my beautiful husband planting a sunflower commune…pictures of the results to follow!

what Fall feels like…

rose garden

Lately I have felt a twinge of Fall in the air….its probably just wishful thinking as its been nearly 90 degrees this entire week, but I’m still patiently (or not so patiently) awaiting my favorite season. This picture is of course from last year and seeing it only fed my Fall-infested thoughts. This picture reminds me of the great day that Jonathan and I had walking around Fayetteville. He wound up at the Dickson St. Book Store, while I stayed at the Walton Arts Center’s rose garden to catch up on Jonathan’s recommended reading of Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse-Five”….cant you just taste the peppermint and feel the cool breeze?

blueberry-lemon tart {mmm}

A large tart that Raine and I made for Jonathan’s birthday. Even though the crust turned out ridculously hard, it still tasted delicious!

strawberry platters

Hand-dipped strawberries and pretzels for Raine’s teachers at school.

Raine’s Dress…

{front}

Lately I have found new ways to direct my creative energies. This dress for Raine is the latest project I have undertaken. I sewed this from a pattern that I made myself by measuring her and making a custom fit. It turned out quite pleasant…I’m very pleased! Hopefully there will be more to come…
