Fall in New England cannot be beat and I’m so thankful we get to spend a few weeks here (my Mainer heart missed it so much)!

We took a stroll through the historic village square of Amherst, NH to see the gorgeous homes and beautiful seasonal decorations! My “if I win the lottery” dream has always been to buy an historic home in a quaint old town and fix it up! Maybe one day!! 🥰

Sometimes it’s just easier to give in! His habit of sleeping under the covers was established long before I ever entered the picture…good thing he’s cute! 🤪 #stanweegram @stanweegram

I recently stopped into my local @walmart and saw so many cute home decor items! So many of these items are totally giving Pottery Barn vibes but at a budget price! I picked up some new throw pillows for our living room along with a few other accessories! Comment “Shop” for a DM with the link to these items and more!

Today’s Crafty Project: A Custom School Spirit T

Today’s Crafty Project: A Custom School Spirit Tee 🎉💙
I wanted to create something cute and toddler-size for C to wear for school spirit days so I bought a $4 plain white tee along with some pretty floral fabric and thread in coordinating school colors and got to work! It’s not perfect but it looks pretty cute overall and I know what to do different next time to yield a more professional result!

The steps:
1) I used a basic word processing tool to print out my letters on regular printer paper. I did have to play around with the sizing a bit before it was just right.

2) Then I used sewable
heat ‘n bond on the back of my fabric before using scissors and the paper letters to cut out my fabric letters.

3) I ironed the fabric letters onto the tee

4) Finally, I used a zig zag stitch on my sewing machine to embroider around the letters, which was the most difficult part because the knit fabric likes to pucker. In the future, I will use fabric stabilizer (parchment paper works too as I made a second shirt and used parchment paper on the underside of the shirt and it worked like a charm) along with a sewing needle made specifically for knits!

Who’s looking for a simple way to spread some seasonal cheer? Print this free recipe card for pumpkin spice cookies then add it along with the three cookie ingredients to a gift bag and voila! I’m gifting these cookie bags to my daughter’s teachers but this would also make an easy and festive gift for a hostess, neighbor, or friend gift this fall! 🍁🎃🍂

Head to my bio @craftyteacherlady for a link to my blog post where you can download and print off the free recipe card. I’ve also linked some options to festive gift bags, boxes, papers, and ribbons!
