A table arrangement of grains celebrates the bounty of fall. In addition to wheat, which symbolizes a fruitful life, this textured display includes other dried grasses (available at crafts stores), so it can be made weeks ahead. The final flourish? A luxurious satin bow.

I swear, I am not usually this person; I never make holiday or seasonal decorations. And yet, last week at the grocery store I spotted these cute gourds and knew that I had to do something with them.

It actually didn’t occur to me that this would be a great activity to do with my little guy until he got home from school today and squealed with delight at the thought of making monster faces. He quietly worked on his faces for almost two hours!

For the serious Halloween reveler, the trick-or-treat bag isn't merely a vessel for the evening's spoils; it must also be a spooky accessory to his or her costume. To create a bag equal to the task, all you'll need is an old pillowcase, a bit of rope, and some iron-on patches. Choose from our assortment of ghostly faces, or you can create your own gruesome expression.

Here are some new wooden pendant necklaces I made. Circles are way tough. I used pre-cut biscuits (not the ones you eat!) for a guideline, but I cut these myself. I had to do a lot of sanding, but hey! Circles! And they are very shiny.

Went to a beautiful baby shower this past weekend. The shower gift bag (recycling becomes art) combined with the Illustration Friday topic of Citrus and Voila, another painting is born! These colors felt so “citrusy” to me, I just couldn’t resist using them today for this IF topic…even though I have a lot of work to do, that I must go do now.
