Oh, wow! And I thought August went fast!
For the past few years, when the weather begins to change and fall comes knocking on summer's door, I get to feeling super crafty. Especially now that I have a house to decorate; this year is no exception. Last year I made a little wreath with floral picks of berries and leaves from the Hob Lob. This year, I added some pinecones and acorns in as well. The great thing I decided to do is use the basic twig wreath form over and over again by not attaching anything with hot glue. I used the form in the spring to make a dotty wreath with fabric circles and a fabric covered "P." I don't know how, but I managed to not get a picture of it the entire time I had it up. But fall is calling my name again.
I just used floral wire to attach everything so I can take it right off! Then I store it in the off season. The pinecones hid the wire quite nicely. Everything else is flexible so you can tuck and move to hide or expose wherever you need.
Not too bad for a little homemade wreath. It took no time at all. I think I want a bigger one next year!
I was lucky to be a part of my good friend Jananna's baby shower this past weekend. I think Jananna and her husband Gerry are going to be great parents, and I was glad to help out! Look at this super cute owl cake, it was exactly like the invitations.
I helped Amber, of Southern Comforts with the Gardners, and Megan do the food and drinks for the shower. It turned out beautifully, and was quite yummy if I do say so myself.
Look at these cutie patootie favors that one of Jananna's friends made! They are Rice Krispie treat balls on sticks, dipped in chocolate!
Love these girls!
And no, Mom and Nanny, as much fun as it was to give a baby shower and buy cute little baby things, I think it won't go any farther than that for Daniel and I...at least for a few more years. :)
Happy fall! Are you feeling crafty as well?
