Pin Cushions

I saw this general idea on a blog recently. Again, I am so bad about giving credit where it's due. I'm sorry - I don't remember which blog. But the idea is darling.

I bought a dozen mini jelly jars.



Then I cut a circle out of fabric that was larger than the lid of the jar.
Then I put some fiberfill in the middle of the fabric and put the lid on top.





Then I used some hot glue and I glued the fabric to the rim of the lid, tucking all the fiberfill under the lid.
After that I cut a circle of cardstock to glue over the rough edge on the bottom of the lid. But, I forgot to take a photo of that!
Then I put the lid thru the ring of the jar and pop it on the jar. Stick a few pins in the puffy top and store the rest of the pins in the little jar.





Stinkin' Cute!!

Autumn Decor

My guest bathroom is dressed for fall... This is the frame that I make over for each season/holiday. What do you think? I love it!!

Fabulous Fall

It's been such a beautiful fall!
Here are a few photos of our trip to the cider mill and the pumpkin patch.





I made these adorable mini caramel apple bites.
They were too cute, but the caramel didn't stick to the apple!


Amazing fall colors!




Our visit to Gene the Pumpkin Man!








Allison and Lexie went straight to carving the pumpkins!
They chose the non-traditional carving and I think they
turned out adorable!




Happy Fall!

What's New?

Well, I just had shoulder surgery, that's new. It's a painful recovery, but I'm only on the 4th day and I'm hoping that each day this week is better and better. I have physical therapy tomorrow that I'm really not looking forward to. What I am looking forward to is being pain free!!

Greg has been amazing. He has taken wonderful care of me. I appreciate him so very much.

The other new thing is that I have just become an Independent Consultant for Thirty One Gifts! I'm super excited! My kit should arrive tomorrow and my first party is October 26th. If you've never heard of Thirty-One, you really need to check it out. Here's my website: www.mythirtyone.com/39999. We sell purses and tote bags and gifts and most things can be personalized. The quality is great and the prices are too. I fell in love with the product and had almost every page of the catalog flagged. That's when I decided to do it! If you find something you love, let me know. I can do a book party, web party or regular home party for those that live in the area. If you ever need a gift or know someone that would like Thirty One, please pass my name along. I'm really hoping this will be a successful business!

So that's what's new with me... What's new with you?
