We are gearing up for our Fall craft show season. We don't go crazy with craft shows, but we do have a couple dates on our calendars. We'll tell you about those dates in just a bit. So that means that we
are should be sewing like crazy. We've got coin purses, wristlets, totes, pillows and coasters on the brain. Our sewing rooms are beginning to look like Christmas. Well, sort of. That means we've been on the lookout for a new style of tote for our fall season. We've each made a new pattern, and we would like for you to vote on your favorite.

Today is also the start of our favorite college team's football seasons. Joy lives in Champaign, IL and is a huge fan of the Fighting Illini at University of Illinois. Basketball is more the sport of choice for her, and she is suffering through the football season. Jan lives in Columbus, OH and is a huge fan of The Ohio State University Buckeyes. Jan's household prefers football and suffers through basketball season. It gets a little dicey when our teams play each other. Sometimes on our visits to each other's houses, the unsuspecting homeowner will find the opposing team's stickers all over the place. It's only amusing if you're the one who has hidden the stickers. hehe
