(if you don't mind.) He is out there staying with friends, keeps looking on craigslist,but says no one is answering him...did you go to a realtor? thanks for any info/advice. Your bits blog is a joy to read, even to an old fashion hound living in nj. :-) jani Hi Tricia,

This week I was inspired by your years of praising the yo-yo and I can say that you made a believer out of me! They are just so simply sweet and satisfying to make!

Everyday I check to see your updates - I havent found anything so inspiring for ages. I'm so envious that you have a workroom - I dont have space to stash anything let alone my ever-growing yarn collection, its a distant dream at the moment but one that keeps me going ;-) x Lulu I still read it!

The leaves have changed in many places, I got a pumpkin for my front steps, I'm working on some thrummed mitts that I can't wait to wear...I made pumpkin muffins last night and got out some Halloween decorations. I love this time of year in general. Also, I know what you're saying about riding to the grocery store. It's about a 5-6 minute walk for me and although I do walk sometimes (and love doing it), if I have to get anything too heavy I take my scooter. But it feels so "real" living close enough to do that. This is my first comment on your blog for some reason but I have been reading for a while. Love it! Inspired….October just got here and it is infusing everything in sight!

I'm inspired by the stop-motion animation film "Blood Tea and Red String" and am trying to go for a darkly ethereal [heh, if that is possible!] feeling/look this season. I’m giddy for fall right now.

So many of the things that are inspiring you right now are inspiring me!! :) I can't wait to see that high-waist skirt you're making. :) I went on a high-waist skirt buying binge last year at thrift stores; I got some awesome skirts from the 1980s that way. :D I just love the look; I tend to wear it with a partially unbuttoned oxford-style shirt. ;) A little naughty, a little nice. *giggle* Other things that are inspiring me: - Deep, intense "spice" colors; gold, burnt ocher, orange, cinnamon, sage... Must be the change in seasons... - 1840s fashion plates. For some odd reason I'm drawn to the rather stuffy/constricting looking gowns right now. Something about all the ruffles, trims and primness. Perhaps this is foretelling a new fashion direction for me? lol.

It's an immense amount of fun being on wardrobe_remix. And I am flattered that others find what I put together interesting. Ha. I am glad to hear the move went well. And I look forward to seeing this high-waisted skirt since (as you know) I am a huge fan of high waists. Oh goodness, well thanks so much, Tricia.
