So, here is October in "almost heaven" West Virginia.
Is this WOW, or what???
And that beautifully colored hillside in the background was just kind of dead looking green the last time I looked. :)
And since I'm already here, might as well post this picture of the outside of the library roombox, finally finished and all the mess of making it put away!! No more cardtable in my bedroom. I still have to do things like fill the bookcases and get the books to stay put, probably also actually glue the bookcases to the back wall, but I can do that kind of work without much mess or fuss.
I really love this paper. And I figure with such a very serious and kind of elegant library, the paper reflects January's "inner child" or maybe just the fact that she is, after all, my baby. :)
And while I'm at it, I'll post pictures of the little progress I've made on my 40-count Chinese rug...
Here's what it looked like on June 11, 2011 ( last time I had worked on it!):
And here's what it looks like as of today (I started up on it again around October 5 I think):
I know it doesn't look like much, but it is slowwww going
And this is what it will/would look like if I ever finish it:

The fall colors are absolutely awesome! I love the wallpaper you chose for the outside of your daughters roombox and that rug, well I think its going to be just beautiful. Right now I'm working on miniature christmas stockings on 58ct gauze. Didn't realize how tiny that actually was.
I love light like that---bright sun from one direction, but some clouds in the opposite direction. Philly was like that last weekend, from the train; dark, threatening clouds over the city, while in the west, clear skies with a blinding sunset---so the buildings and trees just popped against that dark sky!
The rug definitely shows progress... and it is such a pretty rug, in the finished preview!
Love the beautiful colors...we have gorgeous colors in New York this year too! Beautiful rug! And I too love that wallpaper on the roombox....where ever did you find that? Thank you for sharing!
Thanks to all of you for commenting and FabShabbyRoses thanks especially to you for taking some of the burden of commenting off Di and my son Chris who are such faithful followers! :)
The paper is a scrapbook paper that I bought at a local shop. It's a company called Graphic45 and the series my paper is in is called An ABC Primer Collection. I found some online after my scrapbook store ran out.
I will try to e-mail you with this info but so far, I've not been very successful at e-mailing my followers which is a shame cause I would like to welcome them when they first sign on...
