Pumpkin Craft~ Jute Webbing Pumpkin

Have you seen all of the creative Pumpkin ideas popping up all over the place?
Velvet
Twine
Burlap
Stencils
Glitter
Faux Mercury Glass (Karianne!)
Duct Tape (Vivienne!)
The list goes on…and on…and on.
So, why not add one more to it?
Here’s how to make a Jute Webbing Pumpkin:
1) Wander around the craft store hoping inspiration will strike.
2) See a huge roll of Jute Webbing and stop dead in your tracks.
3) Wonder if it would work? 
4) Figure that at .79 a yard it was worth a try.
5) Buy 3 yards just to be on the safe side only to realize that it was a tad too much.
6) Withstand the strange looks from the clerk at the cutting counter when she asks you what you are going to be using the jute webbing for and you tell her you are going to try and cover a pumpkin with it.

7) Dig a plastic pumpkin out of the attic.
8) Cut strips of the webbing to run the length of the pumpkin.
9) Use your hot glue gun to stick them on, overlapping as you go.
10) The top and bottom will pucker a bit but that’s ok since you will be covering it up with moss.
11) Cover the top with moss.
12) Use your hot glue gun to attach a cinnamon stick “stem”.

13) Stand back and admire just how cute your little jute webbing pumpkin is!
And that’s all there is to it!

    That is such a cute pumpkin! You did a great job.

    Why do they always have to ask what you’re making at the cutting counter? I would say that 98% of the time, I get that strange look from them too. 😀

    Very cute, Vanessa! Defnitely worth trying for $.79 a yard. Sometimes I hate when they ask me what I’m making at the cutting counter. Thankfully, they usually don’t ask for any more detail after I say whatever it is. Sometimes it’s just something I want to try and that could very well fail.

    I just love your webbing pumpkin. My grandmother showed me how to make scissor holders out of this webbing so it is an old friend of mine. 🙂 My sister and I are having a Pumpkin Linky Party right now and I’d love for you to come and link up this webbed pumpkin if you can. Love your site. Linda

Happy Friday! I’m oh so thankful for beautiful s Happy Friday! I’m oh so thankful for beautiful sunshine especially when our family has been hit by illness this week. Everyone is on the upswing, thankfully, and I’m hoping we’ll fell well enough to get outside and soak up some much needed natural vitamin D. After so many days of wet, gloomy weather this is like balm for my soul! 🍃 What’s the weather like where you are?
Here is a friendly PSA for you...do not, I repeat, Here is a friendly PSA for you...do not, I repeat, DO NOT attempt to apply eyeliner while you have the hiccups. It won't go well. Trust me on this one! 😜

In other news, the hot cocoa station is finally gone and in it's place is a fresh new look that was kicked off by finding a beautiful, rustic vase at @homegoods. It feels like my home is rising up to welcome Spring and I'm so ready for sunshine and longer days. 🍃

Don’t forget to check out my stories tonight for Friday funnies! I love hearing from so many of you who say it’s your favorite way to wrap up your week. ☺️

Happy weekend to you dear friends!

What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of March and see glorious sunshine greeting us after a few days of ice and snow. This is the month of hope and expectation and I’m here for it.

Happy March first dear friends! 🍃
Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a r Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a room at all. The 20+ year old washer and dryer we inherited after we got married was hooked up in the garage of our small townhouse. Our second ‘laundry room’ was an improvement because it was actually INSIDE the house but it was in our family room behind bifold doors.

So when we moved into this home 15 years ago I literally jumped up and down when I saw this real laundry room. Never mind that it had dated counters and an old stained sink. It was an actual room!

We made minor updates to it over the years but other, more visible, spaces took priority so we spent our resources on beautifying those.

But, last summer, we finally had new counters installed and made a few more updates that have completely transformed this room. 

Now, it’s almost a joy to do the laundry…almost! 😉

For more photos and details head on over to my website using the link in my bio.
“In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. I trust in “In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.
I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.”

Psalm 25:1-6
Ronald Reagan famously said that “all great chan Ronald Reagan famously said that “all great change in America begins at the dinner table.” I think this is true for everyone worldwide. You simply can’t put a value on the importance of gathering together for a meal with those you love. But, sometimes, we can struggle with getting the conversations flowing. So for this #tiptuesday, I’m sharing some tools we’ve used in our home. 🍃
There is just something about the combination of l There is just something about the combination of lemon and honey. It’s rustic yet fancy, sweet yet tart, spring-like yet comforting on a cold winters day. 

And that’s why this is hands down one of my favorite recipes! I decided to take a basic tea cake and turn it into a loaf of sweet, tart, simple yet fancy goodness and the only thing bad about it was how quickly it disappeared!

🍋You can find the recipe by following the link in my bio 🍯
“Have regular hours for work and play; make each “Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well.” (Louisa May Alcott).

The sun is shining and it’s the perfect day to photograph our laundry room which got a bit of a makeover. This space is definitely useful as it bears the brunt of everyone tromping through it all day long but I think I’ve managed to make it pleasant as well. One of my greatest realizations in my homemaking journey was when I recognized that those two things weren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, it’s the pleasant that enhances the useful and vice versa.

I’ll have the rest of the makeover reveal on my website soon but I just couldn’t resist sharing a sneak peek with you today! 🌿
A little bit of snow and ice leading to a two hour A little bit of snow and ice leading to a two hour school delay and then a little bit of sunshine followed by fog. That’s how our Valentines Day began!

I’m so thankful for my cozy home and my loves who live here with me and I can’t wait to spoil them a bit tonight. We don’t go crazy on Valentine’s Day but I try to still make it sweet even if it’s simple. 💕
