I started this blog several years ago after some pretty tough times turned everything in my world gray. I felt like I was living in one of those old black and white movies I love so much. Getting lost in their dark plot lines and pithy dialog was always entertaining, however existing in a reality without color, was not.

Want a handmade pumpkin pillow for fall, but don't want to pay the high price for one? Yeah, me neither. Come check out my DIY and make one yourself. This weekend, I went on a fall crafting binge and whipped up a few items to decorate my house for the upcoming autumn holidays and the season in general. Since I'm very frugal when it comes to home decor and very lazy when it when comes to creating, all my projects were cheap and easy. Including today's DIY ~ a hand painted pumpkin pillow. Now wait.

Don't throw them away...turn those old ceiling fan blades into cute ghosts and pumpkins for Halloween. Recycle and decorate all in one super easy step. Check out these cute creations. Like most people, I have a love/ hate relationship with the internet. This time of year however, it's mostly all about the love, especially as a crafter.

Make a super easy wooden farmhouse sign. No fancy painting, woodworking skills or cutting machine required!  When it comes to home decor decisions, once I pick, I generally stick. Sure, I swap out little things, accessories and a few seasonal pieces from time to time, but for the most part, I tend to stand by my choices for the long haul. Well, last week, I finally made a change in the kitchen . I whipped up a brand new wooden farmhouse sign And let's just say, it was about time.

So. Today, I am going to step out of my comfort zone and share a little video of my kitchen with you. I know that video is all the rage and while I am not adverse to speaking in public ~ I actually possess a degree in it ~ I much prefer to communicate via the written word and stills. 

It's fall! Yup, there's an exclamation point there folks. I know, I know, I have been sharing my sadness about the end of summer for weeks, so it's unexpected see me so excited about the season. What turned this frown upside down? Decor. Any chance to decorate makes me smile and now that the weather has started to turn a bit, it seemed appropriate to whip out the pumpkins.
