Wrapping Up October

How the heck is November here already?
I have a love/hate relationship with November.  I love it because Eli and I both have birthdays this month plus I adore Thanksgiving, but it also induces a bit of panic in me because it means Christmas is right around the corner!

 

 

Before I fully panic, let’s take a peek back at October’s creative moments.
 

 

In October, I knit a pumpkin, dyed acorns orange with RIT Dye, painted a dresser {using DIY chalk-finish paint}, turned a bike helmet into a dinosaur helmet using a little duct tape, wrapped some vases in thrifted sweater sleeves, made some fabric-wrapped words, experienced McKinney Trade Days, and painted some new art for my dining room.
 

 

Happy November!
 

Randi
