Recent Fall Fun

These are how my witch boots turned out. LOVE'M!

Is it weird that this wreath is hanging on my bedroom door? But these colors match my room perfectly.

A little detail makes the arch stand out more.

My scarecrow from last year. Made out of a glass shower block. It is amazing the fun things you can do with shower blocks.

My latest project: this is my huge wall going down the stairs and it was empty and I added this frame I painted red.

Then I added our own family word play. It turned out really cute and was harder than I thought it would be. But I am still not done with this wall....still more to come!

Fall Crafts

Fall is my favorite season and I couldn't wait to get out my decor and get some crafts going. I have heard about making these yarn balls with glue and balloons and have always wanted to try it. So I did. Lets just say that water balloons are very hard to blow up and pop easily, so dont use them. Also this red yarn was very thick and was not so easy to work with. Plus this is very messy so I only made four and now I can say that I tried it but if I ever do it again I will be doing it differently:)

This is a project I have been working on for a while and even longer in my head. It is our chore chart. I should have gotten a closer pic but the boys colored the little pic of the chores and I magnet them under their names. When they are done they hang them on the hook to the side. It turned out super cute but now I don't know where to hang it in my house! Should have thought about that 1st.

My old milk can got some fall flowers and ribbon plus a welcome sign to stick on my front porch.

My husband is awesome. I asked him for these crates one day and he jumped right on it! They turned out super cute, I just love them. And now that October is here I can't wait to get my Halloween out.

My fall wreath was sooo easy and fast. I went to the $ store and got a cheap wreath. Then I went to Walmart and bought the fabric squares for making things. I like these fabric squares cuz the colors are all ready matching and all put together. So I cut up the strips of fabric and tied them around the wreath. THAT IS IT! Took about 15 minutes to do and so I made two.
I have lots of other little projects I am working on in my home and in my mind. Hopefully I can get some more done soon!

October's Craft- Back to Crafting

I don't know about you but I think it feels like its time to get back into some crafting! My house is done, my baby is here, kids are back in school and it's going to be winter soon and lets face it, it's just time! I found some fun wood crafts from one of my favorites The Wood Connection. But if we know or see something fun that you would like to do then let me know. Also I have teamed up with Jessica Peck to do somethings together or she will do one and I will do one. We will just figure out things as we go and what we find. I also know that there are a lot of new gals that would probably be interested in coming and crafting but I don't have emails or numbers so please feel free to pass the word along.

I love Halloween so we are starting with that so I would like to do these cute witch boots. They will be $7.00 each boot so you can get one boot or a pair for $14.00. That includes all the paint, paper, wood, ribbon and all the additions. We will be making them some time the first week of Oct. I haven't got a date yet but we have to order these ahead of time cuz it is their busy time of year. So I need to know by this Sunday Sept. 4th if you would like to do this. So call/text me or email me.

Valentines Wreath

I found a couple of wreaths that would be really cute for Valentines Day. This one is made of cupcake papers just folded and pinned into a foam wreath shape.
I made one of the other wreaths I found and it turned out very cute. Plus it was really easy. Cut out 3 inch circles of felt. Fold the circle in half and fold again. Then pin the corner into a foam heart wreath. It takes a little time but it turns out very cute. You need about 3/4 of a yard of felt.

I added a little ribbon and I love it! I am still working on a pink one too!

Valentines Dinner

Our ward had a Valentines Dinner/Dance and I was asked to decorate a table. I might have got a little carried away but it was a lot of fun! This is my table. Thanks to Sarah for letting me barrow her white dinner plates and to Donna for the mirror.

The red salad plates I got at Kmart. Those little boxes I already had and filled with Hugs & Kisses with a thought on love. On the outside it says, "Fortune of Love." I also including another love thought where the seat assignment would be just for conversation or whatever. I have a whole book with love thoughts and I have always wanted to use it so this was my chance. The place setting is just black cardstock paper and the goblets I found at the $ store, along with the napkin ring. I added a little ribbon to each of those to dress them up a bit.

The glass tubes I already had. I filled them up with water and fake rose petals. Then added a little ribbon to those too. The glass rocks I also had but found them at the $ store. The table turned out beautiful.

Here are a couple other tables that were beautifully decorated for dinner.
