Fall Crafting Adventures Part 2

Lately I have been trying to get as many projects as I can get done around the house 

before thanksgiving. Some of the projects I have been doing this past week 

are fall themed, and are not. I noticed yesterday as I  

finished up a couple I have had on my list for months, how motivating it is

to do something you see on pinterest or a blog, and have it turn out perfectly! 

Some people don't really like pinterest, but I love it because it motivates me

to brainstorm as much as I can, and look beyond a simple DIY blog post and see

how I can make something my own creation. I hope some of these projects motivate

you to make something awesome for your place! If you have a pinterest to-do

board I would love to see it, so leave a comment below with a link to your board!

Fall Goals Update!

It  feels  so  good  to  complete  goals. 

I  was  actually  pretty  proud   of  myself  for  buckling  down  and making  

some  pretty  things  for   my  house  as  well   as  baking  regularly!

I  will  be  posting  more  on  my  instagram  throughout  the  week,

so  click  on  the  cute  camera  to  the  left  to  follow  me! 

                                                                                   

Here  is  a  great  new  song  from  Band  Of  Horses  new  album  Mirage  Rock

for  you  to  craft  to!  Also  be  sure  to  check  out  my  fall  playlist!  It's  a  great  one!
I  plan  on  re-arranging   all  the  decor  in  my  house  and  making  a  bunch  of  pretty  new  things! I found an amazing junkyard yesterday that sells tons of old vintage windows, doors, shutters, the works!
It was a crafters heaven, and I can't wait to make my apartment more of a home with all the lovely things there! Hope you enjoy the song and happy crafting!

Trend Tuesday : Gold Leaf DIY Projects

I  love  gold  glitter,  gold  doilies,  gold  paint,  gold  home  decor,  gold  everything.

Lately,  I  have  been   seeing   loads   of   gold  leaf   DIY   projects,   which   naturally

make   me   extremely   excited.   I   can't   help   but   think   of   the   possibilities.

I   am   thinking  of   trying  out  a  few   gold   leaf   projects  and  I   will   be   sure  to  blog   them! 

Here  are   some   of   my   favorite   projects   I   have   seen.   Enjoy! 

DIY   Gold   Leaf   Paper   Mache   bowls   via Kelli Murray's Blog

Seems   like   an  intense   project   but   the   end  result   looks  amazing.

Can't   wait   to   try   this   one   out! 

DIY   Gold   Leaf   Notebooks   via Eat Sleep Cuddle 

Perfect   for   back   to   school!

Gold   Leaf   Map   via Ugly Duckling House! 

Definitely  thinking   of   making   one   of   these   for   a   friend   for  Christmas! 

Adorable DIY Gold Leaf Coasters via Style Me Pretty! 

I  feel  like  I  can't   have  enough  coasters. 

These  would  be  so  cute  for  the  fall  and  winter! 

DIY  Gold  Leaf  Confetti  Bowls  via   Vitamini Handmade 

Don't  these  remind   you  of   the   gold   confetti   Kate  Spade   china   collection?

So   cute! 

DIY   Gold   Leaf   Letter   via   The Knotty Bride 

Wouldn't   it   be   cute   to   spell   out   "hello fall"   in gold  leafed   lowercase   letters   from   JoAnn? 

DIY   Gold   Leaf   Pumpkins   via   Ladies Home Journal 

Wouldn't   it   look   so   cute  on   fake  black   pumpkins   from   Michaels? 

Have   you   ever   crafted   with   gold   leaf?   What   are   your   experiences? 

Have   any   do-and-don'ts  with   gold   leaf   you   want   to   share?

Pinspiration: Hello Fall!

I have some serious fall plans for our house. I have to wait another week to start decorating because it's not really fall here. It's been incredibly smoky due to wild fires, but I know summer is ending.

I have started planning on decor for my house via my Autumn Pinterest Board!
I will make sure to post pictures of what I do end up making and the fall decor
around my house. There is a staircase leading to our place and I can't wait to
load it with fake and real pumpkins painted all sorts of different ways. 

There are so many different ways people are decorating pumpkins

 on pinterest that its overwhelming. However it is also very inspiring! 

Fall on the Palouse is the most gorgeous time of year. 

I can't wait to celebrate it and enjoy it. 

All of these pictures can be found on my Autumn Pinterest board with DIRECT links to their sources. 

I do not take ANY credit for the pictures posted.

Moving means lots of DIY projects in store!

We are getting our keys to our new pad TOMORROW! Words cannot describe how excited we are!

We are a little sad to be leaving, but very excited to make our new place a home.

I have so many things that I want to create for the new place and so many ideas in my head! I am getting so impatient and so excited. I have already started packing, even though we won't be completely moved until the third weekend of April. I want to get started as soon as possible.  We are going to have an open house party there the first weekend of May, which of course I will be posting pictures of! One of my goals this spring is to take lots of pictures, especially of the things I create for our pad and fun little crafts I will be doing!  I have been pinning a ton of plans for our new place on my pinterest. 

Here are a few of my favorite things! 

I am obsessed with this Doily Lamp Shade idea from A Beautiful Mess!

SO cheap and so cute! 

I am absolutely in LOVE with this frame wall behind the couch. 

I plan on making this happen, grey walls and all! 

 As soon as my parents get here to help us move, I am putting them to WORK and we are fixing

up Gus and I's coffee table which is in extreme need of a makeover! This tutorial for a lace top coffee table by A Beautiful Mess is one of my favorite DIY projects I have ever seen on a blog! Can't wait to do it! 

I love how even though this kitchen is tiny, the plates on the wall make it so cute!!

Our new kitchen is (praise the Lord) not super tiny (anymore), so i plan on filling up the wall space above the door to the laundry room with some vintage plates in cute colors! 

My favorite blogger, Kinsey of Sincerely Kinsey, featured this on her blog a long time ago.

I didn't feel like I could make it for our current place, because it was too "cozy" to call a nest or home.

I plan on make two of these, one that says "bless this nest", and one that says "rental sweet rental"!

Plain cork coasters have never looked this cute. I plan on making many for our Open House in May! 

These are just a few of the many projects I have in my head! 

I will make sure to share the projects when they are completed.
Can't Wait!!!
Happy Crafting!
