Fall Crafts

I don't know where it came from, but all of a sudden it's cold and the leaves are changing colors. With the change in weather also came a new wave of craftyness. I got out all my old fall decorations and decided they just didn't cut it. I had some leafy bunches that I used to just put in a vase, but I decided to pull them apart and make a wreath. I went and got one of these from the store...
Then I added leaves...

And now I have a cute door to welcome people with.

Now I just need to work on the inside of the house. I've seen a lot of cute stuff on craft blogs lately that I'd really like to do. This is top on my list.

A close second would be something similar to this.

A huge plus is that our last name also has 6 letters so I can do GEORGE on the back of these blocks and I'll have a decoration I can use all year round.

And this isn't really a fall thing, but while I was shopping for the wreath I finally found some hair clips in stock so I was able to finish the cutesy hair things I started like 5 months ago.

It's hard to take a cute picture of the back of your head but whatever...

Your wreath looks really cute! I like the "autumn" blocks idea. And I'm glad you finally finished those hair clips. Those turned out really well.
