Fall Wreath

Here is my fall wreath. It turned out a little bit puffy, but hopefully not too crazy!

Ocean Flag

I finished my flag for the ocean themed bathroom. I am still not in love with the stars, but starfish were around $4 a piece. The stars may change at a future date.

Here is the flag on the shelf in the bathroom. The things on the shelf are still evolving, but here it is for now.

Table Runner

Here is the table runner I did last month. It's just straight with a ruffle at each end.

Fall Table Square

I have big Island in my kitchen that needed fall decorations. Here is what I came up with. Mom had a pattern for a fall table runner. I made it square, changed the rows into blocks, added boarders....I guess the only thing I used from the pattern was the appliquéd pieces, but I love how it turned out. I appliquéd leaves and pumpkins with a raw edge and machine quilted it.

Week with Mom

Mom Came out for a visit last month and we had some project time. I wanted to share some of the things we did:

These pumpkin baskets we did not make, but we did get a really good deal on Michaels clearance and they are really cute!

Mom brought the wood for this cute Christmas stack for us to paint.

Next we have a Halloween door hanger. I have been wanting to do something like this for all of the seasons/holidays for a long time. Mom & Dad made the pattern and cut out the wood for me. We used some kind of covered wire to hand the wood and added black raffia for the bow.

The candy corn wreath was an unplanned project. We used a foam wreath, candy corn, ribbon, and Halloween bells. Mom and I both made one. I like how hers turned out better, but didn't get a picture before she left so I posted mine.

I am already planning projects for next year so I really hope mom can come again! Sisters can come too!

Witch Hat

I made a witch hat for a Halloween decoration. I had seen a few different ones at stores/boutiques and made one. It took me a few tries to get it right, but I finally did it :)

Pumpkin Pillow

I saw a pumpkin pillow made out of felt at JoAnn's and liked it, so I decided to make one. I did it more simple then the one I saw, but I like it. What do you think?

Place mat

This is what I bought at Walmart for $3. I am making my own version as a table runner. I am hoping to be done by the end of the week, but wanted to give you a preview. I hope mine turns out even better!

Fall Flower Arrangement

This is my first real attempt at a flower arrangement. I needed something to go on top of my cupboards in the kitchen for fall. I made three of them, so I hope they are not terrible.

Fabric Pumpkins

I like my fabric pumpkins. We changed them a bit from what we saw on u create. Adding a few more darts made them more pumpkin shaped.

Revised Wreath

Mom-thanks for suggesting that I add some color. I think it looks a lot better. Any other ideas?

Hanging Map Picture

Here is my foam board and scrapbook paper hanging map picture. I finally have something to fill this spot on my wall!

Grapevine Wreath

I'm not sure yet if I thing think this looks good or just crazy. Even after soaking the vines I couldn't get it to unroll enough to do a normal wreath, so I had to twist it around. I probably need fatter ribbon to hang it, but this is the best they had at walmart. Maybe it needs something else on it. Any suggestions??

Things??

I don't really know what to call these. I covered some tube containers with faux leather fabric. They have detachable lids. I just tied three of them together and put them on a plate. I'm not sure anyone else will like these, but they were fun - my own strange idea instead of one I saw somewhere else.

Candle Holders

This is the small version of the candle holders that dad cut for us. I don't have candles to put on them yet. It's hard to tell they are three different heights. You can't see it in the picture, but there is red paint under the black. The black paint was sanded on the edges so the red shows through.

Wedding Flowers

My dried wedding bouquet has been sitting around for years. I finally came up with something to do with it. Now I just have to decide where to put it.

Wall Decoration

Here it is. Meg and I saw something like this at Roberts for $20-$30. Dad cut the wood, put them together and sanded them for me. I painted and make the decoration. Hopefully they look alright.

Headboard

Today Jeremy and I made this headboard for our bed. We've been wanting to make one for a while now, and we finally did it. Dad had some extra wood from his patio, so he cut us the piece of wood, and we went and picked out the fabric. It was really easy to make. We still need to put something on the back so we can hang it up, but I couldn't wait to post it.
