More Fall Decor

When Lulu first arrived, I created a basket full of supplies so I could do something with my hands when I was keeping an eye on her constantly.

She no longer requires constant supervision, but I still have the basket handy to pick up late at night.

I sewed felt "fall" shapes, stuffed them and strung them on thin cord.

The shapes alone didn't make a very exciting banner so wrote the letters for fall on colored wooden tags using a black chalk pen.

The front porch bench seemed like a good place for the little banner.

Flowers in fall colors were recruited from the back yard for the vignette along with a wooden pumpkin and a cross stitch pillow I must have made 20 years ago.

By the time the bench was decorated, I was on a roll.

I found an old grapevine wreath hanging in the garage and created a WELCOME sign for the front door.

A table runner made from the remnants of my old window seat fabric (I still love the fabric) adds color to the dining room table.

My garden has limited flowers in bloom right now so dried flowers in fall colors from Jo-Ann's fill a metal pitcher

Now the house is looking "fallish", but the garden is craving my attention.

My house definitely follows the old proverb, "a woman's work is never done".
