Who doesn't enjoy a fall festival? The setting is quite idyllic, just where you'd expect a pumpkin festival to be found- back in the country amongst the trees decked out in their beautiful reds, oranges, yellows and golds. It was quite chilly this year... good weather for the hot food vendors, not so much if you were selling ice cream. Each year it's the peach dumplings that we look forward to...scrumptious! If you'd like to know more about the <a href="http://olcountrybarn.blogspot.com/">Pumpkin Festival at the Ol' Country Barn check out their blog.</a><br />

Do you have a special Autumn event that you attend each year? <br />

During a long wait at the airport and some yarn doodling I crocheted a little flower, brought it home and added a few embellishments: lime green cord, beads and one of my Gram Davis's orange buttons. Cute enough to crochet up a garden full.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
studio inspiration colors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OIkNkUJ8YLo/VTpJ_gM3y6I/AAAAAAAABXA/Gh9O2H-hUTg/s1600/DSCN3642.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OIkNkUJ8YLo/VTpJ_gM3y6I/AAAAAAAABXA/Gh9O2H-hUTg/s1600/DSCN3642.JPG" height="360" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I were asked what my favorite colors were, I would say dark mossy greens, coral</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and rich chocolate brown. There have been years that my favorite colors were navy and cranberry...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and even a country blue and beige period. I also really like many shades of green, i. e. apple and lime and some shades of purple. Although truth be told, I went through an off-white/rusty white time... and I still do like to incorporate a bit here and there. The colorful fabric in the photo was gifted to me from my daughter and I have wanted to incorporate it somewhere in my home. All of the rooms' color schemes have been chosen for one reason or another, but my studio room make-over needs <b><i>color</i></b> so what better place to use a very special piece of fabric? I would have to say that red is one of my least favorite colors and pink is just pink, but they are so rich in this fabric that I quite like them. As I organized my yarn stash, look what I found... bright coordinating colors. The other piece I found from my local big box and I think it works quite well. I have a few projects planned, more on that later. So, if you really wanted to know my favorite color, well I can hardly say I have just one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How about you, one favorite or many?</div>

I really enjoy making dishcloths in the evening. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I get lots of practice </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
working with a variety of crochet stitches and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's fun to make up random patterns as I stitch merrily along.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My</span> <a href="http://pjclarkdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/01/reminisce.html">Gram Davis</a> was quite a needle-crafter... something that I can appreciate more and more as the years pass. She's the type of person that if she were alive today, I can imagine her selling at craft shows and fairs, and even, I dare say, on one or even various online venues. Because you see, she actually did make things and sold them; aprons and baby shoes and the like. Sadly, I remember very few details - I was young and paid it no mind, although I remember her making dresses and pj's for my three brothers, my sister and I. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What will I do with a suitcase full of vintage needlework patterns? Yes, I will keep them- how can I not? I am too sentimental for my own good. I take them out every now and again and sort through them, and how could I resist making an apron from one of her patterns? I think she would be pleased that I'm following in her footsteps, enjoying these same things she liked very much to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As I write this post, it brings tears for the "if only's" - if only I would have paid more attention, if only I had been more interested, if only I would have listened better. You know how it goes... the questions that cannot be asked or answered. I think they would sound sort of like this; who taught you how to sew and do needlework or have you always enjoyed it since you were a little girl? Well, no matter. Besides her patterns, I have few more of her vintage (to me) sewing and crafting things, but more importantly, I have some memories.</div>

The ladies in my family really like my crocheted dishcloths, so my goal is to crochet some each month. Posting them will help to me to keep track how many I actually get done and it's likely I'll make more than if I didn't record them. Three of these four will be on their way to new homes soon.<br />

Someday I'm going to sew up a bunch of drawstring or zipper project bags, but until then I've been needing something to store my crochet projects in that would be around-the-house portable. This dark olive tweed vintage Mendel train case will be just the ticket. It's from an estate sale in Florida.</div>

this is the first item I have crocheted by reading and following written instructions. A simple cowl yes, but a victory! If you struggle with reading written patterns then you know exactly what I am talking about. Only within the last while have I discovered that I am a visual learner. Learning to read charts and watching You Tube videos have been super helpful. <br />

I love the way it wants to naturally roll around upon itself. It's so complimentary to the diagonal rows of stitches.<br />
