The Wrecking Sounds of Fall

As you all know, I love Fall. I think that much is pretty obvious on my blog! And one of the coolest prompts we've had so far in the I heart Fall Journal Class is "Create the Perfect Fall Playlist"!

So, with that being said I created an online playlist that you all can enjoy. Get a peek into my musical prefrences!

Here is the link so you can see the whole thing.

If you are thinking what in the world?! to the selctions, let me explain! I've used to be heavily into finding new bands and listening to new music and being "trendy" when it came to music. When I got out of highschool, I pretty much just kept listening to the music that I liked alot. This playlist reflects that. These are songs that I've been listening to for years now. Some are newer than others. Some I don't really listen to anymore, but they mean Fall to me. Like #1 & #2. I used to listen to the Ugly Organ by Cursive ONLY in the fall/winter season. The windows had to be down and the heat had to be on. The volume had to be as loud as I could stand and I would totally jam out in my car. Now, I don't have that c.d. anymore.. it's in my itunes... Anyway, it iconalizes fall to me. The creepy organ bits, the jangeling keys, the crowd, the announcers voice. Very carnival feeling. Love it.

There are four songs on this list that are in my ALL time favorite songs EVER! Those would be:

In A Sweater Poorly Knit -mewithoutyou

Invasion- Eisley

Nobody Hugs A Rose- Cool Hand Luke

Embers & Envelops- Mae

Memories- Eisley.

Pretty much all songs from those bands I am in love with. I plan to name my next daughter Eisley Mae. :) I guess my life if really influenced by music! Right now (and for the past year or so) my favorite muscian is Brooke Fraser or more recently married Ligertwood. She's a leader on Hillsong and writes and sings some of the most beautiful worship songs you will ever hear! I think I aspire to be like her in my piano playing and singing. Even my song writing. She's so effortless and anoited. I could literally get lost in her songs.

So, there you have it. My music for fall. And my love for music. Hope you liked it!

What are your favorites? I'm curious & would love to hear what you like!!

Pumpkins and such

hello loves! how is your wednesday treating ya? i've gotten a lot accomplished today!

I've uploaded a TON of picutres to my flickr and I added a new item to my etsy!

MMM. Look at all that Fallish Goodness!

So, if you would like to BUY a pumpkin please go to my etsy shop and geets one! ;)
I know a lot of my journal friends were interested so they will probably go quick, but NEVER FEAR! I am making more :) You can always request one too! Say you want a black pumpkin with an orange stem? No Problem! Or maybe an off white pumkin with a brown stem? I gotcha covered.

I hope you guys are getting into the season change! I am so ready for it to be COOL! And it's not here. It's really annoying, but as soon as the cooler tempertures get here I know everything will be perfect!

I Heart Fall Class & WIP UPDATE

you guys are going to get so sick of me this fall. because I am so gung-ho about it. :)I signed up for this journaling class! What can I say, it is my new obsession.
I can't wait to get started! So, if you're in the I Heart Fall Class, follow me so we can keep up with each other!

W.I.P UPDATE:I took Doodle outside to play today and while she ran amuk in the yard I sat in the swing and crocheted granny squares for my blanket.
can you see her peeking out of her house? and yes, our gas tank is painted as a cow. gotta love my dad. he's crafty. i get it all from him!!
I thought I was nearly finished. After laying it out the other night I realized it wasn't big enough to go on my bed. Now, I have 4 more big granny squares I need to make! No Problem! Here is the most recent one!

Three cream rows down, six more to go! Then, 3 more granny squares.... It's getting there.

I am so feeling these colors for the season change. The last bits of summer hanging on and the gradual change to Fall.

I am planning on making a full post dedicated to what colors I am loving for fall. I have this all planned out in my head.. and the colors may be unusual, but I am so ready to work with them.

I want to badly to get started on new project, but I am being very strict with myself. I will not stop making this blanket, because IF I do, it will NEVER get made. It will fall in the pile with all the rest that I have tried to make then put away. I can't let myself do that. I have to finish this like my life depends on it.

You guys will help keep me accountable, right?
