Another very simple DIY Fall decor

I had this frame that has a Christmas saying on it.  I love the frame and was always sad that it can only be displayed  for a little bit out of the year.

And I had this half pumpkin from Michaels craft store what is a girl to do?

                                                

As I am sitting on the couch staring at this frame it 

came to me.  I know it does take a while most of the time,

 My husband got scared because I jumped up and said

 "I have an idea"  he said Oh no what is it? 

 This one died not involve any of his talents 

much to his relief. 

And then I take the pumpkin off for the 

Holiday season and come up with 

something else for after Christmas.

A DIY Nature Fall Candle

I had this large round vase, candle holder thingy, I'm being technical lol.  I wanted to give it some texture and dress it up to go with my other Fall decor.  Hopefully to go on my new to me sofa table I am in the middle of making.  A DIY coming soon on that, if it turns out hmmm.  As you can tell it's giving me troubles :(
My supplies:

                                                   

Along with a bag of treasures like acorns, 

pinecones and leaves my grandchildren 

gathered for me on their treasure hunt yesterday.

A quick DIY and I like it.  I know it's simple
 but that is what I am liking this season.

My verse that stood out to me this
 morning in my devotions. 
This I recall to my mind,
therefore have I hope.  Lamentations 3:21

I am so thankful for Hope it is my favorite word.  It kept coming up in conversations and in my devotions a lot during my husband's transplant time.  I kept hanging on to that one word that meant soo much to me.

Orange to white and gray

I had some not so pretty pumpkins I wanted to brighten up.  I wanted more neutral looking fall decor inside the home.
Here is the before,

                                    

And the after, blending much better with my decor.  It is amazing what a little paint and spongebrush can do.  I used chalk paint from Joann Fabrics and some I found at Walmart.

Have a Happy Day!!!

Fall outside

Here is some of my outside Fall decor.  I have to get some white pumpkins and cinderella pumpkins yet.  I will be on the search much to my husband's dismay. He really doesn't see the need to decorate for Fall outside he is more into the Christmas decorating but he tolerates it for me. :)


Touches of Fall on the porch:

                                                         

Some old lanterns I had I painted gray and added decor.

My Summer flowers still hanging on with all this warm weather we are still having.

Another lantern

My sunflowers are doing great this year, even getting planted extremely late and not much attention.

  Hope you enjoyed the pics.  Have a great  weekend!

                            For Thou wilt light my candle; the Lord God will enlighten my  darkness.  Psalm 18:28

This verse was one I read this morning and it just encouraged me I hope it does you today too.  Have a wonderful day!

Little bits of Fall around the house

I have been setting out a little more Fall around the house.  I don't really do the orange too much inside.  I like to keep it more neutral, now outside I am doing more color, more on that at a later post. 

                  This is a stick on from the Dollar Store that I put on a canvas I washed in some gray paint.     We love the saying especially after our last year :)                    

                                       

My coffee table made out of an old trunk got a little Fall on too.

A lttle vignette on my iron birdbath

My trough my hubby built me last year before he got so sick.

 Filled with some cotton plant I found at Michaels. Dollar store leaf garlands and some sweater pumpkins.

 I tried to go a little rustic glam with my fall decorating with the mercury glass pumpkins and rustic wood.

Thank you so much for visiting, It makes my day.
