An autumn festival (already scheduled, just need to ask off) with my grandparents
Join in on our family Ladies Shopping Day; I have only been able to join on show-and-tell the last few times. We’ve tried to have 1-2 shopping days with the ladies in Mom’s extended family where we shop at antique stores and consignment shops with a break for lunch and an end of day after snack and show-and-tell showcasing our finds at the end. So much fun.
Spend lots of time with my niece and take lots of good photos. Since I’ve gotten a new phone, I’ve gotten some photos and videos, mostly videos. It’s more fun just to talk to her and watch her though.
Maybe a autumn hiking trip. No.
Buy all my planning stuff for next year. I bought some, not the fun stuff though and that after fall
Read tons more: Participate in Classics Club dare and read 5 more from list. I did read a ton more, just not much from the Classics Club although I did start War and Peace.
Work on blog development a bit (Genesis, IP, spam, disclosure). No.

Make a serious dent in my knitting stash. No, but I’ve done a little at using up some odd balls and leftovers by making one bonnet for my niece as well as two more in different sizes and starting a fourth plus a bit for Christmas.
Knit at least one sweater and sweater dress for me
Baby sweaters, rompers, sweater dresses. I finished my niece’s shrug and just started her sweater dress, after Christmas
Socks for me
Baby socks
Dress up as Audrey Hepburn from How to Steal a Million for Halloween. Maybe next year.
Start working on regency outfit. No, I could have at least make some mock-ups, I have plenty of scraps/muslin for some of that, but I lacked the motivation.
