Rainy Day Roundup

Hello everyone!  Before you move onto reading this post, I have some disclaimers.

1.  There are only 5 ideas this week (sorry).

2.  These are mostly ideas for you to do with your kids.  I figured they would need the ideas.

3. It hasn’t rained at all in California so I do not know if any of these actually work, but I think they are cool!

Enjoy!

Halloween With a Few of My Favorite Bloggers!

Good morning! Halloween is only a week away! What!?!? How is that possible? I don’t really decorate for Halloween anymore, now that my girls are older, so I thought I would share some ideas from my favorite bloggers. Just click on the pictures to be taken to each ladies blog.

Of course, my first and most favorite blogger, is Karianne from Thistlewood Farms. She shared some big news this past week. She’s moving! She’s moving back to the home she grew up in. I can’t wait to see what she does with it! Here are Karianne’s Four Ideas for Inexpensive Halloween Door Decorations.

Lauren over at Bless’er House has a cool idea for marbled vases. Not too scary…just the right touch!

Kelly, over at My Soulful Home, has this cute mummy candle. Great project for the kids too!

Here is an idea that’s a little more on the creepy side! But doesn’t this look awesome? Angie, over at Knick of Time, has some great recycling ideas. I’m sure you have some spare bottles around!

Do you have any extra mason jars around the house? Linda at Mason Jar Craft Loves has loads of ideas for those jars! Just pick your favorite and start painting!

Well, it’s Halloween, so we need some treats, right? Amy at the Happy Scraps has some cute printables to add to your treats. She has lots of great ideas and I had a hard time just picking one!

This would be a great way to welcome your trick-or-treaters! The pumpkin even lights up! Laura at The Turquoise Home shares all the directions on her blog.

How about some free printables to hang on your walls for Halloween? I love how Katrin displays them in a canvas hung backwards. Perfect touch for Halloween! She even gives you the links for the printables.

Well, I am leaving you with Karianne again! These adorable little felt pumpkins were made by her sister and Karianne gives all the instructions on her blog.

Falling Leaves Door Hanging

falling-leaves-title

Good morning! I have a very simple project for you today!

I already had all the supplies for this project. I found a stick in my backyard, I had twine, but you could use string or yarn, and a package of faux leaves. You could use real ones too, but our leaves aren’t turning yet, so no pretty colors could be found!

fall-leaf-wall-hanging

I started by tying a piece of twine on the stick, long enough so the stick would hang at a good length. Then I added different lengths of twine to hand downward.

Next step is gluing. I used hot glue, but please be careful of your fingers! I added the leaves in random order, but about the same distance apart. I used mostly yellow and orange, with just a few red ones so they would really stand out.

And that’s it!! I spent maybe 15 minutes to complete this project. The gluing took the longest, but it is really so simple!

After seeing the pictures, I though it would be so pretty to add some pretty bling and then hang it in a window so it would be sparkly. Maybe I will have to add some!

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!
