Orange and Clove Pomander {Fall Craft}

I don't know if I willed it to happen last night before bed, but when I woke up this morning I felt a little Autumn creep in!  The air was cool and crisp and the sky was bright blue with wispy clouds floating overhead.  Simply lovely.  Even though the midday heat will linger for a couple more weeks, I'm definitely in fall mode! 

One of my favorite things about fall is the smell that I have come to associate it with-  fires, mulled cider, pumpkin spice muffins, and leaves, somehow all magically blended together to make a distinctly "fall" smell.  So comforting. 

Today, being in a fall mood and all, I decided to make a few orange and clove pomanders.

No Sew T-Shirt Scarf {Make it!}

These are really easy to make and I love how versatile they are.

Silhouettes- so classy and timeless {Make it!}

 

There's something about silhouettes that just grab me.  I love their simple, elegance.  It amazes me how a child's innocence can be so easily captured in such a simple medium.  Although silhouettes used to only be hand made and cut, with the increasing availability of advanced photo editing programs to your average joe, we are now able to manipulate our photos infinitely.  This is a very simple tutorial that could prove to be your new addiction!  If you love it and you want to post this somewhere, please do, just link back!

Wire Wrapped Jewelry

I'm feeling very inspired by nature today.  Spring is here and I love it!  I decided to take a few minutes and put my inspiration to work on a neat little pendant. 

Face Mask Heating Pad - A Tutorial

Desperate times call for desperate measures...

For the past week I have been suffering through the world's worst sinus infection.  I literally could not function.  On several occasions I wanted to go take a hot bath to help ease the pain, but the thought of having to walk myself to the bathroom made me borderline suicidal.  Although I had a "warmie" (a homemade heating pad that my mom made for my son) I struggled to heat my forehead, cheeks, nose, eyebrows, etc. and still retain the ability to breathe.  Not an even trade-off!  I vowed that as soon as I could see straight, I would make one for the face, complete with holes for seeing and breathing!  Well, here it is!
