Welcome to my little pumpkin patch! Although I’m resisting the urge to decorate my home in all things fall, over the last few weeks I have allowed myself to work on fall-themed craft projects. I’m cranking out more of the sweater pumpkins I made and shared last year, and am pairing them with the clay leaves I shared in my last post.

In many ways, I think August and September might be my favorite months because they’re filled with the anticipation of fall – a feeling almost more glorious than the first cool fall day itself. Every wonderful wuzzy-sweatered, crisp-aired, apple-cider-scented thing I love is just around the corner and I can deal with almost anything if I have the promise of fall in my sights!
