Thank you

thanks to everyone who reads my little blog, and thanks for the encouraging comments.
I made these cards for the new challenge over at http://whatisyourfavething.blogspot.com/
Be sure to go over and read Julie's wonderful idea for this challenge, see the DT's fantastic selection of cards, and then make some cards in your favorite fall colors. I used some of the wonderful SEI Moonrise collection papers and embellishments - such perfect colors for fall!
Back later today or tomorrow with a new layout I made yesterday - I haven't been doing challenges much for about 6 months but I tried one, no two, yesterday.
Gotta finish laundry and ironing - yoga is done and most of the house cleaned - this afternoon will be some playtime in the studio and then late afternoon a Library Friends board meeting - busy day!!!!!
ttfn

Another year

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?"
    -Mary Oliver
   "The Summer Day"

I won this yard of Japanese cotton from the Sew Mama Sew blog - I selected it from their store, and the fabric feels so soft and silky that I know it will be a joy to sew. It seems that I am drawn to these colors right now as yesterday I stopped at Tuesday Morning and found a few wonderful skeins of ribbon yarn, and when I returned home, I realized that they were in the same color families. 
I made these little flowers from ultrasuede yesterday - I had gotten a wonderful book from the library, Fabric Jewelry by Teresa Searle, and plan to try quite a few of her ideas - not for jewelry but change them a bit for scrapping embellishments.
This is a layout that I made with SEI Monsterville - don't you just love those funky little monsters? You will be seeing quite a few new layouts done in the new SEI lines and the new Bella Blvd lines so stay tuned!
Hope you have a super day!
and thanks for reading!
