Fall Themed Mini Album Titled Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice Featuring Supplies by Simple Stories
You’ll miss out on seeing some of the world’s most inspiring scenery if you sit at home on your couch during the month of September. This is the time of year when the trees are showing off their most splendid color schemes. If you have a park or a hiking trail nearby, you can feast your eyes as you go for a stroll. You’ll want to grab a friend and your phone or camera and take photos of the all the beauty that you encounter along the way.
Then you’ll want to document your memories in a scrapbooking layout or mini album.

September Art Projects
Reinterpreting Autumn — An Original Collage Painting by Amy Solovay
If mixed media art is your jam, why not make an abstract collage featuring fall colors? Pictured here is one possible idea you could use for inspiration, but there are zillions of possibilities beyond this one.
September Crochet Projects
Pictured above, you can see work-in-progress shots of the fingerless gloves I’ve been crocheting this month.
I am enthralled by this design and am planning to release a pattern for it soon. However, I’ve had a major setback with that, because my computer died earlier this month. Beyond that, my own personal projects are somewhat on hold while I help my husband with copywriting for his tech startup.
So this pattern release has come to a temporary standstill while I navigate those real-life issues.
The fingerless glove pattern is stuck in testing phase; I’m working my way through testing the design myself and fixing minor oddities in the pattern before sharing it with a broader group of pattern testers. If you’re interested in helping me test this pattern, please drop me a comment or contact me, and I will get you the details of the test as soon as they are available. In the meanwhile, please be patient with me. Thank you for your understanding.
