Ordinary Days

Ordinary October Days.
Pretty weather, rainy weekends, watching football. Making chocolate pumpkin cake for son's birthday.
Finding a dollhouse that I didn't need at the thrift store. I have some ideas for a redo for this. I want to use it as a storage shelf in my craftroom. I just could not pass this up-total price $2.47.
    
  
Using fall color woolie squares to make some fall wreaths. I will put these in my shop this week. They feel so soft and warm. Since it's too warm to wear sweaters around here, I just cut them up and make things out of them.The leaves have barely started to turn here in Texas.  I'm definitely in the nesting mode. What are you up to on these October days? I hope you are enjoying the weather.

  1. I'm glad you rescued that dollhouse. I had plans to use one my zillion dollhouses as storage. Miss Josie is enjoying it now. Beautiful wreath.

  2. I love the doll house. Can't wait to see what you do with it. The wreaths are lovely. I love the idea of a pumpkin cake for a Fall birthday and chocolate frosting to top it off.

  7. I've got to let Vickie know that she must get her eyes checked again. She's going to come for a visit and wonder why the cute dollhouse shelf isn't in the bathroom! :D What a cute idea for a shelf. for $2.47 I couldn't have passed it up either! Looking forward to seeing what you create with it!
