this was a really great few days off. with my line of work, i'm required to work on or around most holidays. i did work thanksgiving, but just for a few hours in the morning. so from thursday afternoon till today, i've had off! it was one of the best thanksgivings i can remember...
dinner with my family on thursday was lovely, then we headed to jason's parents house in northern pa. we ate lots of good food, took walks about the mountains, stayed inside to knit and crochet a lot, and even took in a movie. we thoroughly enjoyed fantastic mr. fox!

fall garland
so, i've been eying up this lovely fall garland for most of the autumn season. and with that as my inspiration i finally got around to making my own! i've come to realize that joanns has a limited color supply of felt, but i was still able to find some pretty great colors. jason traced and i cut and sewed them together. all in all it only took about an hours time to make.
and this wall art is what has me inspired this week. all made from toilet paper rolls. check out the how to over at growing up creative. its brilliant!

busy bee birthday projects
a very special niece is turning 9. i was quite busy this week, getting together all the last minute little things for her present and bumble bee cupcakes.
the above was my last minute crochet project. rudy the rectangle. she had picked out this picture of the little guy and asked me over a year ago if i would make it for her. so for her birthday i scurried to get it done. added some homemade clips, and called it a birthday. she loved it all. so worth every moment!

my weekend
i had the delight of going to see this movie on friday. it was beautifully done. not so sure it was a "kid movie" per say, but as adults having read the book, it was magical.
max was great, the wild things were spot on. the characters and their personalities were heartfelt. the soundtrack was lovely. the ending... well, i think that max and his mom should have fell asleep in a pile.
happy november, and weekend to all!
