Homemaking is whatever you make of it. Every day brings satisfaction along with some work which may be frustrating, routine, and unchallenging. But it is the same in the law office, the dispensary, the laboratory, or the store. There is, however, no more important job than homemaking. As C.S. Lewis said, "A housewife's work... is the one for which all others exist."

Feelin' Fallish

Here's my front porch (with a newly painted door!). I wrapped foil leaf garland around the railing and made fall leaves out of scrap book paper for the windows. A scarecrow sitting on a mini bale of hay greets guests who drop by.
I love autumn. It is my favorite time of the year and I always go all out to decorate my front porch and the main floor of my home. I take all of the wall decorations off and replace them with something fall-themed. Some of the decorations I have made myself and others I have purchased at my favorite craft stores, Michael's, Jo Ann Etc, and Hobby Lobby.


My hall tree. I made the fall arrangements sitting on it as well as the barn and scarecrow on top. So cute!

My beautiful piano. Everywhere in my living room you'll see glittering autumn leaves scattered about. It looks so pretty and since my kids aren't allowed to play in the living room they stay put!
It takes me a good hour to pull everything off my walls and put new things up but I love it. Fall time makes me happy and so do my fall decorations. My challenge to you is to make or buy something new to decorate your home with this fall. You deserve it!

This is a close up picture of the fall rag wreath that hangs on my front door. I made it a few years back. It is so pretty!

Fall is my favorite season too! I always love how you decorate your home! It always feels so cozy. :)
I've been meaning to make that wreath since I saw yours but haven't gotten around to it. Maybe I'll make one this year.
