Here is SW Virginia it has been hot, hot, hot! However, today it's supposed to cool down to the upper 80's! (cool is a relative word!). So what have I been thinking about with all this hot summer weather everyday? Why Fall of course! The first project was a doll that came from last years fall edition of the Create and Decorate magazine. That is my very favorite magazine. It's a little hard to find, so when you do, send in your subscription so you want miss any of the great crafts!
Meet Autumn, my fall Amish doll! I never could find a good place to photograph her, sorry the photos are dark.
Her body and apron are made from an old flour sack that my grandmother gave me. I embroidered her name on her apron so none of the other dolls could take it!
These little Halloween ornaments were adapted from the new Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Crafts magazine. If you love crafts, run, do not walk, to wherever you get your magazines and grab it. It is loaded with beautiful crafts!
My little witch shadow box is made from the top of a jewelry cardboard box. Just covered with scrapbooking paper and added some doo-dads and ribbon!
This little pumpkin sitter is also the top of a jewelry box and got some orangeish-gold glitter to give him some bling!I loved making these and I will probably make a few more with Christmas elements.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I love them all -especially the doll. I recently discovered the magazine and bought some back issues. That's where I got the pattern for the fall candle mat I posted about the other day.
Have a great weekend!
I am just recovering my childhood love of cloth dolls. It is so nice that you can make your own.
Oh they're all so cute :)
Your doll is so cute. You know I made a cloth doll once...it turned out so scary, I got rid of it. Now I am sorry I didn't keep it. Yours I would keep!
What a cute doll! I'll have to keep an eye out for that magazine.
Such cute projects. They all turned out great!
I love the Amish doll. Cute little Halloween craft items as well. Halloween will be here before we know it. I just heard that Labor Day is only three weeks away. Unbelievable.
