Felty goodness

Still feeling that FALL itch out here - and while today is a cool day breezy anyway - it definitely hasn't changed the seasons - which is a total bummer. But once again, to keep me in the spirit of Autumnal bliss I have been playing with felt to try and beautify my home for the holidays...
I took some lovely felt that I bought in Missoula, Montana...at a sweet fabric store

 

and cut out some random shapes of what I think look like leaves or feathers

 

then went to my machine and sewed them up stringing them along

then added them to my muslin wreaths that I decorate for the different holidays with my craftiness.

 

 

I think it looks good but needs something more...

my head is already turning

 

and of course had to add a saying to my welcome chalkboard.

 

I doesn't take much to get crafty and make some awesome coolness. Scraps of felt, some needle and thread, a touch of color can make the difference

 

I am linking this up to the Monday and Tuesday links up at the tab on top.

 

Here's to easy Holiday crafting..

Pumpkin make-over

Awhile back I made some fun pumpkins for a Halloween Craft Boutique I was participating in. I made them using various fabrics including chenille, velvet and some linen. I topped them with moss and added a fun tag. They were a huge hit so I decided to make some for the Thanksgiving holiday. So here is my transformation of Halloween pumpkins into

Fall decorative pumpkins.

 

 

 

I had this wreath I purchased from a thrift store for 99 cents that was covered in mini acorns and leaves and knew it had to come home with me...

these acorns are easily cut with some wire cutters

 

 

I made some more fabric pumpkins and added larger drift wood type stems used some

moss then took the leaves from the wreath and some of the acorns and adorned the pumpkins

with them and wah-la new lovely AUTUMN DECOR.

 

I think they add just the right amount of fall accents and I didn't add the tag this time

since I want them to be able to move around the house this time.

 

here are my sweet lovelies in all their splendor.

 

Aren't they sweet?

best part is that I still have more acorns and leaves left to use for another project

(maybe for next year)

 

I hope you are done decorating and can sit back and enjoy your Thanksgiving feast next week.
