You’ve got to love getting your hands into some autumn crafts for adults, especially when there’s a chill in the air. It’s so fun to craft a wreath with those rich fall leaves — it brings a bit of that autumn inside our homes.
There’s something special about crafting in the fall. With the leaves turning and holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas on the horizon, my inspiration goes through the roof. Excited to share my own fall craft projects and also show off the amazing work my talented friends have created.
Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 142
Ah, it’s finally that cozy part of the year when I bring out the holiday decor and give our home a warm, festive feel. My fall and winter decorations just blend into one another. And I get into my crafty groove as well. But, like that wise old bear Winnie the Pooh says, I’ve got to remember to relax and live in the moment.
“It’s the first day of autumn! A time of hot chocolatey mornings, and toasty marshmallow evenings, and, best of all, leaping into leaves!”
~ Winnie the Pooh
Personal Note from Janine
The season’s pace picks up around this time, with all of us getting pulled in countless directions. I’m over here trying to squeeze in baking, crafting, and decorating, all with the temptation to forgo sleep just to fit it all in.
It’s important, though, to slow down and really take in the season. There’s beauty all around that’s just waiting to inspire us.
Let’s embrace the autumn – and the beautiful leaves, the crispness that starts to settle in, and the warm, cozy evenings.
I’m sending good vibes your way this Saturday. We should all catch our breath before the holiday hustle is upon us.
Enjoy the moment!
Cheers,
