Back from our week’s little break. Did I get everything done I wanted to? Ha! Did I rest? Ha! Did I have a wonderful time? Absolutely! So, I didn’t finish organizing the craft room. And, I didn’t finish the baby’s stroller blanket. And, I didn’t get time in the garden. As a matter of fact, I find myself sitting here now wondering where did the time go? But, no worries. There’s always tomorrow, right? And, although I did have a wonderful time with family and even managed to see a few friends, I really missed you guys. I’d see something on Pinterest and think, I have got to share this! Then, I’d tell myself, No… you’re on a break so break! Anyway, we’re back, and all excited to jump into autumn with both feet! 

I did manage to start and finish one project I have been wanting to do. I got these awesome unpainted wood candlesticks from Casey’s Wood Products. I also got some of their brass plated inserts. Then, I just pulled out my acrylic paints and got busy. It only took me a couple hours, and I now have 5 beautiful candlesticks to go on my seasonal cupboard! We will be sharing many more autumn crafts over the next few weeks! Here is my “wordless” tutorial.
