Autumn is here

As I sew a red hood to a red cape, what's left of orange maple leaves are falling on the wet ground and other trees are mostly naked. They forecast snow for Halloween, maybe enough not to make it possible to go trick or treating with a toddler.... But there will be sun, so we'll see.

October has gone so fast! Even if what I mostly did of my days was feeding and attending to my toddler. Now I can't wait to show you the costumes I'm making. I still need to find a pretty basket, and some brown cloths for Merrick, so I'm gonna hit the thrift store this week. If only it could stop raining a day or two!

I also want to find a version of the story so that Mariann understand what's she's costumed as. I'm pretty sure they have it at the used book store, maybe even in English!

Should I have a working camera on hand, I'd include *here* a galore of red jersey knit and red&white gingham fabric.
