Falling for leaves and nuts about acorns!

I can't help but be inspired by the beautiful autumn colors I see everywhere I turn....the trees in the front yard, the pumpkin patches at every corner, and the store aisles that are lined with rich Fall decor. Before I turn my attention to Christmas and abandon this season for the year, I have one last Fall burlap door hanger to premier......

While it can be personalized and you know I love to do it, I truly think this one is best left as is. I love the gold paint against the burnt orange background and the combination of the mustard and chocolate-colored acorn that is attached to the top. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Till next time,

Gobble, gobble ya'll!

For you more traditional folks, here's my pilgrim turkey Thanksgiving burlap door hanger. I'm craving cornbread dressing just looking at it ;)!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Gosh almighty!

So, after a lot of begging and pleading from the Ole Miss fans in my family, I finally conceded and designed a Colonel Reb burlap door hanger. It was probably the most difficult and time consuming of all the ones I've made so far, (hello? have you ever tried painting a HUMAN on burlap? sheesh!) so I'm a little scared to even put it out there. But, after all that effort, I figured it would be a shame not to. Here he is!! Hotty toddy, Ole Miss fans! This one's for you!

 There's still plenty of football season left to enjoy this on your front door so let me know if you are interested!

One little Indian boy...

When I recall the Thanksgiving holidays of my childhood, images of sweet potato casserole are equally paralleled by that of my annual Thanksgiving pageant at school. One year I was a pilgrim with a stiff white pinafore and a square cardboard hat and the next, an Indian girl with braids and a dress made of a brown paper bag that was fringed at the bottom. These are the memories I hope my children will make and keep as well, and so this is what will be hanging on my front door come November 1st.

I know, I know, it's not even Halloween yet and I'm already talking about Thanksgiving. But, I'm already getting inquiries, so I figured I'd put it out there. Some of you are REALLY on top of things, I might add! I can change the hair color of the little boy if requested and may even add some braids on the next one if that peeks anyone's interest. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

Rah! Rah! Rah!

Football season is officially here and even though I do not watch a lick of sports, I know this to be true for two reasons:
 1.  My husband is giddy and yelling crazy things at the television
 2.  I have more orders for custom burlap football door hangers than I know what to do with (not that I'm complaining ;)

Here are some of the most recent:

 

And finally, my all-time favorite...it was commissioned by a woman whose husband is hoping for a football team in terms of the number of kids he hopes they will have. Yikes!

 

 

 

If you don't see your favorite team here, that doesn't mean I don't or can't make a football for them....just means I may not have done it yet, so don't be afraid to ask. I love custom orders and would love to help you show your team spirit!

Thanks for stopping by!

A little bit corny

Call me crazy, but I LOVE candy corn! I mean it. I'm what you would call obsessed. The only candy I like more than candy corn is mellowcreme pumpkins and since they are essentially the same thing, I'd say it's definitely my favorite candy. I knew the candy corn craze gene had been passed on to my oldest child, Gray, when his teacher told me he had been put in time-out several times for swiping the whole bowl at his school's Halloween party. And this was when he wasn't even a year old! Now he's in full addict mode and I use them as bribes. But I'm already stressed about what to do when they are gone from the shelves.

So, when the time came for me to make a Halloween burlap door hanger, I asked around for what people wanted to see. When Gray suggested a candy corn, I knew it had to be! So, here it is! Hope you enjoy it!

 This can be made with the above wording, with a family's name, "Happy Halloween", "It's All About the Candy", or any other wording of your choice. You can even opt to leave it plain if you like. Either way, I'd say it's pretty sweet, right?

Thanks for stopping by!

An apple a day

If you're a mom, it's likely that your kids are either already back in school or heading back there shortly. As a mom myself, I feel for all of those mommies that are having trouble letting go, worried about all the new schedules and changes, or just plain missing their babies. But I also think about those poor teachers out there and all the anxiety they must be going through during the "Back to School" season....getting their rooms ready, learning the names and ways of all new children, and mentally preparing themselves for a long year.  Help your child's teacher start the new school year off right with this apple burlap hanger for her classroom door, and who knows? You might just become the teacher's pet! 

Have a great day!
