Our DIY this month is a fun burlap flower. It's a great fall decoration that can be added to just about anything: a burlap wreath, fall garland, table centerpiece, etc. 
First I cut a 6 foot long by 2 inch wide strip of burlap. Then I threaded a large darning needle with package string and knotted it 2 or 3 times on the end. I did a basting stitch across the bottom of the strip. When I got all the way to the end, I pulled the string, gathering it into a ruffle. I didn't gather mine supper tight. I tied knots in that end of the string. Then I cut a circle out of burlap that was about 4 inches wide, curled the ruffle into a spiral, and glued it down onto the circle with fabric glue. I pulled off any excess strings of burlap sticking out.  My flower is about 6.5-7 inches wide. If you would like a smaller flower, simply cut a thinner strip of burlap. 
We hope you are having a fabulous fall, enjoying the gorgeous weather and fall activities!

I've been taking photos for as long as I can remember. Sometimes they suck, sometimes I get lucky. So I have all these photos that I've been storing up that haven't really been serving any purpose. Some of them I really love and I felt like it was a waste. So, I decided to open another Etsy shop. Just photography on this one. I'm hoping that someone else will love them too, and will want a nice big print on their wall to make them happy every time that they look at it.

Here are a couple of sneak peeks.
