The pumpkins have landed...

For once we didn't wait for the last minute to go get our pumpkins. And the weather was gorgeous...

Another attempt to keep our very creative children busy, and try to contain the crafty "mess" within a shoe box... We created habitats with felt, sticky foam, pipe cleaners and pompoms, for dinosaurs or other well-loved creatures...

West Coast pony

One more opportunity for Anastasia to ride, although the look of the californian pony is rather surprising...

In big

Kyan's armadillo jacket has been a big hit on the net (more than 500 visitors in less then 48 hours, and several potential orders I'm not ready to fill in...). I did make one jacket of the same style in an adult size, special order for a woman about the same size as me. Well, now, I would very much keep it for myself...

Other beach, other fog...

Not much progress on the weather front. We went to a beach further North to look at a sand sculptures contest. Very laid-back, with several categories, and people pic-nicking between the sculptures. On the menu, several castles, but mainly sea creatures.

A charming lady fox

My friend Delphine and I entered another printing contest, which required to fit a plushie on a fat quarter. We chose to make a little lady fox and her skirt, I worked on the pattern and the testing, she did the illustration. At the end, we didn't win, but it was a wonderful experience to work together (she from Los Angeles, me from up North), and we can't wait to start again. And we're really proud of our little foxy lady...

Under the fog, the beach...

Not much progress on the fog front, we're trying to enjoy the beach anyway. A tad chilly, but still a lot of fun...
