It feels like my last post was just a week ago and after looking at the date I'm amazed that time really is flying so quickly. It's fall now! My favorite time of year by far. Apple cider, crisp air, the beautiful colors...I can hardly experience anything right now without feeling totally inspired. And this little guy. Could he seriously be any cuter?! He is a great reason to get nothing done and feel totally accomplished at the same time. Crawling like an inchworm and eating avocado like a pro it is hard to believe he is 7 months old.

I have some fun news for those of you in the Cleveland area. I was one of 25 crafters recently selected to participate in a Handmade Holiday Shoppe with the CCC! What does this mean? Between naps (for both Liam and mommy) I will be scurrying around making fabulous things available for you to purchase in a store front. More details will be coming. That also means making my Christmas gifts for friends and family now! What are you making for Christmas?!

We had a massive burst of holiday cheer around the Dennis household this weekend. Saturday morning the cookie bug bit me! After ten dozen peanut butter blossoms were made I moved onto these delicious-even-in-pictures-caramels. I would highly recommend these not only for taste (they are super yummy) but they look great, you can't mess them up and the are very time and budget sensitive. They are an even better project if you have kids that can help you unwrap all the caramels and put the sprinkles on after you drizzle the melted chocolate.

The other holiday surprise was a call from the furniture company Saturday morning. The baby furniture was delivered Saturday afternoon and I think I've gone in every day since just to make sure it is still real! I am so happy with our decision and love the quality that Twin Locust provides. Jeff and I are super jealous of the baby now! We rounded out our weekend by finishing up our Christmas shopping...now I just have a few handmade projects to finish up!

On another exciting note, if you're a fan of Heather Bailey make sure to check out her new fabric line, Nicey Jane. So feminine, light and vintage. Beautiful designs and colors. If you get the QuiltHome.com newsletter you'll see they have a discount on this brand new line as well as 25% off Amy Buter's Midwest Modern and Midwest Modern 2 lines! Yay for the holidays!
