My Little Cub Scout

So, I just have to tell you how proud I am of my little man, Sean. He is an official Cub Scout now! He just earned his Bobcat Badge last night, which is the first of many patches he will be earning. I am actually in awe of the number of achievments and patches that the boys can earn - I had no idea!

This is a picture of him selling popcorn in front of Sunflower Market. Popcorn is the Boy Scout equivalent of Girl Scout Cookies, which is to say their biggest fundraiser of the year.

He's really enjoying all the activities and just loves getting to wear his uniform. So cute!!

Go Wildcats!!!

So for the first time ever, we have season tickets to the University of Arizona Wildcats football games this year. So exciting! We used to go more when I was in college (and sit in the cheap student section!) but we decided to really make an effort to go to the games this season.
This past Saturday night, Derrick, Sean, me, and my dad went to the game. And what a game it was, as our Wildcats upset Iowa 34 to 27!

This picture shows Sean while he was still happy and awake. Poor guy fell asleep on the bleachers as the game stretched on into the night!

Pumpkin Cottage

For those of you who have been waiting, here is the full picture of Pumpkin Cottage! I hope you all like it, as it is a very "cottage" take on a fall design. I'm a big fan of using lighter colors in fall decorating, but I'm sure that doesn't really surprise anyone! The patterns for this design are being shipped today so you can look for them to appear at your LNS either later this month or early October. And for all the details about the pattern, head on over to my website.

Sneak Peek!

For everyone who is ready for a little taste of fall, here is a sneak peek of Pumpkin Cottage! This design will be shipping to distributor's in a couple of weeks, so look for it in shops towards the end of this month. I will also post a complete picture of the design in a couple of weeks, so keep a look out!

Even here in the Tucson desert we can tell that fall is approaching, as our evenings and mornings have (thankfully!) begun to cool down a bit.
