Autumn crafts

Hello, friends!

Unfortunately, between work, a certification exam, and having out-of-town family visiting, my card making has fallen temporarily to the wayside. I was able to get in a little crafting, though, in preparation for company.  Here is one of two wreaths I made, inspired by a Pinterest pin, for my front doors:



Also inspired by Pinterest, I decorated some pumpkins with puffy paint dots, and displayed them on candlesticks that I already owned:





Then, I dressed my favorite reading corner with an autumn floral display (I have since switched out the pillow for one with "seasonal" color):



Autumn in SW Florida is more a state of mind than an actual season, so these little changes put me in that state of mind, and help to remind me that the Christmas season (my favorite!) is only about seven weeks away.  Now that I say that, I had better get back to my crafts!

Happy autumn,
Michelle

  1. I love the pumpkins! It's funny, though, because looking at all of those pics definitely made me miss being home and your decorative skills :-) It also made me think about how Dar loved coming to the house any time near a holiday because it always looked so festive.
