I kept seeing this iDye at my local art store and was curious about it. The name is a bit annoying, but the packaging is beautiful and there is a really great range of colors to choose from. So! I tested it out (on the stove, not in the washing machine) and was really happy with the results!

One of my favs...

There is a series on PBS right now called Craft in America.
It is really great and would encourage anyone to try and catch an episode or two, or watch them online.

I think people sometimes associate the word "craft" with hobbies that can be easily picked up at a local chain store. This is absolutely not true. I have found myself waking up to what this world really is, and finding that I am slowly moving straight towards it. It is about making something handmade, unique, inspirational, but also useful. Pottery, printing, textiles, building instruments, making baskets, furniture making...it is all around us. It is worth taking a second look and really understanding the importance of this in our world today.

"Listen!
the wind is rising,
and the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings,
now for October eves!"
-Humbert Wolfe

I love fall, especially October. Makes me happy for scarves, jackets, boots, layers. And of course all of the beautiful leaves. Some of my favorite items for fall. Not that I can really afford any of it!

Beautiful photography by Erin Tyner.
I especially like her "Half Awake" series.

So I recently discovered Polyvore and how you can create looks...and let's just say it has kept me busy! Here are three looks that I came up with this morning!

this is so awesome! I have been figuring out what I can do without each month (food, gas, coffee...well, maybe not coffee) in order to get these pencils!
