Much of blogland seems to be ready for Christmas as soon as Halloween is over;) But Autumn is my favorite time of year and Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and I want to savor them for as long as possible! So, I’m still decorating and photographing leaves and pumpkins and am not quite…
Are you “pumpkin-ed” out? Or can you stand one (or two) more pumpkin tutorials? This quilted pumpkin tutorial is easy and makes a really unique fall decoration. Also, a reader asked me how to make the velvet pumpkin that I used in one of my fall décor tutorials. So, I added that tutorial to the…
Who’s ready to exercise their creative muscles? Oh, good! Then come take a look at my latest project. I just completed three pieces of pumpkin artwork that I made while watching an eCourse by Amanda Hilburn at The Little Bluebird Gallery (I’ll put a link to it at the bottom of this post). By the…
Fall always means decorating in warm colors. Right? Not so fast, red, yellow, and orange. This year, I’m easing into fall decorating with cooler colors. It’s been so warm where I live and the flowers are blooming and the grass is still green. The warm colors of fall just seem out of place right now….
Does it feel like fall where you live? Is your front porch or yard already decked out or are you a procrastinator like me? It’s finally starting to cool off in my neck of the woods. Yay! I’ve been itching to get my front porch decorated. But before the décor, came the cleaning….and now you…

Can walking the aisles of the craft store be considered therapy? It is for me! Ok, second question… Do you have any of those papier mache or foam fruits/vegetables; like maybe a pear, an apple, or a pumpkin? I had a boring pear that I have no idea why I continued to hang onto. It was…
I love home decor magazines and catalogs. It’s an “I-can’t-pass-them-up and I-read-them-cover-to-cover” kind of love 🙂 As much as I enjoy reading blogs and perusing through Pinterest, there’s just something about beautiful photos that are printed on actual paper. Anyway, I received a Grandin Road catalog in the mail and spied some candle rings covered…
Spring has sprung….at least according to the calendar. Of course, those of you who are still getting snow aren’t feeling it quite yet. (My house about 2 weeks ago.) It seems like around the end of February, we all start getting spring fever. We start looking forward to getting out of our sweaters and getting…
Yesterday I showed pictures of my romantic fireplace mantel. I also decorated one other spot in my house for Valentine’s Day. I have a cabinet in my dining room that lends itself to changing up the decor for the seasons….
The only major holiday decorating I usually do is during Christmas. But I just can’t help myself when it comes to making some little changes in my decor for the minor holidays and for the changing of the seasons. So, for the month of February, I added a little romantic flair to the fireplace mantel….
I ran across these cute pillows while browsing on Pinterest. I found out that they are sold by Anthropologie. Then I found out that they cost $148 per pillow. Uh, that’s a little out of my price range for a pillow. So, like any good DIY’er would, I decided to make my own version of Valentine’s…
