October Link Love

Why don't we start out the love with a little fall inspiration over at Delightfully Tacky, Fall Inspiration: Pumpkins.

Next how about one of my favorite things combined with learning a new skill, Wild Olive has Coffee Embroidery Patterns.

Over on the Etsy blog they had a fun project and how to on Building a Bat House, a great twist on the old bird house project.

Offbeat Home had two great DIYs, the first one was a recipe and a how to on Making State Fair Style Corn Dogs (one of my favorite fried things on a stick), and the second was two different how tos on making a Hanging Garden.

While we're exploring home tips and decorating options I love Upcountry Vintage's Ultra Affordable Bathroom Art Solution.

This last link has saved my butt a few times and I am now in love with Bias Binding. Over on Coletterie there is a great tutorial on Bias binding as a Facing or Detail.

New Look & October Giveaway!

I am trying out Bloggers new templet designer. I'm still up in the air about it, the real reason I switched is because I wanted to change up my layout, but Blogger wouldn't let me do that with my old design so I had to "upgrade". Expect a few tweeks here and there till I figure out what looks the best.

In other news I'm an October sponsor for One Pearl Button who also recently got a new look. Also I'm planing some great patterns to be released this month and I'm starting to knit for November too. I love October, the leaves are changing, it's a great time for apple cider, I can wear my wooly sweaters, I start knitting more sweaters, and it's my birthday month. In celebration of the month of October I am giving away a copy of the Saucy Librarian Sweater Knitting Pattern. Leave me a comment about why you love October and I will pick a winner at random. The winner will be announced on October 14th. Good Luck!

Vintage Finds: October

The air is crisp, and the leaves are just starting to turn! So lately I've been having a fall theme in a lot of my posts and today is no exception. Today is the start of the month of October and it is one of my favorite months of the year. Not only is it the month of my birth, but it is also the month of Holloween and Apple cider doughnuts and pumpkin seeds. With the first falling on Thursday I could think of no better way to usher in the month by making it today's theme.
