Add some natural beauty to your fall wardrobe with this easy to make realistic leaf necklace. Just take a walk outdoors and find a leaf you like to create you own one of a kind necklace. My 4 year old was my inspiration behind this necklace. Every morning she collects leafs before getting on the school bus. I can’t count the number of times I have cleaned crumpled leafs out her backpack. I understood what was so great about them (after she gave me one to take home) until I was looking one over, then I found the beauty in the veins and shape of the leaf.

With Halloween behind us, it’s time to warm up our homes a little bit with the perfect fall and winter decorations. A staple at my house is the pinecone. I live in the northwest, so they’re all over the place and the easiest way to craft and decorate. Here are some ideas to get you started:
This wreath is an easy transitional piece for winter. It’s got enough earthy tones to put up now, and you won’t have to take it down until long past Christmas.

My mom and stepdad moved to a beautiful new house almost a year ago. She’d had this potted tree that had made moves with her for almost twenty years, to different houses in the same state, to a house with a newly formed family, and even a house across the country. It had been in my home growing up, no matter where we lived, since I could remember. Then, she moved to this gorgeous house surrounded by nature in the middle of the woods…and it killed her plant. The dumb “softened” water at her house killed her plant. It made me so sad to hear that our beloved family tree had died.

Ever since I was little I have LOVED rearranging furniture. The idea of being in a space and changing the energy of it completely, the feeling of being somewhere new just by shifting a couple things around, the creative freedom you have, the idea of never being fully committed to a layout, seemed almost magical to me when I was a kid and had really no say in the appearance of the space around me. It’s like an art…it’s one of my favorite creative outlets.

Spring is in the air, and right when the weather starts to warm up, I’m always thinking about a potential garden. I picture something form out of a storybook, but I never really have the time, energy, or money to pull off something that spectacular. Here are some great DIY ways to step up your garden game without breaking the bank.
These bird feeders are a great way to add a little color to a garden. They might even stay away from your veggies if they have somewhere else to get their food.
