Feeling Festive this Fall

Yay alliteration, am I right ladies? 

Ok friends, I did very little crafting this fall because I'm primarily working on stuff for the baby (more about that later), but I did class up some foam pumpkins and make a wreath. Here's what's up:

This is one of three foam pumpkins I got for free a couple years back. Now, if orange is your thing, then this won't make any sense to you, but I wanted prettier pumpkins.

I had two of these three paints already in my collection, I just ran to menards and grabbed a third metallic paint that worked with what I was aiming to do (namely, make my pumpkins pretty)

First I set each pumpkin on its own piece of newspaper in the garage and sprayed the top half. I went back and repeated this for two coats because spray paint is kinda finicky. Then I waited for them to dry all the way.

Then, I basically just stood them on their heads and repeated the process. Easy. 

The end result sits happily on the piano. 

I sprayed some jars while I was at it. The rest of these pictures are just how I set up my fireplace. 

Pumpkin by James, age 6 or 7. 

James bought me this deer head. It may eventually end up in the baby's room, but it'll be in our living room at least through Christmas.

This is the zoomed-out view. A lot of reusing stuff I already had and moving things around. The Hogwarts travel poster on the right side of the mantle is my fave.

Here's our fall wreath. The twig wreath and the burlap ribbon was pretty cheap, and the rest used to live on the blue twig wreath.

Alright, that's our fall decor for the most part. Once we get the baby's room finished, I'll share all the crafting I've done. Expect to see the cutest baby blankets ever. I'm super proud of the quilt I made. So simple, but really special.
