It’s the fourth day of Fall blogging with The Sits Girls and I’ve been having fun..up until now. 🙂
So today’s prompt is to share a recipe or craft that is inspired by this special time of year. I’m not a real crafty sort of person, except for an occasional attempt here and there; mostly around Christmas. (Click to see my ‘they-turned-out-so-so’ ornaments). But that’s about the extent of it.
Okay, I’ll fess up. This is what I did to satisfy that crafty urge that begged to be fulfilled when the weather turned cooler. Promise not to laugh. I usually take the item pictured below that I’ve had for years, find some pretty red, orange and yellow leaves, a few acorns, and a pine cone or two and bam…I have a centerpiece. That’s about as close as I get to crafting.
As far as the recipe goes…I do love to cook, but I’m not a food blogging kind of person either. And no recipe really stood out that had to be shared, so…I tweaked this little writing assignment to make it fit me.
My friend Gabrielle has been busy decorating her house for Fall. She posted a picture of her front porch that I simply love! It’s what I want my front porch to look like when it grows up. With permission (and a photo) from the artist herself I present you with….drum roll please, Gabrielle’s porch…
Isn’t it pretty? She says it’s a work in progress, but I love it just the way it is. Thanks Gabrielle for letting me share and hopefully saving face (or not).
I’m not terribly crafty either, but I do enjoy baking, so I posted a recipe!! Also, I hope to get some pumpkins this year. Ooh, and your friends porch looks beautiful, thanks for sharing!
Going to check out your recipe.
I know the feeling with the crafts and recipe blogging. Your friends porch looks wonderful! Hey, your blog background looks like mine. Happy Fall!
Going to check out your blog. Great minds think alike!
I want my porch to look like Gabrielle’s porch when it grows up too. So lovely.
I’m not at all a cooking person…and my craftiness only goes so far.
Love your comment. 🙂
Beautiful porch! Yeah, I’m not really crafy either. I love that you borrowed from a friend to fulfill this one.
To me, decorating for the holidays is just making a mess I have to clean up later. So not worth it. I do love looking at the decorating of others, though.
Stopping by from SITS. Have a great day.
Haha…your decorating for holiday thoughts.
I think your pumpkins look great! It is easy to feel pressured with all the amazing things on Pinterest, but most of us do not have the time, energy, funds, to go all out. Found you on SITS – have a great day!
Aww, thanks for you kind words about my pumpkins. I do agree with your Pinterest thoughts.
I can never comment on your posts, and what a great one it was today!
I LOVE that. I would love to be more crafty than I am.
You love the porch? Me too!
