apples


Did you know that apple season starts Sept. 1 on the St. Louis area?  Better get your calendar ready and make a date to go apple picking.

But really all I wanted to say is that I'm having those exact baskets filled with apples at my wedding in a month.  I saw this adorable pic on frolic today.  I guess they need an intern to pack there lunches...

Hand-Made Sunday

Here is one of the things I've been making this week...

First step is to buy 600 muslin bags from etsy.com. Step two:  went to local craft store and bought this stamp on sale and the ink pad.
So I stamped the muslin bags with the leaves and half of them with this bird stamp too.  It's a hint to what is going inside the bag, as well as, a way to differentiate these from the other muslin bags that I'll have at the wedding filled with a surprise.
I went to Lowes and got bags of seeds for a good price.  I picked out the only seed mixture that I could find that didn't have black seeds.  I don't want to have black seeds stuck in my dress for the rest of the day.

After stamping all of the bags, one of my bridesmaids and I filled them with the seeds.  Here is what 300 muslin bags look like.  That basket is heavy too!  It took about 15 lbs of seeds to fill those suckers.  
They all look nice and personalized for my fall wedding.  You could always stamp it with anything like a monogram and your wedding date. I just wanted to bring in our fall theme.

Martha O Martha

Easter is almost here... 

I was perusing THE Martha's website and found about a million ways to decorate eggs.  So I went through most of them and now are giving you the top 8. 

Starting from the top left corner:
1.  Confetti Eggs This involves a tradition of smashing hollowed eggs with confetti on your friend's heads for good luck.  This is an awesome tradition that may need to be started by me this year! 
2.  Tissue Paper Eggs
3.  Flower and Leaf Eggs
4.  Lace Eggs
5.  Botanical Eggs
6.  Paper Eggs
7.  Crepe Paper Eggs
8.  Stenciled Eggs
Conclusion, I must go on this website more often.  All hail Martha!
Have fun dying eggs this week!
