As much as I’ve wished away some parts of this year, I’m
happy to see fall arrive. I love this time of year! October finds me winding things down outside
in the garden and soon enough, I’ll be turning my attention to indoor evening
activities. I can remember my Mom used to do needlepoint and embroidery almost
exclusively in the fall and winter months. While she did her best to teach me
to embroidery pieces as well as she did, my stiches were always rudimentary,
beginner level. I regretted not learning
this craft so I could teach my daughters, so when Fox Chapel Publishing invited
me to review this book, I happily agreed, so I can better my skills and help my
daughters learn how to embroidery animals too!

Have you ever been scrolling through your Instagram or Twitter feed and saw a beautiful aerial photo and wondered what type of equipment was necessary to capture that amazing shot? More often than not, the photographer used a drone. Drones are becoming fairly common in our lives these days with a host of professionals and hobbyists utilizing them. From wedding photographers to real estate agents, to everyday people like you and me; it seems the sky really is the limit on what a drone can help us capture. Today, I’d love to introduce you the DJ1 Mavic Mini Drone. This is an affordable option to help you create vivid aerial shots too.
I adore January for a multitude of reasons. My youngest daughter was born this month. Linens and home goods are on sale this month. I get to plan and organize a lot of things in January. Filling out new calendars and planners for the year is time well spent in my opinion. As I was organizing my stack of planners and notebooks, I noticed I had several craft and hobby books I needed to find a home for as well. That’s when I realized that unless I made time to be creative this month (and every month of the year), I would need to block out time to allow myself to enjoy hobbies and creative endeavors. January is the perfect time to be creative! Dust off one of your hobbies, or start a new one. Read on for some creative ideas.
