DIY Pumpkin Clothespin Wreath

Dress up your front door with this pumpkin wreath made from clothespins. It's an easy way to add fall decor to your home. If you are looking for a budget-friendly decor piece, this is the tutorial for you.

This year, I have fallen in love with fall. I've driven up the canyons to see the leaves changing colors, grew pumpkins in my garden (they have taken over!), and added some new pieces to my fall decor. Even though I love my fall owl wreath a lot, I wanted to make a pumpkin wreath this year.

DIY Mixing Bowl Cover

These DIY mixing bowl covers are useful in so many ways. You can cover your mixing bowl when not in use or when you put part of your cookie dough in the refrigerator between batches. These are great to cover a dish you take to a potluck. Want to keep pesky insects out of your food at a picnic? Use one of these!  The best part is you can choose any color or print that you want to use for you mixing bowl cover. In fact, you can make multiple ones for different seasons or occasions.

I love using my Kitchen Aid mixer to make black bottom cupcakes, pumpkin pie, and the tastiest mashed potatoes. What I don't love is the dust that always seems to get inside my bowl and on my utensils between uses. Sewing a mixing bowl cover is a great way to keep my items dust free.

Creamy Chicken Broccoli Casserole

Some nights a comforting casserole is just what you need. This creamy chicken broccoli casserole is a perfect meal on those nights.

Years ago, a friend brought me a casserole after having my oldest daughter. It was a simple rice casserole that was delicious and filling. I made sure to get the recipe from her and over the years I have tweaked the recipe a bit to fit our taste. This chicken broccoli casserole is the result of my changing a few ingredients here or there. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

When starting your first sewing project, it can be daunting to look at all the supplies they have at the store. As a beginning sewist you may not have any idea what they are for and if you really need to buy them.

As you plan your first (or second or third) sewing project, you will need to focus on the essentials for supplies. These are the items that you will use in many of your projects.

Fall Decor Shopping Guide

The weather is starting to cool off and it's time to transition from summer decor to fall decor. Say goodbye to the watermelon and patriotic items and hello to leaves, apples, and pumpkins. If you are looking to add a few new fall decor items to your home, this shopping guide will help with your decorating inspiration.

This past weekend I put up my fall owl wreath and bought a few fall flowers for my porch. We took a trip to a home decor store and there were so many cute owls, pumpkin decor, and lanterns just begging to come home with us. I try to add a few new pieces (either store bought or handmade) each year to our decorations. As I've searched online over the past few days, I've found so many cute items! I hope you like them as much as I do.

Happy National Sewing Month

September is National Sewing Month and I'm so excited for this year! A whole month dedicated to sewing projects, learning to sew, sales on sewing items, and giveaways for sewing supplies. This sounds like a very happy national sewing month indeed!

Last year for National Sewing Month, I shared a new sewing project tutorial each week. I still get quite a few visits to my easy pillowcases and easy doll blankets. This year I am going to do things a little different.
