Pumpkin Carving

I know Halloween was over a while ago, but I was cleaning and found these fun looks that I wanted to save.  They are from the October 2014 Woman's Day Magazine.

So Cute!

Fabric ABC Fun!

Here are some cute sets of fabric alphabet my daughter made for her nieces and nephews.

It all started with this trial set that we have in our family room, created with black and white fabric scraps.

From there it branched out to one set for each of our "married with children" children.


Animal Print

Chevron






Bunting Love

Fish and Flowers

Puzzled
(though I didn't get a finished pic, I'm just using the scraps here)

We had fun choosing and purchasing the fabric for each of these sets - we didn't want to stop.  However, this project does require a lot of time, so for that reason we were happy to be done for awhile since there were other things in need of our attention.

These would make a cute garland in a play room or child's bedroom.  Clip them on some ribbon or twine with clothes pins so they could be played with and rearranged to make names or some fun words.

Teepee Party

This is such a cute set up!  A Teepee Party!

I think the assortment of Teepees is adorable, the greenery swags and rocks and fire around them are perfect for creating an outdoor setting indoors.  It's perfect for outdoors too.  

A Lovely Library

I am not really a reader but I love a beautiful library.  This library is one of those beautiful libraries that makes me wish I was a reader.

I love the library balcony!  It looks lovely even though the shelves are empty - yet how much more lovely it would look if they were full.  I could even fill them with some antique china plates, goblets, and teacups/saucers, and anything else of that nature.  (insert sigh!)

The large windows add lovely light to this room too ... awesome!

And look again ..., is that a secret passage way?  That is way too cool and would be the highlight of the house for my children and grandchildren ..., and for me!!!!

Well, that's about all for this post.  I just wanted to pin it and I couldn't from it's original site, so I decided to post it first and pin it from here.  Take the tour at the Ellison Bay Manor if you wish.  There are some lovely looks there.
