Here's a lil peek into our day...crafts & cookies!!! And when my hubby got home from work, he made a yummy fire in the fireplace! (Oh yes, fires are YUMMY! mmmmmm...)
This craft idea was from a really cute blog called, "A Beautiful Mess," which could easily describe my life as well!! Here is the link to her instructions. I decided upon her older version, except we used a sewing machine. We don't have time for that much hand-sewing and the yarn version, while SUPER cute, was a pain in the patootie!

A Beautiful Mess: Fall Garland.
Here are the pics of ours. I made a leaf template on a piece of cardstock, then just held it on the felt and cut away! I knew Caitlin would love to sew it together, so it might it a bit of a family project. She did a simple straight stitch on the longest stitch we could get on our machine and voilà! It was finished. It's now hanging above the fireplace, ready for the Thanksgiving festivities!!

| Of course, I realized after the photos, that we need to clean the soot off of the front of our fireplace. **sigh** |

| Cute! :) |

Here is a close-up of the garland. We just overlapped the tips a bit and sewed a straight stitch.

While Caitlin was sewing the leaves together, I thought Sophia & Emma might want to do something "autumn-y" too. So we decided to bake one of our favorite types of cookies: peanut butter blossoms. Here they are...
