Welcome to 

TUTORIALS TIPS AND TIDBITS #71

Before we  begin tonight... I have an important question...

GIVE THANKS PRESSED LEAF PICTURE TUTORIAL

Let's talk turkey! Well, not turkey literally... let's talk about Thanksgiving!

I recently did a survey on my FACEBOOK PAGE asking "What is your favorite holiday",and the majority of those that answered said Thanksgiving was their favorite!

Yet, I often feel that Thanksgiving gets squeezed out of the holiday limelight by Halloween and Christmas!

Here's an easy tutorial to help celebrate Thanksgiving and it's true meaning...

LIVING ROOM CURTAINS

I worked all last weekend to finish the curtains in the living room.

 I've was dreading and putting off this project for at least 6 months! And they were actually quite easy to make. 

 I'm so happy they are finally hanging in the living room...

Happy Trick Or Treat! 

Here at StoneGable, we don't have many trick-or-treater. So sad!
Because we live in the middle of corn fields and have no close neighbors, we get very few costumed kids excited for candy!

I miss that...

DRAW YOUR LINE... WITH INDELIBLE MARKER!

Before my children learned how to drive, they were a captive audience.

Because they were very active in sports and ballet and cheerleading and church and drum lessons and the sort, we spent A LOT of time in the car! Lot and Lots of time! 

There they were, safely strapped into the back seat ... a captive audience. We talked about everything under the sun and I imparted my very best wisdom to them from the driver's seat...

PUMPKIN BREAD IN A JAR

If October were a food it probably would be pumpkin bread...pumpkin bread with a crumb topping.

Delicious, super moist, and full of autumn flavors!

Fall in a jar!

TUTORIALS TIPS AND TIDBITS #70

I'm loving all the fall decor that is showing up this time of year! If you come here looking for ideas, especially for fall, you will leave with a ton of creative ideas and inspiration.

Here's just a few great posts from last week to get us warmed up...

BURLAP WREATH TUTORIAL

I know I must be one of the last bloggers to make a burlap wreath.

Why did I wait so long?  It's sooooo easy and is almost fool proof! And, here's the best part, it can be re-decorated and re-embellished for every season!

Here's how I made mine...

FALL PILLOW LOVE

Look what I found in my mailbox a few days ago! New fall pillow covers!

If you have been reading StoneGable for any length of time you will know that I have a love affair with pillows!

I don't think I have ever seen a pillow I could not love... and these are no exception...

ON THE MENU MONDAY ~ WEEK OF OCT 20, 2013

Today has been the perfect fall day, here at StoneGable! Cool temperatures, glorious blue skies, sunshine, and football!

The corn has been cut in the back field and I now have a panoramic view of the fields, rolling bucolic hills and farms around my home! I love love love the change of seasons... especially fall.

I'm sending you a little of the season in some of my recipes this week! Warm comfort food and what's being sold at local farm stands.

Now here's what's ON THE MENU...

STONEGABLE IS AT THE PICKET FENCE

Hi Friends! I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be AT THE PICKET FENCE today!
