I hope everyone is enjoying a bit of fall weather.  We’re in Florida and just starting to feel a cool breeze which makes me want to dig out a sweater or two from the back of my closet. {I might only own two!}  It’s the time of year to start thinking about cozy little projects for yourself and handmade gifts for the holidays.  No worries…these simple tutorials create some cute handmade creations in no time at all.
