Fall Pumpkins

Fall Pumpkins are arriving!

I know it may seem early, but requests are coming,

so I'm happy to say.... FALL PUMPKINS are available!

Thank you Etsy Treasury!

I will have a large variety of Halloween Pumpkins with NEW Halloween fabrics 

available in mid-August.

Each pumpkin set is unique with a flair for FALL!

The traditional pumpkins of Fall are especially fun to create, and they last

well into Thanksgiving.

Thank you to everyone that have purchased my pumpkins in the past!

It's fun to see where these pumpkins go!

New York, Virginia, Washington, Utah, Idaho, California, Oregon, Louisianna, Florida,

even Canada!

The ideas are endless as you decorate with your Fall pumpkins.

I have set the pumpkins everywhere-mantels, shelves, benchs, chairs, sofa tables.

The pumpkins bring a lot of color, charm and the spriit of FALL to your HOME Decor!

Enjoy!

Happy Easter!

Hello Everyone!
So Happy to be with you all!

 April is moving by way too fast!
What a busy month it's been!
We've been doing a lot of Re-Organization!

Amongst the organization, I couldn't reisist a few more carrots!

Just like Pumpkins.....Carrots can also be addicting to CREATE!

It all started with the polka dot carrots in the previous post.

I love the bright orange fabrics, which can easily be made from your fabric scraps.

Who can resist the colors of spring along with a few polka dots?

I've made my carrots larger this time around with green rick rack and ribbon trims.

A great addition to Easter decorating!

I found the green leaves at Walmart!

I cut my carrots into a cone shape (two sides placed right sides together).

Gather the top with green rick rack.  Add a few ribbon trims.

I use my glue gun to secure the leaves into place.

Super easy to make.

Enjoy!

Spring is beautiful!

Polka Dot Carrots

Hello Monday...you are here!

So happy to see you.

It's Spring Break!

My girls and I are bringing out the Easter Decor!

Carrots are everywhere this Spring.

Instead of the typical orange, we added a few polka dots and stripes!

The decorating possibilities are endless.

I have made my carrots with gathering the tops and tucking the top inside the carrot.

Someday Crafts

Somewhat Simple

Hello Monday!

Hello Monday......Spring is beautiful!

The temperatures are warm, the birds are singing, the skies are blue,

beautiful flowers are blooming!

My little daughter was marking her calendar yesterday with up and coming

events.  She quickly reminded me...... "It's The First Day Of Spring!"

I love her excitement for Spring!

Children are wonderful, they fill our world with Seasons of JOY!

Today on her calendar is a Teddy Bear Picnic.

She's been counting down for this fun day!

A beach towel, snacks, and a cute Teddy Bear are in the back pack!

What fun to be a First Grader!
I still remember my First Grade Teacher, she was a favorite!
My boys are excited for Spring Break and so am I!

I'm starting a new pattern! It's the baby doll bunting!

I love this pattern because it is filled with several fabrics.

You can welcome any season of colors and patterns.

I favor the bright and cheerful Spring and Summer colors for this pattern.

I will let you know when I have it completed!

We are going to make some of these during our Spring Break!

So simple, so pretty! 

I'm going to use the flameless tea lights.

I'm going to fill the glasses with Jordan Almonds and chocolate Easter Eggs!

(I found the idea from Good Housekeeping Easter Crafts.)

"Here's the votive's version of Easter finery: these enchanting assemblages, crafted in seconds and guaranteed to dress up any holiday table. All you need are candles, ribbon, gerbera daisies, cordial glasses, and double-stick tape. Affix a length of ribbon around the metal rim of the votive. Snip off almost the entire stem of the flower, splay out the petals, and insert into the glass. Top each daisy with a lit candle. For a twinkling effect, place a glass at each setting."

Enjoy your beautiful Spring Day!

Pottery Barn Inspiration

Welcome Friends......Welcome Spring!

Recently I visited a Pottery Barn Store at the beautiful

Biltmore Fashion Park Outdoor Mall in Phoenix, Arizona.

There are more than 70 shops at Biltmore Fashion Park, organized into a cosmopolitan feeling area where you walk through gardens and fountains on brick walkways to unique and beautiful retail shops.

I was so inspired!

Lemons, Green Apples, Flowers, Birds and Nests were everywhere.

I was with my family. It didn't take long to figure the girls needed to do their thing

and the boys needed to do theirs!

The boys went on their way visiting the Apple Store and my two daughters stayed with me.

I left with the feeling of wanting Spring all around me.

The boys left with wanting the new electronic gadgets, so if they were writing this post

we would see a lot of Apple Inspiration,like the Hero Ipod two, since they are not writing this post,

you will see a little Pottery Bran Inspiration.......

 My favorite..Pepsi crates!

I left Pottery Barn with so many new ideas and inspiration that left me

wanting to create more nests with eggs!

So, I'm back in my breakfast nook creating more Spring,

along with 900 more projects waiting to get finished!

Do you ever feel...

Once Upon A Time There Was Time

Have a beautiful Spring Day where ever you are!

Spring Inspiration

Hello Spring!

Don't you just love the colors of Spring?

The colors are so refreshing, soothing and calm.

While I was taking pictures of my Arizona flowers, something I love to do every spring.

I felt so inspired! I hope you feel inspired as well.

(Inspiration and above photos from Country Living.).

I decided to create some spring arrangements with my outdoor spring flowers.

I added the flowers to an existing green floral vase that I use for all seasons.

(Photos: Deck The Halls of Home with JOY).

As I was working on projects, my little daughter was enjoying her projects.

She invited a few of her favorite friends.

I couldn't resist showing her pictures, so much cuter then anything I could create.

My daughter asked me to join her little tea party.

I decided to join in on all the fun!

My projects can wait.

Family....a journey to forever.

So True!

Thanks for visiting.
