Velvet Pumpkin Tutorial

Hello everyone and happy Monday. I know, not the best day to say that but I always like to wish you guys a happy day. Maybe it makes a difference, who knows.

Back when this blog was even smaller than it is now (and it's still pretty small!) I shared these velvet pumpkins, but never did a tutorial. I am making more and decided that I should show you guys how to make these on your own.

Chicken Lentil & Rice Soup

Hey everyone, 

Today I am sharing another soup recipe (I know!) that I started making a few years ago. Luis loves this soup, and as soon as the weather starts to get colder, he starts to ask for it. It's a very hearty soup with ingredients that you won't mind feeding yourself or your kids.

Hi there!

 

Today I want to share another craft that I did a bit ago that I first saw on Pinterest - velvet pumpkins. I loved the idea of having a décor item for fall that wouldn't rot on me and would be pet/kid friendly.

 

I didn't take pictured during or write a tutorial because there are so many out there. I followed this tutorial from Celebrate Creativity in All it's Forms.

 

It is explained very well and has great step by step pictures. After the first one, they will be a breeze! The hardest step will be finding pumpkin stems and drying them out! (To note, I collected them the year before and let them dry out for months)

 

Fall Tablescape - Better Late than Never

Hi! I know, I know!

Slow to get started with my fall tablescape. I kept meaning to take pictures, but I always found something better to do at the time.

But here it is:

Fall Wreath

Hi all,


So again, I know this is something that everyone is seeing all over blogland right now, but I wanted to give it a go.


First, you have to gather your supplies: Wreath form, yarn, felt, and your trusty hot glue glun.

Now I ended up using different coloured felt for my actual wreath, but forgot to take a picture of it before it was all cut up.
