the blue blog archives: i love october

This October is gonna be great! The leaves are changing, the baseball playoffs are beginning (which means the Sox still have a chance to win it all!), I'll be taking a fun quilt class, there's Rhinebeck, and of course, Halloween.

To celebrate the start of this month packed full o' fun, I cut out the funnest pieces of B's batman costume. That's the wings (awesome!), the mask, the boot covers and the fab belt with bat applique. This evening I get to cut out shark teeth and fins! October rules.

I agree - October is the best when you've got little kids.

I love October too, but honestly, I'm already sick of baseball.

How about being a little charitable toward the poor Cubs fans? It's been 100 years. (And it seems the White Sox are in it too - but we Cubs fans are really rooting for the Cubbies.)

I love October also! This is my first year as a parent, but no homemade costume this year (maybe next!) I think it's neat how you make their costumes every year.

I'm with ya, Donna. There's lots of good teams to root for this year.

Um, Kat, sick of baseball? I do not understand. ;0)

I love October! The cooler air and the colors of fall...does it get any better? I wish I was still young enough to go Trick or Treating though. I would totally be Batgirl :)

YEP I'm with Melissa - love the fall - the changing leaves - the slightly spicy scent in the air.
And nothing can compare to the color of light late in the day just before sunset in October. For anyone who like to take photos of nature, it's the best time of all. It's my favorite month by far. Halloween is just the icing on the cake.
