I am thankful for so many things!
My sovereign Savior,
my fabulous family,
my handsome husband,
my happy home, and
(I am SO ECSTATIC to add this to my list) my beautiful baby!
Happy Thanksgiving.
turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans with bacon, rolls, and apple cider. Yum!

After our visit to the orchard, I made my darling Brendan an apple crisp. It is one of his favorite fall treats.
It’s also a very simple one. Peeling the apples is the most arduous step.
I doubled the “crisp” part per Brendan’s request. It is yummy. I wish you could smell it!
Love,

I saw a recipe for caramel-stuffed apple cider cookies on Pinterest. Since this weekend really felt like fall, I decided it was a perfect time to try out the recipe.
Welcome to my Autumn celebration!
The banisters also have orange light strands wrapped with the leaves which are set on a timer.
Brendan and I have so many things to be thankful for: each other, our families, our jobs, and our beautiful house to name a few. This year we celebrated thanksgiving at home as a couple. It was wonderful.
the daisies are from Mom Sullivan
On Saturday Brendan and I took Duke for a walk on one of the many paths at McHenry Dam.

Over the weekend I sewed a fall apron.
The fabric is from Jo-Ann’s and I used a Simplicity pattern.
I’ve attempted my first block from the Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt book.
I’m pretty pleased with my results. There are a few seams that don’t quite line up, and I’m not completely happy with my decision to use a different print for the center pinwheel instead of the same fabric for the background, but I’m fairly content with my first attempt. My plan is to make a few different blocks with a selection of Fall-esque fabrics that will become a tablerunner. Time will tell. . .
Love,
Tiff
P.S. Fabric: center feather print fabric came from Portage Lake Quilt Shop in the U.P.; cream “lace” print is a FQ from Jo-Ann’s; red is possibly from Jo-Ann’s and a remnant of the quilt made for my mom; orange “kaleidescope” is a FQ from Jo-Ann’s
On Sunday I went apple picking for the first time. Brendan and I stopped at an orchard after church and picked a peck of red and golden delicious apples.
