Outdoor Fall Decorating!

Here is my outdoor decor for the year!

It was very windy when I took these..the corn was blowing all over the place and I ended up with makeup all down my face because my eyes were watering...hahahahha

Mike surprised me one day with the beautiful white pumpkin! I love white pumpkins! He also grabbed some hay and corn stalks for me too!

We got the gourds and orange pumpkins when we went to a local farm a couple weekends ago! Here is a shot of me, looking like I am stealing a pumpkin. hahhahahh I was 31 weeks. I am now 33 weeks!
and here is one of my Sadie girl...posing very nicely despite all the wind!
 I love fall!

I am very excited for Thanksgiving this weekend! It is one of my favourite holidays!!

Fall Decorating!

I love fall! I have had this decor up for a while now but forgot to post!! Sometimes I think it isn't up long enough since Halloween is right around the corner....sooo...I  need to put these up early so I can enjoy them! P.S Do you know what I am going to be for Halloween this year?! A PUMPKIN! hahahahah

I mostly decided to do the mantel this year and not go super crazy. I framed the printable I found HERE...that is my centerpiece. I added some leaves and gourds and of course the fall banner! I love it!


 I still brought out the fall pillow cover and added some stuff to the corner there.


 I love having a mantel. Especially in a corner. This is my favourite corner of the house mostly all year long...

I also added my GIVE THANKS blocks on the shelf over here...
 and added a fall-ish garland here, my acorn wreath and some acorns/gourds in the basket...I think this is what I did last year too.....(I went to go check but realized I didn't show you much of the fall decor....I had wedding brain, I am guessing that is why! hahahah)
 I added my FALL FRAMES on the window sill along with some colourful fall sticks.

 And of course have to update the chalkboard in the living room!
So, what do you think?! I love fall and all the pretty colours, so this makes me happy! I will post sometime this week about my outdoor decor too! Also you will probably see a Thanksgiving post in there too, since it is this weekend coming up. It is very early this year but I love Thanksgiving so I am not complaining!

I joined the fall link up party at AKA Design
Go check it out! :)

Baby DIY #7 : Cute Fabric Drawers

Remember when I showed you the fabric drawers in the nursery?! 


I thought they were a little plain! I wanted to add something to them...numbers came to mind.

  1. I found some number templates on line and printed them out
  2. I ironed on some interfacing to make the fabric more sturdy. (I love that iron on interfacing!) 
  3.  I traced the numbers on my fabric(backwards of course) This is the same fabric I used for the curtains and the hoops!
  4.  I then sewed along the edges.
  5.  I attached them to the fabric drawers with a bit of hot glue
 What do you think?! I am in love. The drawers are now not so plain and boring, and the numbers add a cute touch I think!
