Free Fall Printables and CraftTemplates ~ Acorns, Leaves and Pumpkins

Hello,

I was searching for a sewing template when I came across

some really great ideas and free printables that I would like to share.

First are these really cute free pdf cupcake collars.

These can be found at Chica and Jo

They also have others like the ones pictured below

that can be purchased in a pdf download for only each

at Cupcake Collars

I also found this beautiful and easy brooch.

They are simply made from paper, glue and glitter.

Directions and the free template can be found at Glue Gun Crafts.

I think these would also be so pretty in a bowl or made into garland for fall.

You can find these free applique templates at About.com Sewing.

This free pumpkin carving stencil can be found a BHG.

Look at these absolutely beautiful fall material acorns and leaves place settings.

Instructions for these can be found at There's No Place Like Home

Instructions for this cute squirrel and Acorn Bag can be found at Make It Do.

Any of these templates would be great to use to make table runners, placemats, gift bags, gift tags or many other projects.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed these.

If you have a link to share please feel free to post it in the comments.

New For Fall ~ Mini Jute Pumpkins ~ Decor, Party, Wedding Favors

Hello,

It's very hot and humid here today in the 90's but I am already thinking about Fall.

These are my newest creation for Fall.

These are mini jute twine pumpkins.

They measure approx. 2 1/2" wide by 2" high.

They are made entirely out of jute and I have added

a cinnamon stick for the stem and tied a little jute bow around each stem.

These are adorable as bowl fillers or to sit on a shelf.

They would also make great party favors, wedding favors or can be used for table settings.

I am listing these on my ebay and my etsy

for a set/3 for $4.50.

I am also taking custom orders for these.

Order 12 or more pumpkins for ONLY $1.25 each pumpkin ($15.00) dozen.

If you are interested please contact me

and I will set up a private listing for you.

Thank you for looking and have a great day!

Love,

Beverly

Repurposed Vintage Gas Can ~ Reindeer Fuel ~ Christmas

 Hello,

Here is another project I did by repurposing an old vintage gas can.

The original label was already worn off so I found these

stickers that are actually for wine bottles that say reindeer fuel.

I thought they would be perfect for this old gas can!

I added snowy evergreen branches to the wood handle

that I had wired old used christmas bulbs to.

I also added a bow made from traditional Christmas plaid ribbon.

The package came with two labels so I put one on each side.

I will be adding this one of a kind item to

my ebay or my etsy.

Thank you for looking and have a great day!

Love,

Beverly

Christmas Craft And Gift Open House 2009

Thank you for stopping by!

I am going to share with you some pictures from the

Christmas Craft and Gift Open House that I hosted in my home in December.

I know I am late getting these posted but hopefully you will enjoy looking at them.

The open house was held December 17th - 20th

and it went great until the 21" of snow we had on the 20th.

Even with all the snow I still got up and got ready because I thought for sure someone

would be brave enough to trek through the snow to come!

But since I live on a dirt road and it is one of the last roads in

the township to get plowed ... needless to say we had no customers on Saturday.

But the rest of the days were a success.

I had a total of 7 different vendors participate including myself.

We had a nice variety of items which included

hand painted glass, jewelry, soaps and lotions, wreaths,

ornaments, wooden items, home baked goods,

vintage items as well as gift items.

Here are some pictures from the open house:

Here is a link for more pictures:

This was a lot of work but so much fun!

I had refreshments set up that included

hot chocolate, cookies, brownies and candy

and each vendor donated a door prize.

I am planning another in the Spring and I can hardly wait.

Thanks for looking.
