Savouring Autumn...




While my mind is swirling with 'winter' designs,
I really try hard to 'live in' 
and enjoy the moment I am in...
AUTUMN
Swirling leaves, cold nights, 
frosty mornings, sunny afternoons
Thanksgiving is on our heals...




"Autumn's End" has been an experiment of sorts.
I love bringing out my button jar - 
dumping the contents onto my dining room table...
smelling cloves and sorting buttons.




(I place cloves in my button jars,
to take away any 'musty' odors.)




I am loving the combination 
of Punch Needle Embroidery,
Wool and Buttons !




I think I will use this as a 'trivet' 
for my Thanksgiving table.




A golden carpet




This is my favorite view from my kitchen window.
The black silhouettes of trees at dusk.
So peaceful and quiet
as the day comes to an end.

  3. Love the pic of the gingko leaves. My neighbor has one and my DSO and I were just talking a bit ago about how in a matter of a day, it drops all those beautiful leaves.
    I will have to add cloves to my many button jars. Thanks for such a great idea.
    Hugs :)

  7. The finish on this little piece is awesome with the buttons & the wool strip - plus buttonhole stitch - love it! Your ginkgo leaves are so pretty - I wish I had one of those trees growing in MY yard!

  8. Absolutely beautiful. The combination with buttons is genius. Most of us have some sort of collection and they languish. I love the idea of cloves in the button jar. Thanks for that.
