Fall Leaves

No new crafts because of midterms, but today I took a break from schoolwork to go on a drive and see all the fall leaves. I'm not fond of living in Arkansas, even if it is for graduate school, but I will admit the best thing about it is the nature. Lots of trees, lots of hills, and in October when the leaves turn it is incredible. So here are photos of that in lieu of crafts.

War Eagle Craft Fair

The actual War Eagle Mill, the epicenter and about 1/25th of the total craft fair.

This past weekend was the famous War Eagle Craft Fair near where I live. The nutshell version is this short news clip from a local channel:

Since I am poor and need to start paying off my student loans one of these days, I didn't spend much. I got two knitted wool scarves and a big bag of "rescued jewelry" that a vendor was selling. Here's the content of that bag:

Bit of things, pretty things, assorted items that aren't too pretty as are but have a lot of potential, flat out ugly things, useless junk, amazing things, etc!

I see so many future projects laying there on my blanket, and since today and tomorrow are fall break I can work on some of my ideas.

Also, since crochet takes awhile and I'm crocheting most of my Christmas gifts this year (I get to make a baby hat with ears, finally!), I'm going to be talking a lot about crochet this fall. I already have three projects done that need photos to be taken of them, and am about halfway through a fourth! With three more projects lined up when I finish the current one, I have something to do all autumn long. So there will be photos of all that eventually.

Have a great fall, and see you again soon!
