On my shop blog a few weeks ago I posted about Craftgawker. A web site that features great photography of handmade items that are for sale. I just had my second item accepted!!! You can check it out at the site if you want, http://craftgawker.com/post/2009/08/29/4179/ or just look at it here. It's what I'm calling my 'Autumn Spice table runner'. It's another one of those things that I'm okay if it doesn't sell because that means I can keep it. I've decided that's the way to create things for the shop. Make things I'd love to keep then I won't feel bad if it sells and I won't feel bad if it doesn't sell. Okay, so enough of me bragging on myself. Thanks for looking and being patient with me.
By the way, my friend Amy let me borrow her living room and dining room and take these pictures at her house. She has great light, great furniture, and a clean house. Perfect for taking pictures! Thanks Amy!

It's beautiful, and I love the pictures of Mr. Man, We can't believe how grown up he looks. I couldn't find your email address, you'll have to send me it, but I just put the squash soup recipe here.
Butternut Squash Soup
6 Tbl chopped onion
4 Tbl butter
6 cups Butternut Squash
3 cups water
4 cubes chicken bouillon
1/2 tsp marjoram
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
2 pkgs cream cheese (8 oz)
Saute onions in butter till clear and sweet smelling, add everything else and bring to boil, then simmer for 20 minutes. If my squash isn't really ripe and sweet I, more than often than not, add a few tablespoons of brown sugar at this point too. But, if your squash is really ripe and yummy you don't always need too. You can always add it to taste at the end if you think it needs it. After it's done simmering you cream it together (using a blender or food processor) with the cream cheese and then add it back to the pot just to warm back up.
This stuff is so yummy, enjoy!
I don't know Carol, I may have to buy it! Love it! The kids look adorable.
