Fall!!!

Fall is well on its way!!! Yeah!!!! Fall is my favorite season. Love the leaves changing, the crispness of the air, chilly mornings and evenings. Can do without the wind that seems to be prevalent here in New Mexico though.

Fall here brings Balloon Fiesta. Its the best time of year for the Albuquerque Box but the weather makes it a little iffy. I think they ended up canceling everything today because of the wind and possibility of rain. We went last Saturday and the luckily the weather was nice. Not much of the box though. Most of the balloons that morning landed north of the park.

The only bad thing about going to Balloon Fiesta is that to see the Mass Ascension you have to get there early. We usually have to get up at 4-4:30 AM. DH always wants to leave no later than 5 AM. Its awfully early for a Saturday for me!! And it's usually pretty cold. But once we get there, I am very happy that I went. We get mini cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate. Warms ya up real nice. :0)

My husband and daughter went with my sister-in-law and her family yesterday. I think this was their first Balloon Fiesta. They evidently had a blast. My nephew loved the Darth Vader balloon. This was the second year for that balloon. They have guys dressed as Storm Troopers too. I did not get any pictures of them though.





My daughter's favorite (and mine) are the bees. Sophia also like the pink elephant and Airabelle the cow. She loved the really big strawberry.















Fall is also good knitting and crochet weather. I also start thinking about what to make for the holidays. There is just so much out there to knit and crochet. Slowly making a small dent in my stash. Will be trying to take some pictures of the projects that I have finished over the summer. I have finished a pullover hoodie for my niece. Turned out pretty good. I used Yarn Bee Angel Fleece. It works up really nice and soft but it's a hard yarn to work with. Trying to use up what I have. Will probably not work with again except to maybe do trim with. It's really hard to crochet with. It is impossible to see the stitch that you are trying to go in. Easier to knit with but not by much. But the hoodie turned out cute and I think Cesca will like it.

Now I am going to work on finishing up a couple of bags that I had started. One I needed to get more yarn. The other one I needed the hardware. Have all of that and will finish them up shortly.
