But back to the decorating: I made this wreath from a grape vine wreath, fake leaves that came in bunches, black ribbon that I already had, a plastic squash and an orange sunflower. This only cost me $7 to make and I can re-use the wreath for Christmas, Spring and Summer because I didn't glue any of the ornaments into the wreath!
I also made this flower arrangement which only cost $3! I've totally gotten into flower arranging in the past couple months. I've read different online sources about what to think about when creating arrangements, like you usually want 3 different shapes/colors in an arrangement...I can't really remember any of the other pointers at this moment, but yeah! Anyways, I already had this vase and the black river rocks (which originally cost about $6.50) from a simple summer arrangement I had. I like this one a lot because it's orange and black for Halloween! I also just like how the bunch of flowers look on top of the tall skinny vase.
And once again, I've finished another quilt square. This one was fun because I learned a new technique. I hadn't made these stars before, which were pretty tricky, but most of them turned out really well. I'm really proud because in the last 7 days I finished 3 squares! AND NOW I'm 2/3 of the way done. I only have four more squares left (I'll save you the math: I've finished 8 squares)! I've really learned to enjoy the small details and to be patient with the monotonous cutting because the tiny details make all the difference when the whole square gets put together. My goal is to have it completely finished by Ruth's 1st B-day: November 18th.
Happy Fall Everyone!
