I am just starting to think about Christmas gifts around here. I know it is a little late but better late than never. . .right!? These little squares will hopefully one day turn into a basket filled with goodies for sister’s teachers. I cannot believe that it is November! Wow! I have got to get sewing!!!

So, this is a silly thing to blog about but I am okay with that! Joann’s was having a large notions sale a few weeks ago so I decided that it was time for some new pushpins as mine have been around for probably nine years and it just felt like time. There were so many decisions to be made as pushpins have come a long way but here is what I ended up with. . .bright happy colors as well as some button pushpins. The button pins are the best ever as they do not melt when you iron over them. Incredible! I have melted so many pin heads in the past. Who knew. I should of checked into the pushpins a long time ago! I told you this was a silly post! I warned you! Now I just need to make myself a new happy pincushion as the red is not nearly as happy as the little bottle cap pincushions that Jennifer made.

The colors have been beautiful here this week. There has been a lot of outside time trying to drink it all in. We have had lots of conversations about colors, leaves and how they bring God GLORY and tell of Him and His amazing creation. He is an incredible creator! I am not sure that I ever would of thought to make the leaves turn colors but I am so thankful that He did!

We went on a little getaway to Atlanta with some dear friends for the weekend to see Wicked the Musical! Of course we ate, shopped and went sight seeing as well but mainly we went to see Wicked! We had all seen it once except for my friends husband who was a little skeptical but I have to say that I saw him laughing and smiling during the show. It is a really cute musical and definitely a must see if you are a fan of the movie!

They were really fun to make! By just sewing fabric over the already existing denim on the back and for the front pocket they had a totally different look. I cut off the bottom denim skirt and cut out a long rectangle for the skirt and gathered it before sewing it on. It came together pretty quickly and super cheaply! Yipppeee!
