Crochet // This crochet poppy potholder is too beautiful to use!
Crochet #2 // Another amazing crochet blanket tutorial that I would love to make. I just can't decide between this one and the vintage-inspired floral blanket. Which one do you like?
Etsy // This lace collar is gorgeous in a perfect mustard yellow, one of my favorite fall colors. (via Kelli Murray)
Style // I'm going to pretend that the designers at Madewell had me in mind when they decided to produce this sweater. I mean...it has sheep on it. A sheep sweater!!!!
Art // Sarah Walton's embroidered illustrations are incredibly inspiring. I love her use of colorful fabrics.
Happy Sunday friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I am thoroughly enjoying this rainy day with some tea and catching up on blog reading. I will never get over the amazingness of the blog world. I am so thankful to be a part of this community.
Anyway, I had a great weekend working on projects, finishing up a paper embroidery, baking pumpkin bread, and watching old movies. I watched Arsenic and Old Lace for the first time Friday night. Oh my...that movie is strange. Haha. Cary Grant is hilarious and adorable, but the storyline gave me the heebie-jeebies. I was not expecting to get the creeps from an old Cary Grant movie! Have you ever seen that one? I definitely recommend it, even if you only see it once.
I also watched You've Got Mail for the millionth time. I couldn't think of a better "Yay! It feels like fall!" movie. It's the pencil quote....it gets me every time. ;)
Also, congratulations Floral & Feather! You won the UP paper embroidery giveaway! I will contact you soon so I can send it your way.
Thank you so much for the support everyone! Enjoy the rest of your day.
That poppy potholder really is gorgeous!!! I love potholders, haha.

ReplyDeleteThat Sheep sweater is awesome! I'm a fan of most sweaters with animal motifs too!
ReplyDeleteI love Arsenic and Old Lace! One of my fall traditions every year is to watch it pretty close to Halloween (I can't help but watch it other times of the year, too :). It's hilarious and the Teddy Roosevelt bit is one of my favorites. I love how spoofy and over-the-top the film is!

Haha! I told you it was an odd movie! But Cary Grant makes the absolute best faces, doesn't he? We watch it at least once a year in the Fall.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lace collar. I love the unexpected mustard color.
ReplyDeleteI so funny how you call it a "blog world". It really does seem like you slip into another wonderful dimension when you log into blogland. :)

My, that poppy potholder *is* awesome.
ReplyDeleteI've probably seen Arsenic and Old Lace about 50 times - an old tv channel around here used to play it every night instead of going off of the air. At 3:00am, that's all there was to watch. I haven't seen it in years since - I should try and find it and see how much I remember.
That sheep sweater is too adorable, I would wear it in a heartbeat! I also love the necklace and agree that mustard yellow is a great fall fashion color! Mmm that tomato soup looks delicious too! Maybe I can make some now with the tomatoes we are starting to harvest from our garden! :)
ReplyDeletearsenic & old lace is one of my favoriteee films, makes me wish i still had TCM <3
