Hi friends, I'm in the middle of a crafting whirlwind right now, and I'm hoping that soon the glitter dust will settle so that I can take some photos of finished products to share with you. In the meantime, I've also been thinking about what's next on my crafty to-do list...

• I love Blair's Sunshine Medallions Quilt and now the pattern is available for download. I know that not everyone is keen on paying for patterns like this, but in my mind, having someone else do the math is priceless. I don't want to waste my precious crafting time with a calculator in hand. Yay!
• Have you seen the new "Deep Fall" issue of Knitty? So much goodness, just in time for knitting season.
• This "Create a Handmade Life" necklace that Lisa Leonard designed for the Creative Connection conference is pretty sweet. They're available for a limited time only.
• WhipUp is in the midst of a guest blogger series. There's so much to look at – check it out!
