felt leaves and autumn!
2009 September 29
We’ve been a busy bunch the last few days! I’ve been sewing felt leaves to make all kinds of Autumn goodies!
Been hitting the books too! Charm, our big black cat, loves to learn with the girls. Here he is sharing a chair with Araina (he never leaves her side).
Went to the library today and picked out some travel guides to help plan some trips that are in the near future.
And today was my mom’s birthday; we went to lunch then came home and made her a diabetic pumpkin pie. We also made a non-diabetic one for us!
I just love Autumn! And if you haven’t entered already, there is one more day to enter the book giveaway! Click here to enter!

I have been looking for a fun way to introduce sewing to Princess (and to me). These leaves are perfect! I think a trip to the craft store is in order. I already have a ton of embroidery floss. I just need to pick up some felt. Thanks for the inspiration!
Your cat is gorgeous! I love the veins on the leaves. My son wants to be a haunted tree for Halloween and I have to make sure I add that detail to some of the felt leaves I have planned for his costume.
Oh! Love love love those leaves!
Beautiful black cat, what are you looking at me?
Oh, you protect your good friend Ariana!
What a beautiful autumn crown she wears
Meow, my cats enjoy playing with leaves

I’m in love with the little leaf headbands! So cute! The pumpkin pie looks delicious. Did you make the crust? If so, we make the edge crinkly in the same way. I have a great crust recipe in my latest post…
Happy fall!
The leaf crown is so beautiful! Are they stiffened in any way? And is there a backing band for the crown?
Oh – I love fall – and your leaves are the cutest!
Those leaves are gorgeous, and they make such a sweet crown.
Those leaves are amazing. I always leave your blog shaking me head at how many awesome things you do!
Your enthusiasm and industrious nature is so very inspiring! what fun. love the leaves! happy autumn!
That leaf crown is wonderful. You really had me ready to pull out the felt for a garland but no room this year, next year though.
But the pumpkin pie…now that might be doable!
I don’t know how you do it all!!! Love your autumn leaves (and the cat!).
Those leaves are SEW cute!
I just adore the second photo, your cat does look like my big Boo!
Your leaves are beautiful. I especially like the way that they became a crown! What a fun project. We are getting in the sewing mode lately. Perhaps we’ll try to make some leaves…
I keep meaning to make some of those felt leaves. must.get.on.it!!
Everything looks wonderful, as always! <3
Autumn is my favorite, too. And I love reading about everyone’s leaf projects. Yours are lovely.
what a fabulous cat. what a wonderful look on his face!!
I love the leaves too.
Me too on the crown… it’s just wonderful… when are you going to open that Etsy shop, Girl????
I’m having a wonderful time with my mom… she leaves on Thursday… the month has gone too fast! Thanks for asking.
I can hear you have big worries on your mind… my grandma always used to tell us that ‘these things have a way of working themselves out’. Hard to trust in that always, I know, but it’s amazing how they just do have a way of working themselves out. Thinking of you.
Blessings and magic.
oh my gosh, i love those leaves! are those cut free-hand or with a template? have fun on your travels; i love the carolinas!
Those leaves are lovely! I love the shot of Araina and Charm!
fun upcoming trips!! i think we are hitting up atlanta in a couple of weeks! woot!
Love that leaf crown, and her pose.
Oh Renee and Val, would LOVE to visit Maine some day. I want Dave to do some job searching there acutually…will have to wait and see!
Lisa, Charm for sure is a “I’m in charge here” kind of cat. He’s great!
Thanks for the positive comments about the crown!

love the autumn leaf crown, so sweet and dear!
We are loving the fall too – today had that particular chill in the air, and it got downright blustery at one point…I love those leaves; this non-sewer might just have to take a crack at it…And that Charm – wow. My girls would love it if one of our cats would adopt them like that – he is beautiful!!
I love the felt leaf crown! That cat has an “I’m in-charge around here” kind of look.
I just love that leaf crown! That is one gorgeous cat you have.
I just LOVE those leaves…super cute idea! I agree with Renee, you should visit Maine!
I love the leaves on Araina AND your beautiful Charm!
Too bad there’s no Maine travel books in that mix. You’d love it here.
That is one awesome cat!
What lovely leaves! Is that a stem stitch?
Rae, it’s the split stitch. Stem stitch would work though.
