Fall Is Here!

I love Fall! It's one of my favorite seasons, next to Winter, Spring, and Summer!  ;-)

It's a crisp cool feeling. 

I've used warm colors to make this "WELCOME" sign that is on my front porch.

"Suitcases" Stacked & Turned Into Table

These are "faux" suitcases I purchased at various nearby craft stores.  The old vintage ones—and who doesn't have any, are still in our garage that are way too high for me to get to. Of course TonyB, thinks I already have too much stuff in the house—what husband doesn't, so I won't ask him right now. 

Anyway, what do these faux suitcases have to do with sewing you ask? Well, aside from the functionality of stacking them to use as a table, as well as being aesthetically pleasing; inside are various sewing stuff, such as fabric stash, ribbons, and anything that has to do with, well sewing! "Sew" cool—right!?

I really have to be creative in hiding putting my sewing stash elsewhere around the house, since my sewing room, spare bedroom, 3-car garage, and old original garage converted into another spare room, that I'm not sure what to call it, are already full!

These are pretty boxes that I stacked...

...and covered to use as another table.

Decoupaging Empty Wine Bottles

I really like some of the beautiful designs on napkins that I come across at stores. In fact, I buy them with the intent to use them to decoupage. What else would you want to use them for? To me, they are way too pretty to use as napkins. Here are some samplings on wine bottles. I've decoupaged other things as well that I'll show next week.

Whimsical or Shabby Chic Decor for a Little One's Birthday Party

I made this whimsical decoration for my beautiful little granddaughter for her one-year birthday party at a park. The banners, including the one with her name, was made using Sizzix dies.

After, I brought this home to keep in my yard for a while.
