Hi Everyone!
Welcome everyone to “Fall in love with Autumn” blog hop.
Featuring a fall wreath collection:
Let me just start with how much I heart fall {sigh}.  Leave’s turning gorgeous shades of orange, red and brown.  The crisp air, aroma’s of hot cocoa and apple cider from the apple orchards where we pick apples. Making apple butter & my most yummy apple cake! Oh, I can go on and on!  Well with that being said I have a treat for all of you today I have a group of talented ladies that can’t wait to share with you their fall wreath that they created for this gorgeous season.  We hope to inspire you and “fall in love with autumn”!  Enjoy! J
Ok, so a walking we will go...if you came from Tayna's then you're in right place, if not then you may want to start from the beginning at Misses Crafty's . The complete line up is listed at the bottom in case you get lost along the way.

I've seen these yarn wreaths & t-shirt flowers all over Pinterest, so I thought I would give it a try. This will be an indoor wreath since our front door is exposed to the elements. Sorry, for the bad pictures.

Next up is Janea, but before you go wandering off, you'll probably want to read about the Blog Candy aka "Doggie Treats"

I had a lot of fun making this & will definitely make another one after my slight little learning curve. To make the wreath I used a styrofoam wreath which I bought w/a 50% off coupon, otherwise they are too expensive. Yarn of course, an old t-shirt I got from the thrift store a while back (for this purpose), some canvas from an old apron, which I sprayed green w/a mixture of green fabric paint & water then heat set it with an iron, some buttons I was going to use for another project (still have more), an old belt for the hanger part & glue gun. I was so thrilled with myself when I came across this belt, it's perfect because you can adjust the wreath to has as low or as high as you want. Found an old one of my son's that I can totally use for another wreath. Think belts are going to be added to my list of thrift store wants. Hope this inspires you to make one!

Lluvia aka Misses Crafty, who put this hop together has some yummy "Doggie Treats" up for grabs. She is offering up a $20.00 gift card to Michaels or Joanns! You choose! The rules are as follows; you must become a follower of each blog and leave a comment on every stop.  Winner will be selected on 9-17-12.

SUPER HERO BLOG HOP!!!

Daa, Daa, Daa, Daada Daaaaa!!!!!


Welcome to The Super Hero Blog Hop!!! How did you like my intro, not bad huh? That was all Gilby's idea. ;-)  We are Super Excited to be part of this Hop, so thank you to Ruthie & Candace for inviting me!!!

You are in for a fun Hop today, lot's of Super projects & Doggie Treats (prizes)!!! You may even be able to find your own Hero along the way ;-) So,if you came from Yolanda's blog then you are in the right place, if not & you would like to start from the beginning then you need to Fly on over to Candace's Blog!

Today, Gilby & I wanted to create a project for the everyday Super Hero, so we decided to make a card for one of the Best Super Hero's out there; Firemen/women. They risk their lives everyday to save ours, including our fur-babies, I can't think of anything more Heroic that that!!! 
We found this Super cute SVG over at Paper Piecings by Nikki & thought it was perfect!
This is only the 2nd time I've done paper piecing, so it took a little bit to figure out. Getting it arranged in the program I was using in order to cut on my Cameo was the most challenging. Once it was cut & I started piecing it together, I absolutely loved it! Gilby & I are Super thrilled with our little card & can't wait to try paper piecing again! We just wish we knew someone to give it to, maybe we'll send it to our local Fire Department
  

Now, let's not forget the Universal Super Hero's of all time....The Mom!!!
My kids got this years ago for me on Mother's Day :-) so I thought I would share!
She has an arsenal that every Mom needs that she carries around her waist: a Cell Phone,
Wipes & Frist Aid Kit, Keys & of course Gum & Candy!
