We call Autumn "gold" (Zolotaya osen') in Russian, what already speaks for itself. Yellow, orange, brown and all the tints of these colors are around. May be I can't call Indian autumn golden, but I can dream of it at least. I try to cheer up myself with all the bright colors as my D is leaving for official trip today, I am going to miss him a lot! So why not to spend time crafting while he is away? Like Penelope did waiting for Odyssey... Remember?
I have collected few ideas and tutorials for autumn time which I hope to use in coming up days. This is easy to make and nevertheless gorgeous looking stuff by GingerBreadSnowFlakes, OdeToInspiration, MyMadeupStory and PetalstoPicots.
First I'd like to show this awesome A Little Fall Leaf Re-use Project by Pam. All you need is Mod Podge or Fevicol, autumn leaves and a jar. Thanks to Pam for such awesome idea to make autumn days cozy with this autumn leaf candle holder! :) 
Another project I'd like you to have a look at is a Recycled Jar Lantern DIY from Julie P. I guess I could use those nice wrapping papers I showed you earlier. I am amazed how simple it is to create something beautiful and useful (by the way)! You can keep this jars as vases.
Now, from jars to pumpkins! The next two projects make me cheerful, I can't even say how much! Isn't it a nice idea by Ode To Inspiration to make a No Sew No Glue Pumpkin home decoration for Halloween or for creating gold Autumn mood? Looks stylish and cute :) You can check another idea using sweaters for the same pumpkin at Charlotte'sWeb.
Just look at this crochet Little Pumpkin by PetalstoPicots! Such a temptation to start crocheting it right now... Hmmm... I had orange yarn stash somewhere... Hurrying home today! Let's see if I can find free time for this pattern. (By the way I have started a baby blanket, will post some pictures next week) :)Hope you liked my gold Autumn findings and I'd love to know what inspires you in the Autumn season.
***Have a great day!***
There's nothing that resembles Fall around here. Still hot as heck every day. The projects you found are great. I do miss the sights and smells of Fall. I think I'll go make some pumpkin muffins. :) Have a great rest of the day. Tammy
ReplyDeleteHi, Tammy! here is also still very hot, but I still can feel that season is changing...however Autumn in my country is more "autumny":) Great! Would love to get a recipe of the muffins.
DeleteHave a nice rest of the week as well!
I especially like the Fall Leaf Re-Use project. We have lots of autumn leaves right now (and always lots of glass jars). Thanks for sharing it! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, this leafy jar is also my favourite :) then you can start making such jars right now! however, leaves have to be prepared in advance, you can check the instructions on the same blog. Thanks a lot for taking time to comment!

Hi, Preeti! Thanks for reverting back to my blog as well:) Glad to have you among the readers now. Will keep in touch for sure:)

ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm new to your blog, but I will try to catch up. Did you share your love story on the blog? If so, would you mind giving me the link? I'm very curious after reading your bio ;-)

Thanks for your nice comments!
P.S.(can't help but whenever I see a witch from the Vampire Diaries, which I started watching few days back, I relate to your blog in my mind...why so?!:)
Ha! Now I have to check out Vampire Diaries. Never seen it before *shhh*
DeleteOff to read your tale ;-)
Oh, that's not shameful, I haven't watched even the first season yet!lol Actually, I understand, that the serial is more like pop culture and stereotyped, but I enjoy it. Makes me forget my daily worries and deals:)
DeleteThanks for the 'shout-out' about my sweater pumpkins. I truly appreciate your kind words.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks:) I really liked pumpkins in your blog, they look more homely in sweaters :)hehe:)
