This week was a bit of blur.

I worked on the holiday minibooks (that should launch at the beginning of November) and I have started thinking about holiday crafts. (Other than the quilts, that is.) I want to bring back a little bit of "handmade holiday" to the blog this season and will be making a few little holiday decor items (and crossing off many more materials!). I'm totally excited and because I subscribe to the "when inspiration strikes, strike back!" theory, I am already making lists, sketching and cutting stars out of felt. The early start means that for sure I will be totally over Christmas decorations by December 17th, but it is what it is.

This weekend : we are going to carve pumpkins. We are going to watch football. We (okay, me) will be making progress on the quilts. The last disc of season seven of How I Met Your Mother just arrived, so we'll be watching that. It's 75* outside, but we'll just pretend it's fall.

Next weekend : is the Queen Bee Market! Saturday, 10/27 from 9-3 at the Aliso Viejo Conference Center! I'll be at my booth all day (hopefully with Paul bringing me snacks) and selling stamps. Hope to see you there.

Have a good one.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in Northern California with my husband and our two daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.
