"fall back" ...

i'm not ready for it yet ... the chilly mornings ... and dare i say the dark mornings ... dark dark mornings ... and we have not even had our "fall back" moment yet ... leaves are dropping around me ... it's a misty morning ... missing my instant gas fireplace just a wee bit ...

mondays mean house work for me ... put the house back together after a usually fun albeit busy weekend ... restock the pantry ... and so on and so forth ...

i'm always so happy when friday arrives ... and equally happy to see monday mornings when everyone heads back to school and work ...

so floors have been swept ...

cushions fluffed and back in place ...

washing machine churning away ...

don't ever let anyone tell you that "stay at home" mothers don't work ... i've yet to meet that strange elusive creature called the non-working mother ...

my goals for today:  catch up on the happy valley fair registrants and sit down with my trusty crochet hook and finally, once and for all and with great perseverance, learn to crochet someting in the round that actually will lay flat ... i've got a lovely old milk stool, painted just the perfect white, demanding a crochet seat cover ...

so with my trusty dog by my side ...

i'm off to work ...

wishing you a lovely crafty week ...

and, with any luck, tomorrow i shall have a photo of a newly covered milk stool ...
