With the ~slightly~ cooler temps and the shortening days, my thoughts turn inward and of course they turn to handcrafts. Here are a few that I have planned for this fall.
First is en embroidery project of Alice and the Cheshire cat for Sophie's room.
Then I am going to finally begin working on the Baby Clothes Memory quilt for Sophie. It is made out of some of her most special baby clothes, I will cut into squares and then add fabric as a border and backing. Its going to be CUTE!
Here are some of the "magic" wands that I am working on, need to finish them. They are going on my Etsy shop soon, along with more hippie skirts.
And I plan to learn to knit socks this year. Using the four needle method. It should be interesting. I have visions of whipping some up for everyone in the family, cozy wool socks for winter. Uuummm.
I am sure that more ideas and plans will be added to this list in the near future. Its shaping up to be a busy fall.

What a great idea to make a quilt out of baby clothes.
I like to work on crafts in the cooler months too. My knitting has been slow to progress. I hope to fix the sweater I almost finished last year (pooped out after third try on picking up the collar) and working on more hand-sewing projects.
I hope you'll post the progression of your knitting and quilting work here as well! I've enjoyed seeing the cloak progress, especially the bead spider.
Those all look like wonderful projects!
tennzen; I will try to remember to post the results here. And the cloak is in the final stages of finishing. I will post photos this week or next. Thanks and blessings.
