Seaons of JOY!

Fireplace Mantels and Staircases are a few of my favorite places to decorate fo the Holidays!

How about you?

There's just something great about the warmth and coziness of a Fireplace!

Now, if we could only use our Fireplace a little more often!

Maybe in the month of December on Chrismas Day??

I can hardly wait.....!

Light a candle, add glowing twinkling lights....

Let's stay HOME!

Forget Football, Wrestling, Violin, Piano, and the list goes on....

Let's enjoy some FAMILY TIME at HOME!

What's for dinner?

Speaking of dinner....

A Table Runner with a lot of pumpkin personality

 is on it's way to a sweet lady in Texas!

I wonder what she'll be fixin for dinner?

Can we come over?

I love her enthusiasm for the season!

"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." =)

PUMPKIN HAPPINESS PART II

When you look around and see the beauty of the season.

You can't help but think of a higher power above.

The colors, and textures of this beautiful world are truly amazing!

How fortunate we are to ENHANCE AND CREATE the BEAUTY around us!

There is something magnificent about the seeds of life.

We plant seeds every day.

We nourish, enrich and teach.

We help others to grow!

Look around you today, look at the beauty around you.

Find the goodness in everyone and everything!

Perhaps, you will see Pumpkins, you will be touched by their

color and natural beauty.

Bring the beauty inside and share the HAPPINESS!

Sprinkles Of Fall!

Candy Corn Tutorial

Fall Inspiration is everywhere!

It's a beautiful time of year!

I felt inspired to add a little sprinkle of sunflowers to my Fall/Halloween Twigs.

Do you remember my Halloween twigs?

The colors of Fall are my all time favorite!

How about you?

I can't believe October will soon be here!

 Welcome Fall!  Let's celebrate!

I will share with you a

little Halloween pillow for a little Halloween chair.

A Candy Corn Pillow Tutorial
and a few Halloween Quilts!
Come Along!

If you are learning to sew, pillows are a great project to start!

Turn it in all directions, upside down, sideways, it all works!

This little Halloween pillow is embellished with a ruffle and beaded trim.

Simple to make!

Candy Corn is a pretty important accessory to Fall!

I felt inspired to make a few candy corn pillows!

Yesterday.....

I found my sewing/crafting room, I even found the counter tops, along with that I found

beautiful fabric colors for candy corn!

Wahoo!

Here is how I made CANDY CORN PILLOWS!

Select three fabrics- colors of candy corn

Draw a pattern on a file folder or card stock,

fold in half, cut to desired shape 

determine the size of your three colors

Cut two of each color

Sew three fabrics right sides together

Press!

Repeat for the back side of Candy Corn

Pin right sides together

 sew around candy corn,

 leave a opening at the bottom(base of candy corn)

clip corners and press

Turn and firmly stuff!

You are finished!

CREATE a basket full of CANDY CORN!

Sprinkle your tables, mantel, shelves with a little bit of candy corn happiness!

Enjoy!

Wishing you a Sweet Day!
