Only 45 more days...

Seems hard to believe that another year has passed. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was getting these items out for last years holiday boutiques. I gues the saying is true that "time flies when you are madly trying to finish projects for the holidays".  Enjoy!

Winter

We really can't start thinking about Christmas without knowing that Winter will be here soon. So, here is my way of helping me get through the dreary days of clouds and snow and slush. {and these will all be at the boutique as well}

 And, if we are talking about winter, we also need to talk about love. I have loved making these blocks in celebration of Valentine's Day.

Blessed

If you don't already know by now, I love this time of year. The colors, the smells and of course being closer to family. There is also another reason why this time of year holds a special place in my heart. It has to do with a reaffirmation of the knowledge of eternal families.  Enjoy some more reclaimed wood signs.

{this is my favorite-my hubby came up with this concept}

getting ready...

Now that Halloween is over, I have been busy getting ready for the Heartfelt Boutique.  It is held in this really cute old church.

{It happens to be the first church in West Jordan. This historic sandstone building was originally used as a meetinghouse for Mormon pioneers. In 1937 the Archibald Gardner Camp of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers restored the building and renamed it “Pioneer Hall.” It has been used as a dance hall, social center and a house of worship ever since.}

This boutique is done four times each year. And, I have been lucky enough to be in it all four times this year. And, since you have seen all my pumpkins here, here and here, I will be showing you other items that will be there.

Here we have some fall:

 {these are made of wood-duh-that happen to be outlet covers}

4x4 wood pumpkins

I also love working with 4x4's. I just love that they are so rustic and bulky.  Here is my take on a 4x4 jack-o-lantern.  Again, I used Pumpkin Carving cartridge from Cricut.

I love that angry one in the front. He's my fav.

My first 4x4 project was a pumpkin.  But, I couldn't stop at just one.  I had to make a set of three.  I painted them orange. Then I added a twig, fabric, spanish moss and a leaf.

My hubby prefers them stained. I like both ways depending on what look you're going for.
