September. Our Weekend

 
I love September, especially when we're in it.-Willie Stargell
 
 
Blooming with love~
 
Groceries all bagged up, and ready to go!
 
Apple pancakes-Apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, some whip cream=delicious!
 
 
Our little artist~
 
 
September is finally here, and I'm ready to burn more candles and enjoy some hot apple cider. I can't wait for Autumn to arrive. This weekend we indulged in a few goodies and picked tomatoes from the garden. We used some tomatoes for our grilled kabobs. (They were delicious) I enjoyed my kabobs with a nice glass of Moscato.
Over the weekend we enjoyed some play shopping with our daughter. She really enjoys pretend shopping and cooking.  We bagged up her groceries, and later cooked up some tasty food in her play kitchen. We enjoyed painting in the morning with our little artist. I just love watching her create art. :)
My husband made apple pancakes over the weekend, and I must say I fell in love all over again. :) He's such a great cook!
We had a few garden visitors over the weekend, they must love the colorful blooming flowers as much as I do. I really enjoyed this four-day weekend with my family, we did so much together. I really enjoy the times we spend together, it makes my heart smile. How did you spend your weekend with your loved ones? 
I'd like to say hello to all my lovely new readers. I appreciate all of you. :)

    Michell, yes I love Fall! :) The pretty leaves changing colors, and the aroma of warm apple pie as it fills the entire house. I love it!
    College football, sounds fun! Sounds like you all enjoyed the weekend. That's always nice to hear. Thank you for stopping by. :)

    Sadly I'm far away from my loved ones so I can only chat with them on facetime. I miss them so much but I fill the days with a lot of things to do that way I don't cry too much when I see them. Today was a busy day for photography. A lot of photos were taken today and only more to be taken tomorrow.

    I'm glad you got to enjoy your weekend!

    Aw Dina, I remember you saying that you would be away from family for a little. I know they miss you just as much. I'm glad to hear you have stayed busy with your photography. I absolutely love your photography. Thank you so much for stopping by! :)

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

  Looking to bring a little sunshine into your space without visiting the craft store? This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint. Bonus: it’s the perfect way to reuse an old frame and welcome summer in style! What You’ll Need: 1 paper towel tube (emptied, of course!) Acrylic paint (I chose a deeper pink) Craft pom poms (yellow makes a great center!) Assorted beads (medium for the stem, smaller for embellishing the petals) Foam letters (for your summer message) A reused frame (square or any shape of your choice) Scissors Hot glue gun Creating your summer flower decoration Cut the Tube and Shape the Petals :  Start by cutting the paper towel tube into four evenly-sized sections. Each section will serve as a petal. You should be left with four rings. Next, flatten each ring, then gently reshape it to form soft ovals. These will mimic delicate flower...

DIY Tea Tin Planter for Sweet Mint

Today’s tiny DIY win: turning an empty lemon‑ginger tea tin into a planter for a sweet mint plant that needed some love. I cleaned the tin, added drainage, and nestled the mint inside. It instantly brightened up the space — the colors on the tin and the fresh green leaves look so sweet together. I love giving everyday items a second life, especially when they end up this cute. Quick Video Tutorial  I began this little project by cleaning out an empty metal tea container that I had saved. It still held a soft scent of lemon and ginger, and I loved the idea of giving it a second life. Once I washed and dried it, the container felt ready for a new purpose.   Next, I used a finishing nail and a hammer to create a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tin. Since metal containers don’t have natural drainage, this step helps keep the roots healthy and prevents the soil from becoming soggy. Having prepared the container, I carefully removed the sweet mint from its original pot. The ...
