Fall colors and baking

I found the cutest fabric at a consignment store and decided to bring it home with me!  I wanted to bring some more color into my foyer for the cooler months and this seemed to be the answer.

I wrapped my bench cushion in the fabric because I don't know how to make a custom slipcover for it.  It works fine this way since I change it out alot anyway.

I added a few coordinating pillows and a throw.

And voila!  I have a completely new look for the foyer.

If you don't know by now, I get bored very easily with the same look for too long.  So, this is what I do.  I change pillows, fabrics, lamps, anything that isn't nailed down to the floor.  That's right!  And if it is nailed down, I can always get my husband to help remove it if necessary.  Nothing is safe from me! 

This isn't all I changed either.  I made my first wreath.  Yes siree.  I'm sure I'm the last person on the planet to have never made one before, but honestly, I usually just buy one instead.  Well, that can get expensive!  So.......for a mere $3.50, I bought this grapevine wreath at Walmart and added some stuff to it that I already had. 

I stuck in the wispy Fall flowers and then used hot glue for my feathers. 

 I was originally going to do the entire wreath in feathers, but didn't have enough.  Just as I was going to give up on the idea, I thought about doing this instead.  I must say that I'm glad I did because I believe this is more interesting looking anyway.

Now I have a Fall wreath that goes perfectly in my dining room! 

Now of course, all this decorating and crafting can make a girl hungry.  So, what's a girl to do?  Bake a cake! Ah yes.  Doesn't everyone bake a cake after they've been on their feet redecorating and making crafts?  But I have a little secret to confess.  I cheated.

You didn't think I was Martha Stewart did you?!  This is the kind I make.  An easy box mix.  And don't knock it till you try it.  It's good.

Not only did I cheat with the mix, but also by just doing a sheet cake.

As you can see it gets eaten fast around here.

Don't worry though, I saved a piece for you.

Now, I'm going to go rest.  It's been a busy day.
