Procrastination

It has been like a thousand degrees for over a month or something crazy. I’m ready for Fall. The sad thing is that the leaves are falling off the trees for want of water. Not Fall.

I try to hold off on getting too into Fall because down here in Houston there is not much Fall at all (read no Fall but pretend Fall). And frankly my heart aches for Fall. So I try to ignore Fall. But then Pottery Barn sends a catalog with cute Autumnal decorations. (Darn you Pottery Barn.)

So today instead of this:

I came up with this paper pieced pumpkin, rather than do what I was supposed to be doing. 

Because I really do like Fall and if the weather could go ahead and tone it down a notch or two, that’d be great. I will declare it Fall and celebrate when the mercury just reaches 95 for the high. (Sad right?)

Now, the question. What shall I do with it? I’m trying to come up with a runner for my entry table/console/sideboard thing. On the positive, I do have a while to make it seeing as how Fall never really shows up anyways. 🙂
