It's Autumn again!

​As the days become shorter and the nights become cooler, we begin to sense our energy is changing and so is the energy of the world around us. And so Autumn creeps in on the northern hemisphere bringing with it change and transformation. 

As an islander from the Caribbean, I have to admit the we cannot perceive as many of the visible transformations associated with Autumn in other parts of the world. There are normally only two seasons in tropical climates, a wet season and a dry season. For us, Autumn is the second half of the wet season. 

However, nature does give us clues that change is approaching, even in the tropics. Our bodies, that have acclimated to the strong heat of summer, suddenly tell us that the heat is not as intense. Those of us who frequent the beaches begin to notice that the ocean current feels strong.  Certain fruits and vegetables become available again, and their presence reminds us that we should begin collecting and storing produce for the end of the year festivities. 

But we are also influenced by the changes in colors occurring in other parts of the world. Specifically, here in Puerto Rico (a US commonwealth), the brighter colors of the summer months become replaced by the darker, jeweled tones of Autumn as they slip into our wardrobes and home décor.

Knowing that the cool and quiet calmness of Autumn, it is a favorite time of year for many people, I accepted the challenge of a request from a dear person to create a fall design that would also remind us of our Hispanic heritage.

​So, this month I offer you Llegó el Otoño, a crochet tapestry that can be converted into wall art, a wall hanging or a cushion. The possibilities are endless!! 

As always you can find the pattern here.

Autumn is the season that I enjoy the most. I believe that it is the best season when it comes to just relaxing. The entire year is too stressful for me, and I just spend my autumn relaxing. There are people who do not feel the same way, and this is just my personal preference. If we can go and enjoy the autumn season a lot more frequently, then that is what we should be doing. That is what I want to do.

    About 10 years ago I discovered that there was a crafty side to me. Since then, there have even been times when I considered taking up crafting as a full time job. But, I guess that is something I have heard most people who practice some craft say.  Someday... one day... Until then...  I guess I'll just blog about it. Thanks for being part of the crafty side of my life!
