Hello September!

Finally!! Fall is soooo my favorite season.  Always has been!!  What's your favorite season?



I'll be changing out my decor today from summer to September... which for me is not just summer to fall.  Autumn is so rich and deep for me.  As a retired teacher, September has an important place in my heart...Back to School.  So, I have a tub of things I put out in my home just for the month of September!!  Here are some of the school themed quilts I will be pulling out today!

The weather here in northern Virginia is sure not fallish in any way.  It's cloudy here today with showers forecasted...temps in the 90's!  UGH!!  Can't wait for the temps to get cooler!!

So, what are you working on these days?  Has fall arrived where you are yet?

Happy Almost Fall, Y’all!!

I have this Snoopy flag that I put out the night before I had to go back to work at school at the end of each August.  It’s faded over time, but still cherish it and use it every year!!

I’ll be putting it out today as well as putting my summer decor away and bringing out all my school decor!  After 34 years teaching, I have lots!!  

But I must admit, I am soooo very glad to be retired from teaching now! I think Yogi likes that I’m home all day with him, too!!

September Decor

As you surely know by now,…

I just retired from teaching this past June!  Two months ago! 

I taught special education kiddos with intellectual disabilities for 34 years.

So  I’ve been given and also have collected lots of teacher and school knick knacks over the years. 

And this past month  I made some new school themed quilts to the mix  as well.

So all my summer stuff has been packed away in tubs in the

storage room in our basement for another year and the school décor is out!!

I have a few teacher dolls…

and a few student dolls.

Lots of chalkboards…

and tons of apples!!

A few school busses…

and some wonderful sayings …

and cross stitches. And lots of little school houses!

I still have enough school fabrics and panels in my stash to make a few more quilts. 

But it will have to wait now until next summer. See the napping Yogiboy on the couch?

‘Cause I got fall and Halloween sewing on my mind!!

Whatcha sewin’ on these days??
