Wow it's been a crazy few months

I have not posted once through the holidays ! It's been super fun and crazy few months things are slowing down a bit so, I

wanted to pop in and post a few fun things I've been working on while I've been gone. This cute little apron I made for liv was lots of fun!

This was one of the swaps I did . I love the bright colors I used . I hope my swap partner loved it as much as I did! It's a bottle cozy, a pin cushion , and a surprise package. With buttons, beads and a few other notions. Some yummy funnies and lemon heads.

Above, is the adorable swap package I received . Super super cute! I loved the little Minnie dwell house pincushion my partner sent to me! I think it's safe to say I am officially hooked! Swaps are the funnest! ( yes I know funnest is not proper grammar! Lol) hope you enjoy this little extra post ill try to be more diligent about posting! Please make sure to follow my blog! 💗😜💅💕

Sew fun project for fall

I pulled out my old paints. I've had for 20 years! I think I need some fresh new ones!

I have really had the crafting/ painting bug here lately and decided I'm going to pull out my paints and get back to business! I used tio do a lot of painting and did a lot of design work. I was a decoart designing artist and loved being a representative for them . I have decided to get active with that again so keep watching and you'll see some fun stuff coming up! Here is a mixed medium design. A fall doll in a wreath with painted shoes and painted face. Let me know what you think about how she turned out.

Tada! Ready for my old widow decor. Comment below and follow my blog if you'd like a pattern! I'll pick 1 lucky person to win.

Working on a new design a fall wreath

I have been Sewing, stitching, and painting . I'll be working on finishing the wreath tomorrow. Can't wait to see the finished project tomorrow.

Bringing out the beauty in her rosy cheeks with decoart paints . Watch for the pattern soon .

Dressing her and putting on her hair. Sure looks like fall to me!

Checking her out on the design wall. I think she looks good. Can't wait to see her on the wreath.

Fall is in the air.

So how lovely is this weather? I have to say fall is one of my favorite seasons. We'll, okay every season is my favorite. Lol. I can't imagine living somewhere the seasons do not bring change. Each season is completely magical in it's own right here in Utah. Winters first snow storm is like a new magic show every year! Sledding and snowmen are some of my favorite memories from days gone by When my children were young. I love the spring miracle of all the buds bursting out of the soil and the look of a beautiful green newly sprouted field with the snow capped mountains in the back ground.

I love the heat of the summer with the ripe Cherri's fresh veggies, and the beautiful lakes full of cool water beckoning you to jump in and cool off.

Then there is fall. Beautiful fall! It doesn't get much better than this. Cool nights and warm days. Color in the mountains and all the great things that come to us to harvest .

Pumpkins, squash, apples.. Today was a dream of a fall day. Spent with mom and my Daughter Brooke , picking apples from moms old house, dehydrating them,

making bird feeders with my grandson Kasen for those birds that have chosen to stAy for the winter.

We rolled apples and pine cones in peanut butter then in seeds. And tied them with ribbon..

We made some yummy Carmel apple pie filling that we will spoon on our icecream this evening after dinner for a nice fall desert.

Mmm. I have to say , I appreciate all this beautiful Utah fall day has to offer me and my family.
