Cooler Weather...

Well now with the cooler weather on the way it gives you that homey cozy feeling. To take a minute for yourself and sit back with a nice cup of tea, coffee, or hot cocoa my personal choice and a nice warm sweater or blanket perhaps sitting out on your porch or deck before old man winter arrives. This evening while I was waiting for hubby to arrive home from work I was able to sit out on the porch in our rocker reading a book with the wind blowing the trees it was very relaxing. Lately I have been thinking about the holidays and what gifts to buy. I really would like to do some handmade gifts this year I think that is very special. I have been thinking about taking a knitting class or perhaps a sewing class. I see these projects that people create and I think I want to be more crafty. I feel that it is there for me I just need the extra push (or help) to get it going. Next week I think I will be doing some calling around to check out prices for these classes. Who knows maybe if I get really good I can sell some of my goods on http://www.etsy.com/. If you have not checked out that site yet take a gander when you get a minute. This is where you can take your handmade crafts and sell them on the web there are some very crafty people out there this site gives you a chance to check out their goods and purchase them. I have been seeing people decorate for fall and Halloween. I feel as if I am behind. When do you start putting your pumpkins and corn stalks out?
