More Fall Decor

I am enjoying the cooler temperatures here in Southern Illinois. I love being able to have my windows open and turn off the air conditioner.
I made this little sign to hang on the front deck. I distressed it more than I usually do, but I like the way it turned out.


I added a little bow for decoration.
 

I can't wait to watch Glee tonight!  Do any of you watch Glee?

Wall Bucket

I’ve been busy working on Fall decor and I remembered I hadn’t shown you my wall bucket yet. I originally got two of these wall buckets at a yard sale for free and I used one for Christmas last year, but hadn’t touched the other one. Here is the before..

It was in pretty rough shape.
And the after….


I painted it brown and rubbed some stain on it and it turned a wonderful copper color.

I picked the weeds out of my yard this morning. Yes I need to mow the yard…  I don’t know what they’re called, but I’ve been calling them cat bait since the cats wont leave them alone.

Ghosts and Ghouls

I broke out my fall decor box the other day and realized that I didn’t have nearly enough fall and Halloween decorations. I pulled out a board I had laying around and went to town on it. I love the way it turned out.


The board already had the holes in it, so I strung the ribbon through them and tied it in a knot.


This was my first attempt at making little rosettes, but I really like them.


I was a little lazy and used elmer’s glue at first.

Great Deals

My parents came to town this past weekend to do a little shopping. My mom needed some fabric for a baby quilt she is making so we headed to Hobby Lobby.  I made my way over to the sale aisle and was a little disappointed. Usually they have a whole aisle full of stuff on sale, but this time it was really bare. I did find a couple of items that I loved though.

I found this cross for 1.50. It was originally 15.00.

I also found this angel wing for the same price. I love this piece because it can be hung on a wall or you can sit it on a table.

I love how this piece looks old and perfectly aged.

Is it weird that it’s not even Fall yet and I spent last night making a totally cute Christmas wreath?? I hope not …

Fall Subway Art

I made a stop at the Goodwill the other day and found some small canvases. They weren’t really my taste, but I knew I could paint them and they were only 1.58. I think they originally came from Target.

I cannot wait for Fall, it’s my favorite season, so I decided to make some Fall art.

I painted the canvas white and used the leftover part of some scrapbook stickers for a template. I mixed up some orange and green paint for the letters and then applied some watered down stain over the whole thing.


Sorry for the blurry pic…


I tried to put in things that I think of when I think of Fall.
Dairy Days is the fall festival in my home town.

I love going to haunted houses!
