Well fall is here and Lindsay is pumped. About a month ago I came home from work and I noticed a few changes around the house. Little pumpkins started popping up out of every
corner of our house. Fall leaves started appearing on the mantles, and candles started to be lit. I can bank on it that every fall Lindsay will have a new project inspired by the latest decorating trends featured in magazines like Cottage Living, Martha Stewart, and in this case this magazine. So being the creative that I am Lindsay likes to take advantage of my “skills”, which means I have a new fall project too! I think I have the easy part this time around. My job is to print out these leave templates(click on the link if you want to start your own fall project). Lindsay
will take the project from there, whew! What I think she is going to do is trace the patterns onto felt, each one on various fall type colors. I think she picked the fabric up from this store. After cutting out the fabric she will hand stitch some yarn for a more detailed look, then string them together and make some sort of fall garland for our fireplace. Usually I am skeptical at first of these crafty projects but they always turn out pretty classy. My wife has an eye for this type of thing. If she wasn’t such a darn good violin teacher I’m sure she would be a high end interior designer/decorator. Well, I will be sure to post the final product. Stay tuned!
