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!
