Favorites of the week!

I've had a blast checking out all your blogs this week-

and I can tell that fall is certainly in the air-
Meg of Megacrafty shows a fab tutorial
 on these felted acorns and
her newest creation with decoupage-
How cute are these?




Trish and Bonnie created their own version
of  the yarn wrapped "BOO"-
the bats add the perfect amount of scary-lol
perfect cuteness to add to your frightful night decor!





Another version of the wool acorn was crafted by
Tonia of the GunnySack-
these acorn are adorable
 and her tutorial looks like a keeper!

 

This cheerful tiered treat holder
 was created by Vanessa
using 3 plates and a couple small planters-
perfect for all your fall treats!


Thanks for letting me share all your creativity this week-
and I'll be back next week for some more eye candy for your pleasure!!

Lampshade update

I have a thing for birds,
 as many of you know
so, when I found this lamp,
I knew I had to make it mine!

The shade was way too plain,
so I dolled it up with deep blue fringe..

It stayed that way for about a year, but I knew it wasn't perfect-
you know when something bothers you 
as you pass it by-
I accessoried the table it was on-
I changed the tchotchkes, now and then-
but,
it still wasn't right so-
I ripped the fringe off and grabbed some burlap-







cut it into strips, rolled it into circlets and created rosettes-
once they were done, I took some rope
 and glued it around the top opening to cover up the raw edges




I love the new look
 and it was so simple to change it up-
 I see the rosettes on so many blogs
 and I love the look and texture
with the burlap, don't you?
 
Well, take care, gotta fly- Claire

the food
the drink
the sights
the ferry ride from woods hole


-arriving in Martha's Vineyard 
-my daughter relaxing on the ferry!
 leaving the ship
what a view!



More to come...
the shopping
the arts
the wedding celebrations
oh my...
Take care for now-
Gotta fly-Claire

I'm psyched to see what you've all been up to!
