I am looking forward to autumn. Not that I am in a hurry for summer to go away. The summer season is just too short here in Colorado. It is a bit frustrating because I want to decorate for autumn and for Halloween at the same time. The way I deal with this dilemma is to decorate for autumn from September 1st till Thanksgiving. I also start putting Halloween decorations up slowly with the autumn decorations. Sounds like a crazy system but it works for me.
Here is an idea for you for placemats for autumn. I see ideas on Pinterest and in stores and then I try to copy them with what I have on hand.
I bought a round placemat at Dollar Tree. The leaves I bought at Hobby Lobby. It took roughly two packages of leaves for two placemats. I generally always make four placemats when I make new ones. This placemat is really easy to do.
I made another decoration for the table. I bought the wire pumpkin shapes at the Dollar Tree. The autumn leaves and pumpkins and ribbon I bought at Hobby Lobby.
I zip-tied the two wire pumpkin frames to each other. I think I may go back and add ribbon, weaving it through the wires to make it look more 3D. I wired the ribbons on the top of the pumpkin. I used autumn picks. One on each side of the bow and glued them in. I worked the bow in and around the flowers and leaves.
Hello, and welcome to my Zen space! This is the place I talk about creating a warm and cozy (koselig- Norwegian for cozy) home, homemaking ideas, and my love for peace and harmony with life. My goal is to create a home that is a cozy and inviting for my family, a place they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pull up a chair and sit a spell, let's have some chi tea latte and relax while you peruse …
Hello my name is Roxanne. I am a self taught blogger. That is something I am constantly learning about. I love to create beautiful things that are upcycled clothing, interiors and jewelry. I am a mom, grandma and I also garden, cook do photography an artist and tech-nerd at heart.
I am passionate about life. I love being out in nature and hear the wind in the trees and the birds chirping. I try to bring nature into everything that I do. I want to share my adventures with you whether they are related to outdoors or they are related to styling your home or your wardrobe. I hope to inspire you to try, create and succeed in what ever you try.
I have started Glamping (in a tent). It has been a long time since I last camped. I know some people don't think this is camping but, I feel you need to make it your own experience and enjoy it as the adventure that it is. This is an exciting way to be out in nature and be comfortable. I hope you come along and enjoy the journey with me! There is a lot you can do in your life, every small thing is important, you just have to be willing to go out and preserve and pay it forward. Life deserves to be lived to the fullest!
