiful and the weather was a perfect fall day. Unfortunately, both kids got sick so we had to cut our visit short. I did, however, get to see the bride and groom open their wedding gift and am thrilled that they enjoyed it.
A few things have also arrived in the mail. First off, the adorable pumpkin I won from Carrie! I didn’t put up that many Halloween decorations this year (I couldn’t find our box, I wonder if Bret did that on purpose?) so he’s a cute addition to our house. For anyone interested Carrie has them available in her Etsy shop.
I also purchased to fun fabrics. The first, a Japanese import that looks like newspaper:

I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing with it, but when I saw it, I knew that I had to have it. The second, an Andy Warhol inspired silk screened till with Campbell’s soup cans!

I have always been a huge Warhol fan so this fabric really called to me. I have 6 yards that I can play with so there are lots of possibilities (for anyone interested, I found this one on both eBay and Etsy), aprons, grocery totes, maybe even a funky, full skirt!
