Today began with a long to-do list, and at the top of it were all the things I didn't get done yesterday. I've made enough progress, though, to stop and smell the roses - or admire the zinnias, as the case may be. I am almost positive I did not order orange zinnia seeds, because I'm not a huge fan of orange flowers. Correction: I once was not a huge fan of orange flowers. I love these. They're perfect for adding a little touch of fall. They've gone from the 'mistake' category to 'must have.'
One of the items on the to-do list that I was hoping to get to was pulling out some fall fabrics to make fabric bundles for my Etsy shop. This is a hunt scene from a piece of feedsack. Very fall-like.
I've gotten as far as picking a few fabrics - some of these are feedsack, and some are old dress prints, and I love the way they all bring out the best in each other.
And the OTHER item on my to-do list is picking two winners for the Halloween giveaway. The magic random number generator selected Pattie Ealy and Melissa's Antiques. Pattie and Melissa, e-mail me your address, (my e-mail is brstith ((at)) verizon.net) and I'll put some scary stuff in the mail to you. Thanks to all who left a comment!
I bet zinnias would have survived our terrible drought summer. Love the orange blooms. Happy Fall!

Hmm...not even my zinnias made it through our summer. Yuck. Looking forward to getting wonderfully lush mums soon. Maybe orange? Great fabric...smiles...Renee

I feel your pain with the zinnias. I ordered RED and when they came up they were multi-colors and much smaller than what I had planned on.
Oh well, they are still pretty, yours and mine!

The zinnia is just stunning but I am SO not ready to let go of Summer yet. It is still quite warm here but I'm already missing the long days...

I share your love for zinnias and the orange one is fantastic! I love at least one butter yellow in each bouquet with chartreuse being a close second.
