Warming The Hearth

The jack-o-lanterns were there in October.

November still doesn't have very cold days to have a fire going daily...so while I was unpacking a box I came across the solution.

These candleholders I made a few years ago:

It's simply straight sided glass vases, candleholders and even drinking glasses. I then used papers in different shades of creams, tans and whites....drew a pattern lightly in pencil on the papers....took the thread out of my sewing machine and "sewed" the pattern on the papers! The needle just poked little holes in the paper in a WAY more efficient manner than I could have ever done! Use some double stick tape to attach to glass containers!

They're even pretty in the daytime!
Opening that box brought a smile to my face....I had made these for centerpieces at a MOPS special dinner we had many years ago...in a town we no longer live in. ...but still have dear friends there...and great memories of times like this. You past fellow MOPS moms...remember these? Which special dinner was it???

Nice and Simple

My peeps....have you seen the cute fall peeps that are out?

That little cat sitting on the edge of our cider cup is one...plus they make ghosts and pumpkins too.

Just cut a slit at the bottom and slide it on your cup.

Enjoy!
