Its Fall again...
So its Fall again. Time to wrap up loose ends and sewing until my fingers are sore! Right now I am busy, busy, busy getting ready for Christmas. I have lots of new things in store for the itybity shoppers. Two new lovelies will be in the shop in the next week!

Can I tell you how much I love the Fall. Really, I love it with all the fuzzy feelings of an awesome sweater and homemade pumpkin pie! So besides sewing and working at the shop...I have been enjoying this wonderful Season with my family. Making yummy goodies and pumpkin picking. What more could a girl ask for?

I also wanted to thank all the itybity fans that came to see me at World Maker Faire NYC! I had a blast and meet some really cool people, made some connections, and nibbled some good food.

It was a weekend filled with interesting twist that is for sure! I was able to showcase some new items that are now available in the shop. Like my new line of ipad and Iphone cozies. My good friend Mandi came to help out. She walked away with a camera full of gold women, bicycle fish, squid cars, and larger then life mouse trap game. And if all that confused you, you had to have been there!

I love the fall!

This time of year has to be my favorite time of year! I love the smell of leaves and earth. The colors of everything are so amazing and I find I feel the happiest. During the week we went on a school trip with my Sons pre-school. A trip to the local apple orchard yielded pumpkins and cider donuts! Yum! We had fun but plan to do some family pumpkin picking this weekend.

I wanted to share some lovely items I picked up last week. I desperately was hunting for the perfect Wool plaid for a special book project, but was having no luck. Fortunately I stumbled on sewing geeks shop on Etsy and found the perfect plaid wool! It arrived in a lovely twine tied packaged and is marvelous!

I also purchased this goat's milk lavender soap from butterflywisper it smells amazing! She also throw in some cute and always useful (and great smelling) almond,honey & oatmeal guest soaps!

Ok my lovelies that is all for today. I must scamper to the kitchen and whip up some Pumpkin pie for dessert (It was requested)! Have a lovely Wednesday and keep warm and cozy!

Beautiful colors, hearty flavor and a little heat!My veggie Chili recipe:
