Last year, my little girl was really into trolls. So it was a no brainer that she would pick Princess Poppy for her costume. I decided last minute to be a troll with her, which was a really easy costume to quickly pull together because of a few items in my closet and some temporary spray hair color.

My kiddos are obsessed with all things scary for Halloween, me on the other hand would rather just keep it all about pumpkins and happiness with some Harry Potter thrown in. However, I’ve compromised a little with having vinyl bats on our walls and vinyl spiders. Those don’t seem to scary for me. My husband likes to tease me and come home with really scary decorations just for me. This year, I decided it’d be fun to do some eyeball and bone soap. Not too scary for me and still enough Halloween spookiness for my kids.

Modern Colorful Pumpkin Wreath

This modern and colorful pumpkin wreath is really easy and quick to make. The yarn wrapped embroidery hoop adds a modern and simple element but the petite pumpkins bring in some fun fall colors.

What kind of fall decorator are you? traditional colors or more non-traditional? I love the traditional, but the past couple years I’ve been doing a more non-traditional. Like scouring all stores for various small shaped pumpkins and then spray painting them all the rainbow colors. My kids ask me every time I go spray painting them colors other than orange : ). I just can’t help it. I absolutely love the changing of the fall leaves and feel like the burst of vibrate yellows, oranges and red is the last bit of hope before the darkness of winter sets in.

This post is a little different from most of my posts on here, but I spent so much time creating these flashcards I felt I needed to share them with those who might also want some. And if you have no idea who these people are, I invite you to keep reading to learn a little about them and also learn a little more about me.

First off, I belong the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is a big part of who I am and why I do what I do on a daily basis. I most definitely am not a perfect example of how a Latter-Day saint, but that is one thing I love about being a Latter Day Saint. We are taught to strive to be the best person we are capable of being and if we have a rough day, we can try again the next day, and the next, etc…This philosophy has totally influenced my creative endeavors; if I mess up on a craft or a project, I might get discouraged but I know I can try again and keep working at it. I’m far from being a perfectionist, but I keep striving every day and slowly I hope that I am getting better.

Hello Fall Home Décor Crocheted Banner

This crochet banner is a quick project and perfect for the beginner crocheter. You can just do Hello and put it up all year around. This post first appeared on Crafts Unleashed blog.

Somehow summer just goes by way too fast and we end up in September that is filled up with school, sports and other activities. I yearn for summer and just want everything to slow down. Soccer starts for us when school starts and as much as my kids love it, I secretly can’t wait for it to be done. I really just yearn to slow down. Crocheting is just the way I do it. (did you catch my no crochet hook chunky scarf with leather tutorial?) Crocheting isn’t a fast craft but the repetitive nature of it is very soothing and helps slow down my brain.

September is one of my favorite months. The temperature is finally going down and usually we still have sunny days before the winter rain sets in. (P.S. I also made a new Hello Fall sign and a new colorful fall wreath, make sure you check out!) Also, the lower temperatures mean that I can start wearing scarves again. Are you a scarf wearer? My favorite scarf is my chunky scarf with leather which I made out of a thick neutral color yarn.  I also have a thing with leather, I love using it for home decor (like my Leather covered Ottoman) and on my  sweater with leather pockets. I could probably go on with all the things that I’ve made with leather, but you can go check them all out yourself.

In case you didn’t know, I’m a small Harry Potter fan…ok I’m a big fan. But, it kind of cooled down for a few years. However as my kiddos have been becoming more cognitive of the world and aware of things around them, they have picked up a little of my Harry Potter fever which has of course adds fuel to the flame. We haven’t read the books to them yet, but this year I feel is the year and I’m so excited!! Reading Harry Potter to my oldest is like visiting a favorite friend. If you are still reading to this point, I’m sure your a fellow potterite and understand what I mean…or you just think I’m down right crazy.

Either way, the point is, I love Harry Potter (have you seen these pencil wands or these DIY Hogwart shirts??). It’s more than another fantasy story. Its full of magic that is applicable to us in this life; things that can help us navigate the challenges of this world. Thus to join in Marissa from Raegun Ramblings Harry Potter series, I’m sharing these free Harry Potter bookmark printables (see giveaway at end of post). They have some of my favorite quotes from the books and J.K. Rowling. Whether your a fan or not, these quotes are timeless and perfect for this day and age.

I actually made the bookmarks initially as part of a favorite things gift exchange with my sisters. They go perfect with my Harry Potter notebook that I bought from Stephanie (from Crafting in the Rain) husband’s shop

Linen and Lace Blouse Ladies Shirt M7544 Pattern Review

McCalls pattern M7544 is a quick sew and perfect for a summer shirt. You can use cotton or linen fabric and use lace fabric as the contrast to dress it up just a little. This is a sponsored post written in partnership with JOANN. All text and opinions are mine. 

At the beginning of the year, I made a challenge to myself to sew something for me once a month. So far, I’ve finished some unfinished t-shirts, a backpack, a skirt, and yarn wrapped baskets. I haven’t be able to make something every month, well just because life.
