Each new month is a fresh beginning--right? I can't believe that I didn't post at all in August. Yikes! I didn't even work on many projects--but I did finish this gnome--pattern by Aimee Ray. I changed the pattern she sells here a little bit with my choice of colors and embroidery.

Whooot....

I was woken this morning by the owl which has been visiting our curly willow tree for some days now. I haven't found any cool owl pellets underneath the tree but we have heard him just whooting away in the late evenings and very early mornings. It is a comforting sound--a sound of home, the woods.
