Don’t get me wrong, I have been busy. I jogged for 15 minutes last week.
But after seeing all of you Instagram pictures of the autumn
trees, post your pumpkin recipes and pin your ideas for the latest and greatest
painted pumpkin, I decided I should put
down the bottle (of cough medicine) and get to work. So I set out to craft as many Fall themed crafts
I could possibly manage in one weekend.
So I pushed through my sore throat (I don’t just drink cough syrup
for fun people) and went to my local craft store for a couple of feathers and
burlap. As I was checking out the sales
girl repeatedly told me how lucky I was that they actually had burlap in stock. Apparently some Pinterest wreath is causing a
burlap shortage everywhere. I think my
wreath is going to cause the same phenomenon.
I sewed some fabric and burlap flowers, cut out burlap
leaves, gathered a wreath, found coordinating twine, heated up my hot glue gun
and set out to work.
I’m not sure if it was my fever breaking, or me just being
dramatic about the gorgeous outcome… but I have chills!
Join me tomorrow to see how I made a painted Fall banner for
my mantel using a vintage map and twine.
