Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
Fall is the best season, is it not? Here are some things I love in the fall: sweaters, boots, pie, baking, Halloween, leaves changing color, going in the mountains... ...but there's nothing quite like the smells of autumn. I love the smell of the nip in the air, the leaf piles, the pumpkins. I love the baking scents--cookies and cakes and apple pies. And of course the smell of scented candles. There's nothing more cozy than a yummy … [Read more...]
It's officially cooling down here and that means Soup's on! I make about 90% of my soups in my crock pot. And here's a special little story...my very own contributor, Melissa from Bless this Mess, made me some chicken noodle soup about 6 years ago. Why? Because she saw I was having a rough day. That is the kind of person she is...just so caring and service-oriented. And she actually inspired me to make my own homemade crockpot chicken … [Read more...]

It's pie season. Specifically apple pie season. But guess who hates pie? Not me--whoa no no. I love pie. It's my husband. He's never liked pie, except for key lime pie. I was pretty sad about this the first year we were married because I wanted to be all domesticated and make pies like a good little housewife. But then one day we went to a church function and a lady there served the most delicious apple pie--apple crumble pie. And my husband … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Glade Fall Collection for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I wish it was a little chillier outside...there seems to be a hot front for this September. However that hasn't prevented me from bringing fall inside my own house, as you may have noticed!! One thing that says FALL to me more than anything else is burning autumn scent candles: things like pumpkin spice, apple cider, … [Read more...]
I admit that I kind of skip over the fall decorating and crafts, which is really a pity because fall is the most amazing season ever. I can't even express to you how much I love it. And after living in Arizona for the last four years, this fall season means more to me than ever. The trees are changing color in the mountains but not yet in the valley where we live. So I thought I'd bring a little faux color to the trees with some salt dough … [Read more...]
Tutorial by Steph @ Crafting in the Rain Now that it's September, it's already starting to cool down a little here in the Northwest. Granted it never gets all that hot to begin with, but it still has me excited for fall. I've been wanting to change up this wall of Ikea mirrors anyway and moving into a new season is the perfect time. I snipped a few fake leaves off of a garland and painted them each with gold paint. … [Read more...]
It's Harvest Time. And if you grew zucchini this year, you just might be getting bombarded with tons and tons of it. Wondering for some new ways to use that zucchini? Here are 10 recipes to try... I love the shape of these cute little zucchini pecan cakes @ The Urban Baker (and that frosting looks delish!) I'm dying over this zucchini bruschetta @ The Purple Foodie. Gotta try this!! You must have tried zucchini bread already … [Read more...]
