These aren't really fall decorations, but they are fall-inspired. Daughter's birthday is soon, and she will need thank-you cards, so I got out a few stamps, her favorite yellow card stock and made some notes she can use to write her thank-yous.
A couple of weeks ago, Daughter and I did some painting together. I had these wood forms in a drawer - I had gotten them on super-duper clearance one year (I think at Valentine's day, hee hee) for a quarter each. We had the same form, but different ideas for them.
I love them both! Finally, I have these two pillows that live on our couch. I don't want to buy seasonal pillows, so I made pillow covers for them. On the back, there is an opening - you just slip the pillow inside and then flip the flap (like most any removable pillow cover). I had all the fabric on hand, as well as the fusible webbing and applique thread (thanks, Mom!). I printed some templates from the internet and then whipped these up! They are not exactly what I thought I was going to do when I started (I was going to have all the leaves clustered in the center, but it was too busy and a bit confusing), but I am happy with how they turned out.
So, those are our home-made autumn decorations. Do you sew, paint, craft? What have you been making lately?
Wow, I'm so impressed with all these - fun and beautiful. Thanks for the ideas!
