Refreshing.

I'm longing for sunny days, shorts, blended drinks, outdoor bubble blowing, sidewalk chalk doodling, and colorful flowers in my garden. -It's all so refreshing to me.













I enjoy warmer days. Hummingbirds in the garden. Our daughter runs through the grass, and simply enjoys her time being a kid. I enjoy my time in my garden planting and pruning. Gathering up fresh vegetables, washing, and preparing them for our meals. -I miss all of this. The weather is still cold here in Colorado, but I'm looking forward to sunny days! -It's all just so refreshing.

    I'm looking forward to warmer days too. It hasn't been bad here at all, but still, it would be nice to go out in a short-sleeved shirt and maybe see a few butterflies!

    I can imagine that cold weather, while it can be snuggly and cozy, may be a little harsh at times. Sunny outdoor fun and blossoming flowers brings lots of joy. It's been colder here too and I am so pleased that the sun is out today! Stay safe and warm. Enjoy your day.

    Wow, I adore your pictures! So lovely! :) Here in New Brunswick Canada it does not look that nice outside. We have tons of snow, and it's cold. But looking at your pictures made me excited for spring!

      Melly, thank you. I really wish it looked like that here right now. We have been experiencing a bit of snow as well. I am looking forward to when my flowers are blooming again, and the sun stays out and warms us all. :) Thank you for stopping by.

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...
