Give Thanks board

I got this idea from this blog and I love how it turned out. It's finished about 1/2 way into the month of November but we're going to start writing what we're thankful for now and put them in the pockets so we can look at it next year and add to it. We have so much to be thankful for. I'm not sure I really like using Mod Podge yet because it wrinkled the paper, maybe I used too much. It matches my kitchen and dining room perfectly!

Halloween legos

These are some of my favorite costumes I've made, and I've made a lot of costumes over the years.

More fall crafting

I think I've been eager this fall to do more crafts because my new house needs some sprucing up. The super Saturday I went to also helped with some home decorating. The list of stuff I want to do just keeps getting longer though.

An easy, not fancy "BOO" set up. I wish I had a cricket to cut the letters out cooler looking. (hint, hint for Christmas) I also added some styrofoam ball/pipe cleaner spiders to the "BOO" sign, crawling all over it.

Felt finger puppet animals

I have discovered that I love felt. I wish I had more felt. I wish the less expensive fabric store around here had a bigger selection so I didn't have to go to the more expensive fabric store and buy it. Haley and I did this project that I again stole from a friend's blog. Haley takes hers on babysitting jobs and I am waiting until Austin is big enough to not swallow the wiggly eyes and then he can play with them. We made little draw string bags and also a little girly purse to keep them in.

Halloween stuff

I am realizing I want new decorations for holidays in my new house. The old stuff is well, old. I love this Halloween bunting that I got the idea for from here. Then I added the scary/gross mice that I got the idea from a friend's blog and she found it here. I have so many more decorating things I want to do but then I remind myself I have six children and I can do more next year! Carter (4 years old) got a kick out of the mice. I'll see if the hubby thinks they are funny when he gets home from work today.

Non diaper bag looking diaper bag

So the much needed diaper bag is now finished. I had leftover scrap fabric I used so it cost me the price of a zipper and some large snaps. It has two small pockets with velcro closures on the ends, two large outside pockets with velcro closures on the front, and a zipper pocket on the outside back. Inside there are elastic topped pockets and it's fully lined. I like how it doesn't look like a diaper bag but a carry all bag, and I'll probably use it when I'm done toting diapers around. I'm excited to use it! Maybe even make some more for baby presents.

Finished Fall Art

This was one of the easiest projects I've done in awhile. Take some scraps, iron them with wonder under, transfer to a canvas, DONE. Now I've got to find somewhere to hang it. Got the idea from here and made it into wall art instead of a pillow.
