Window Pane Chandie...



I had this old window pane on one of my walls in my living room.  My mom and I came to the conclusion the other day it was getting a little outdated.


So I asked my husband if he had any plexiglass AND of course he did.  He cut the plexiglass to fit in the sill and used some gold chain to hang it out on our front porch. (Thanks honey~)



Being I'm all about saving money this year, I added some fall foliage, leaves, acorns & pumpkins that I already had. The grapevine pumpkins are new and are only $2.50 at Target in their dollar bin.



Another view...



Up Close View...



And... Here is the view that you see when sitting in the chair looking up.  I thought it would be fun to add some candles that would glow through the glass and maybe even some lights around the leaves-*NEW: Click HERE to see it lit up!

If you noticed I didn't call this a "Fall" Window Pane Chandie-Only because come December it will be decorated for Christmas!

In my previous post-I showed where Martha Stewart had made a grapevine chandelier- I liked it but the grapevine wreaths I had were too small and didn't look proportioned with the table-The window pane was just the right size. 

Have fun, the possibilities are endless~

Pumpkin Chandelier...


 I was over at Martha Stewart's Website the other day and fell in LOOOOOOOOOOVE with this Pumpkin Chandelier~

I was thinking about how easy it would be to make even for those who are not crafty.  All you would have to do is buy a pre-designed fall wreath, add some small pumpkins with tea lights, some twine to hang it with and SHAZAM you got yourself a fall chandelier-(Yes, I said shazam baby!)

So even though I (say it with me) LOOOOOOVE this pumpkin chandelier I don't think I will make it.  For some reason seeing this wreath gave me a whole other idea that I will be showing you all next week.

By the way...There are only 93 days till Christmas and it falls on a Saturday this year. Just thought you should know. ;)

Wordful Wednesday...


 If I had to pick one word to describe my life this last year it would be the word:
 ADJUST
Here's the definition: To change(something)so that it fits, corresponds, or conforms; adapt; accommodates. 

 I'm still trying to make everything fit into my life but truthfully there are so many loose ends it's just unreal.

Seriously, I don't know how you women do all that you do!

What is the one word you would pick to describe your life this year?
