Ah fall...

Oh, I wish I could play hooky today. One of the things I miss about living in the midwest is fall & today in San Francisco feels like a perfect Minnesota fall day. It's clear & sunny but crisp (I wish I had worn my gloves this morning) Even the leaves that turn colors here are turning. A day like today just makes me think of trips to apple farms drinking hot cider and eating fresh donuts.

It also makes me want to start Christmas shopping (ok, I actually have but now I want to really dive in to it!) Maybe working on these last night also put me in that spirit
Needles Felted OrnamentsI'm teaching a class at Noe Knit on Sunday on how to make needle felted ornaments and gift tags for the holidays. These four will get embroidery & felted decorations tonight as well as hangers but I think they are during out pretty darn cute. I think needle felting has so many fun uses I can't wait to turn other people on to it.

I also just found out last night that I'm going to be taking a class in felted flowers from Nicky Epstein at TNNA in January. I love her Knitted Embellishments books so I'm looking forward to that.
