Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Fall Mason Jars
I love fall and all the colors of fall and I know that a big trend now is decorating Mason Jars so I found this tutorial on making a luminary fall leaf mason jar that Jill over at Create Craft Love has. I really like the way this turned out and it only took a few steps to complete...yep....my kind of project! Why not give it a try. :)
Happy crafting!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Fall Leaf Lanterns
Helloooooo September! Today is September 1st and what a wonderful month I must say. It is my birthday month and my wonderful daughter was born this month too. :) September always starts the fall season for me especially up here in the north country where the trees are in their full fall colors. I just love the fall season!
Some of you are fortunate enough to have the pretty maple and oak fall leaves which are great for so many fall leaf projects. I suppose you actually can use all fall leaves for this tutorial I found. I think the fall leaves on these jars are so pretty. Cat over at No Wooden Spoons has this great tutorial for making these autumn lanterns. Try it out and add these lanterns to your fall decor! :)

Needles-n-Pins: How To Make Fall Leaves
I think one of the prettiest things about fall is all the colors of the leaves and plants. There are so many trees and different leaves and they all turn a different color. Bringing those leaves and colors into your home for your fall decorating can really add a splash of color to your home.
Since I love to decorate for fall I was looking for ways to make some fall leaves and thought I would share some of the ideas I found with you.
Now I am a crocheter so I thought I would start with this one. Craftstylish has this great tutorial on how to crochet these cute leaves.
Burlap items are very popular right now so I thought...hey....why not make some fall leaves out of burlap. Fox Hollow Cottage will show you how to do this.
Looks at these pretty glittery leaves! And they are sooooooooooooo easy to make! 6th Street Design School will show you how to make these. I think I could even do this! :)
My true love is quilts. I love to make quilts and quilted items although time restraints keep me from this at times. Here is a great tutorial from Buttons And Butterflies on how to make quilted fall leaf pot holders. I think I will try this one myself.
Looking at all these tutorials really makes me want to get started on making some fall leaves for my decorating. Hmmmmm.....which one should I start with....let me see. :)

Jacquie's Up-Cycle Nation: Pick Your Poison
Old-timey poison labels add vintage pizazz to any Halloween décor! But crafter beware!! These creepy cheapies are so easy to make you could easily get carried away! (Oh who am I kidding!!? Crafters can never have TOO much of anything!)
Using cast-off glass bottles, a standard printer and Mod-podge, these spooky pieces can be made in minutes from the recycle bin.
Finding awesome vintage labels on-line is half the fun! Popular graphics sites like The Graphics Fairy offer copyright-free labels ready for download. Simply save the image to the computer and print out on everyday white copy paper.
After cutting out the labels use sepia toned stamping ink to add splotchy aging to the labels and darken the edges.
Apply Mod-podge to the back of the label and adhere to the glass bottle. Once the Mod-podge has dried, brush another small amount of matte Mod-podge to the label surface for protection.
Larger bottles can be turned into candle lanterns using decorative grass, wire, and battery operated tea lights. (I found these black tea lights in Target's $1 section.)
Wrap wire around bottle neck making at least 5 rounds for extra stability. Use a smaller cut of wire to create a handle. Drop in the decorative grass and tea light and ENJOY! The poison bottles are now ready for all your creepy decorating plans!
LOVE & UP-CYCLE NATION!

Tuesday Tutorial - Preserving Fall Leaves
Don't you just love the colors of fall. It seems like this time of year the kids are always collecting leaves for projects or maybe even just for fun. Some of the leaves are pretty enough to decorate with as well. Here are a few tips to preserve some of those pretty leaves so the last just a while longer.
The authors at budgetwisehome.com tells us how to preserve leaves with an iron and wax paper.
At gardening.about.com they are showing us how to preserve leaves with glycerin.
This last one is a really clever idea. Iron the leaves flat and dip them in wax. This is a really great tutorial. You can find it at, niagaranovice.blogspot.com
With all these ideas we'll all be able to enjoy the colors of fall a little while longer.
Thanks for joining us today!
