Just a Quick Hello ...


Hi Sweet Friends!
 
I can't believe how quickly the summer flew by this year.  
I've been so busy with all sorts of stuff, and time just slipped away.
 
The days are growing shorter, a few leaves have begun to change, and the crickets are singing their little heads off each night at soon as it begins to get dark...a sure sign that fall is about to start! 

  
There was a huge bin of pumpkins sitting outside the grocery store entrance yesterday.  I felt my heart smile as I walked by. :)
 
I hope you all had a lovely summer, and you too are looking forward to a beautiful, fun-filled autumn!

To celebrate the onset of this lovely season, next Sunday I'll pick a name out of my hat,  and one of you will win the pumpkin pin below.

 
Thank you for your visits and the kind comments you left over the past few months.

See you next week.  Good luck!

  3. Wild that you would choose today post as I just checked to see what you were up to yesterday! Busy summer here too, not that fall will bring anything too different. Glad to see you back and that you're still creating. The Scottie behind the pumpkins is adorable! Have a fabulous week, Kimberly

  13. Welcome back! Summer has been all too short this year and it's so sad to see the trees turning colour already (and some of them are losing their leaves too).

  14. Good evening dear Paulette.
    So good to see you posting... I have found the older I get the faster time goes by.. You are so right, I don't know where the summer went either.. Now all I need is for the summer weather to go away..tee hee

    I would LOVE to have my name put in the hat for this beautiful pin... I have always admired your work. Always so beautiful and detailed... This pumpkin pin is just the sweetest pin!

  18. Hi Paulette, so good to see you. I love the colors that surround us in the Autumn: russets, browns, maroons, velvety greens and burnt oranges... You have captured the spirit of the pumpkin in your pin-so cute.

  21. love, love, love the pin! but then, you KNOW how i feel about your work!

    so? how the heck are ya? i took my house off the market and am now redecorating. little crafting getting done but i've become queen of the recycle and spray paint! my hubby used to tell me.... don't toss it, spray paint it... and boy was he right. i'm having a ball.

    also have a grandson (the 1st boy). his name is liam and he is not 6 months old and gorgeous (but, of course, he is LOL).

    fall-like weather has finally come to the midwest. the sandwich fair came and went which means summer is officially over, and truth be told... my fall decorations are all around the house (inside and out) and a friend of mine brought me over 4 good-sized pumpkins that she grew herself! yep. life is good.

    hope all is well with you and always good to see your gorgeous work!

    big hugs :)

  22. I noticed the grocery store putting pumpkins out yesterday - not sure if I'm ready for fall yet, although it's my favorite month - summer just seemed so short after the very long winter we had. So glad to see you back - was hoping it was just because you were busy. Love these little pins - your work is wonderful - so much detail!

  23. I always love the approach of fall....the leaves begin to turn an olive green and sky becomes the most beautiful clear blue color. The other seasons seem to arrive in a hurry but fall takes it's time and shares it's beauty! Love the pin another masterpiece with your felt, beads and needle.

  40. Hello Sweet P! I'm so glad to see your little pumpkin doggy pop up in my feed, him and his cute lil sunflower bum! I hope you've had a great, if busy, summer! It really seems to have come and gone in a flash this year, no? I've barely blogged myself, shame shame. It's been so hard to focus on computer stuff this summer when real life is calling and I want to be outside soaking up the sunshine and the river and the mountains! Blogging just seems to get left by the wayside. Ah well, we'll catch up when the weather is crummy and there are no good movies, books or stitching to occupy us, right? LOL!!
    Happy Autumn, Paulette! OXOXO!

  44. Hi, Girlfriend!
    I, for one, can't wait for the weather (in south FL) to cool down. It's been hot, hot, hot - and steamy - all summer. Enough already!

    So happy to see your creations. They always make me smile.
    Love and hugs from me to you!
