Fall time flies

Where does the time go?  Seems that every September the speed of time doubles up and before you know it, we're looking at Thanksgiving menus, Hallowe'en costumes and dare I say it, starting up lists for the holiday season.

So with the shorter days, cooler nights and autumnal backdrop, I have been thinking about soups.  I think I am going to try to make some new soups this fall.  I would like to try this Curried Carrot and Parsnip soup, recipe provided by fortysomething.ca .  I love all of her recipes and they always work out so well!


I am also working on some fall projects.  A little cardi for me, some pajama pants from scratch and maybe some freezer paper stenciling - new to me!


Since my last post, I did manage to complete a little cardigan for a friend who is having her baby shower next month.  It is knit with Brown Sheep cotton fleece, so even though it is a cotton sweater, it has some weight and will hopefully be a cosy little addition.  I am picturing it over a long sleeved onesie or a little dress.  I found this pattern on  Ravelry.  It's the Baby Eyelet Cardi.  Thanks to Linda at clickertyclick for the pattern.



I am especially pleased with the little label I made for the inside with some scrap pink and white linen.  I used some fabric paint and an alphabet stamp set to hand stamp her name.  I always think its nice, particularly for kids' clothes, to have personalized labels.  Hope she likes it!
