Behind The Blog: All Things Fall DIY Recipes and Creativity Dear Creatives

Finally fall is here with it’s warm, comfortable days, cool mornings and evenings. I can really start focusing on getting some diys, crafting done, along with trying new recipes. My list is full bursting at the seams with projects that a hot summer denied me. Fall is my favorite time of year! Blue jeans, light sweaters, crafting, sewing and baking. Today I’d thought I’d share a Behind the Blog post about all things fall that caught my eye that fits with all my loves.

I just finished little Audrey’s Halloween costume. She’s going to be Mary from Little House on the Prairie. I sewed up the costume from a vintage pattern. I can’t wait to edit the photos and share them really soon!

It’s about a two day project. I did alter a few things and will share that later but, if your looking for a Halloween pattern I used this Little House on the Pairie Costume Pattern

Here is my om age to fall with all it’s colorful givings and glory.

Remember the post where I created and shared the mini back to school notebook / journals ? Well I created this little back to school banner with my Cricut Explore and had sent it to Audrey. I meant to share it sooner. Now I’m ready to make some things with pumpkins, the cupcake toppers I spotted or maybe Thanksgiving projects. Just a quick pic of Sammie holding it for me. I know you usually say reading and writing, but this was more of a play on words, right back to school. In the banner it starts with an apple, apple cut out and then the middle three shown here. I added all the mini journals, some school supplies and the banner and sent them via snail mail to the grand kids.

I can’t believe we’ve had hot weather up until now! Finally we are back down to the low 80’s or low 75* Which means it’s time to gather up and try some baking recipes I’ve pinned! The last goodie I baked was this Apple Cake recipe. Finally leaves are turning colors and falling. Below I captured this leaf falling and created a gif from a few of the photos.
