Happy Fall!

It has rained here for the last 24 hours... taking the temperature from 102 to 80!!  It is glorious! And it feels like fall... finally.  Hopefully it will last.  

So, since it is fall-ish, Josiah helped me take out our fall decorations.  Sadly there were very few, which sent me on a craft blog hunt for cute decorations I could make.  I came across a great blog filled with a ton a great, inexpensive, and of course completely adorable ideas.  http://www.tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com/  Jen had made a candy corn pennant that I fell in love with. 

 This sent me digging through all my scrap fabric and the box of scrap fabric that my Grammies had given me. I found the perfect fabric and went to work. Once I project mode my mind went swirling and I decided to add some lettering and make it a banner. So here is the final project...
 



I love seeing the end results, even when there are things I wish I would have done differently.  I am planning to make one for all the holidays... just for fun! I love craft blogs!!  This project has been the catalyst for getting started on the kids Halloween costumes.  I am having so much fun on them this year.  Josiah has decided that he wants to be a Super Boy and Charity is going to be a Flower Fairy. 

Note the ironing board... it has become a part of the decor  :o)
