I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Fall Crafts from Last Year......


I thought I would share some of the Fall crafts that I did last year when I was trying to clean out and use up some of my craft supplies......

 I made some pumpkins using rolls of Toilet Paper........
You can use whatever fabric you like to match your decor.......
I used quilt squares that I bought on clearance and had for several years.........
Click HERE to see details on how to make these........

I also made a Fall Topiary out of a Tomato Cage.....

 Click HERE for instructions for this project.......

 I made a few wreaths.......
 I added a sign from Dollar Tree to this one.....
 I used another one to embellish a broom....
I added some ornaments to this wreath......
I "dabbled" with a few pumpkins.....
 I did a floral arrangement in this red wagon.......
 And I spray painted an old baking sheet with chalk board paint......
I made a Fall Tussie Mussie.........
 If you missed the post where I featured all of the above items, please click HERE

And I also embellished a small rake.......
 Again using a sign from Dollar Tree.....
 Click HERE to see that post.......

I have taken down and packed away all of my Patriotic Decor which has been up all Summer......

I am working a 3 day stretch now but I plan to start my  Fall decorating on the weekend and next week when I have 3 days off......

 I hope you will be back to visit soon!!

And thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

If you do not have a blog, PLEASE  give me some way to reply to your comment, maybe by including your email in your comment.  If I can not find a way to reach you, I will reply on the post where you commented so please check back......

Debbie

  5. Hi Debbie, Great crafts! My favorite is the tomato cage fall decoration. A few years back I covered a tomato cage with small artificial poinsettias which I thought turned out nicely. Thanks for sharing your photos! Blessings, Janet
