Fall in the Pac-Northwest

It's officially fall/autumn in our neck of the woods, and we are loving it!  We are also officially friends with the orchardist behind our property and got to 'glean' the trees behind our fence (golden delicious...ymmm).  It's been great!  Lots of applesauce and apple crisp at our house.  We also got to mooch two boxes of pears from a orchard that wasn't getting harvested this year.  It's been a fun fall so far!  

Here are some pictures of our harvesting and a fall family outing for our church at a pumpkin patch last Sunday.

Project: Baby Bibs




Made a few baby bibs today for two new baby girls that we know.  I love this paisley print, so feminine and fun for a baby girl who needs to be cute while she's eating!  This is a simple pattern I slightly modified from a bib my sister-in-law (Racheal) made for Leyton when he was an infant.  I topstitch around the bib with a decorative stitch.  I only have a couple stitches on my machine but they are fun to use on stuff like this.  

Craft of the day...off the list!  Moving on to clean up my kitchen before my kids wake up from their naps.
