Something about Halloween puts my brain into over drive. Today I stopped by Hobby Lobby to pick up some last minute things for the wedding and I happened to walk by the fake flowers and got inspired to throw together a quick Halloween flower arrangement.
The only thing I needed to buy was 3 fake gerber daisys, grand total was less that $2. The other supplies were: paint (red and brown), paint brush, white glue, a hair tie, a vase and red food coloring.

It’s time to celebrate everybody! My new sponsor Soapy Layne has generously given me a $50 store credit to pass on to you!
Soapy Layne sells soaps, scrubs, perfumes and more; all made from high quality natural ingredients. The owner, Cassie, is a total sweetheart and send me a care package to help me relax before the wedding.
The items in the picture are what Cassie sent me, you get to pick your own stuff! And all of her stuff is very reasonably priced so $50 goes a long way.

While I’ve been busy NOT working on my wedding I’ve been brainstorming some Halloween Projects. I whipped up this fun little number in an evening. The style is loosely based on vintage penny rugs, small felt circles sewn together into larger mats. Of course I’m lazy so my circles are MUCH bigger and it goes together much faster. It also brings a slightly more modern feel to an old-school country style.

Part of the fun of growing your own food is picking different varieties to grow. Summer squash is a beautiful example. There is so much more out there than the basic green zucchini! Check out these little gems:

Have you ever walked into the fake floral aisle of Michael’s or HobLob or Joann’s and felt like fainting? I have. There are too many options and more often than not the aisle is a bit claustrophobic. I designed this tutorial to take the guess work out of using fake flowers in a wreath while also being change-able for different seasons and holidays. There is never enough room to store all the wreathes I want to make so I needed this to be useful for more than 2 months. Pick a bunch of flowers with different elements and colors, the great thing is they are all coordinated without any effort from you! Enjoy!

Wooooooooo…… That’s the sound I just made!
This wordpress thing is VERY different, but I think I might be getting somewhere, slowly. I decided to change up the look to go with my new host, I’ll have updated party buttons up soon.
Speaking of parties, I’ve joined up with some lovely ladies to host a Fall Party Series:
You can meet the other ladies at their blogs Second Chance to Dream, Jen’s Favorite Cookies and All Done Monkey
This week I fixed and finished some Autumn Applique Pillows
Fusible Applique Pillows
and shared some new fonts
One of them even made an appearance in the new header!
