New Fall/Autumn decorations!

Today I made some new fall/autumn decorations! I got the idea from...wait for it...Pinterest!!! Surprise, surprise! I am not sure what to call them because they can be used for some many things. Here is a picture of the finished product.

They were actually pretty easy to make once I got the hang of it! I took some candlesticks and bowls (not sure what else to call them) and hot glued them together. I used my Cricut to cut out the word autumn from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge and I loved it! I put designs on the back as well using the same cartridge!

The pumpkin was so cute I just had to use it and the little acorns added just the right finish I thought. The orange one doesn't have a lot going on on the back, I am not sure what to add to it yet! Right now I have a votive in one and another little candle holder and a tea light in the other. The tealight is sitting on some fake leaves. But you can also fill them with some fake leaves and other fall like things. Like this: (Excuse the lighting, they reflect the flash so bad that this was the only way to take the picture.)

I got the leaves, gourds, candlesticks and bowls from the Dollar Tree! Super inexpensive since I already had the vinyl that I used to cut the word and accents with! Now to find a place for them!!

No Sew Blanket

I made my first no sew blanket today! I am behind on most things that other crafty people have been doing but I finally got some fabric and made my little guy one! It was actually more of a pain in the butt then I thought it would be. I finally stopped all the measuring that was in the directions. So my fringes are not all 1" or 4" long but Jackson likes it! Here are some pics of the progress and then Jackson enjoying his new blanket!

 

I had to cut that wording off the fabric before I could begin. I have no idea why it was there but it was not attractive.

I can NOT cut straight! Haha! 

Fall

I am way late in discovering Pinterest but since I have, Holy Cow!! I am addicted, seriously in need of rehab! And now that Fall is on its way here I can not wait to recreate some of the things that I have seen! I have not been able to restrains myself from putting up my fall stuff. I held off until yesterday but I lost it after that! Everything I have is up! Sadly it isn't much, I need some more stuff!

This morning I woke up and walked out onto the front porch and it was slightly chilly!!! I was beyond excited to feel the coolness in the air. I didn't even care that is was rainging AGAIN! I know it won't last and the humidity will be back soon but this morning was glorious! To bad it isn't time for fall in NC yet! Soon enough though!!
