Fall. Autumn. Whatever you want to call this time of year, it’s still my favorite! The weather turns cooler, the days a little shorter and all of a sudden craft shows, street fairs and pumpkin patches start springing up everywhere!

And maybe it’s because we can see Christmas and the gift-giving season in the distance, but this time of year makes me want to make something!

I spend all year gathering a list of little knick knacks and gifts I want to make for my friends and family. Turned pens made from exotic woods. Desktop clocks with encouraging quotes. Tons of other items that, if history is an indication, will never be made.

I do hope to break that repeating historic pattern this year! It’s not too late – in fact the time is perfect! The time is now!

Do you like to give hand-made gifts? Do you sew, quilt, paint, woodwork, throw pottery or something completely different?

What will you be making for your loved ones this year?

Aside from meeting and getting to know the wonderful and talented artists who use Fashenhues products, one of the most fun aspects of Fashenhues is the development of new colors we add to our lines!

There are so many beautiful colors around us, how can we choose just a few? It’s not easy, let me tell you! Warm colors, bright colors, earthy colors…

We’d love to hear from you! What colors do you feel Fashenhues is missing from the line-up? Maybe that S-45 Harvest Moon isn’t quite harvest-y enough? Perhaps that pesky S-32 Royal Purple isn’t quite pulling of the regal look you’re going for?

Not just Translucents either. What Luminescent or Metallic color(s) would you like to see added to the Fashenhues catalog?

Let’s hear from you in the Comments below!
