Autumn Interlude

Autumn leaves! The look, smell and sound of them make my heart happy. 


I’ve been woefully absent on my blog, and would like to remedy that! Unfortunately I have no new sewing project to show off, as I have not finished any yet. My time as a nanny is winding down, I am working on a masters degree application as well as looking for a new job and a place to live, so hopefully I am justified in being a little distracted.

I have been trying to enjoy the delicious, cool autumn which has finally come to Utah (summer seemed to be unending this year!). I’ve tried to spend time with friends and family and enjoy the beauty of both the earth at this time, and the people in it who bring me joy. Here are some autumn photos to enjoy until such time as I can finish my languishing 1910s blouse and post about that!


My lovely sister Rebecca and her poodle Pippa.

Fading colours. 

My friends and I made apple dumplings last weekend and it was delightful to work together, and spend time in each other’s company.

With my sister Morag, picking out pumpkins. 


Look at that hair! Lucy loves autumn too. 

Yellow leaves, dark branches, and grey skies. Bliss!
