How to Make a Quick and Easy Christmas Pennant Garland
I excavated my craft room and found some cute red and green fabric scraps I’ve been moving from storage place to storage place in my sewing room. That put me in a sewing mood. I decided then and there to use those quirky fabric scraps to sew a cloth pennant Christmas garland.

Friday Favorites Linky Party - Week 346
I am trying to knock out as many spray paint projects as I can until it becomes too cold to spray paint. I can't tell you how many clothes I've ruined with paint because I didn't take the time to change into my painting clothes.
There is an answer for that.
It is called an apron.
If you have a sloppy crafting, paint, DIY, or cooking habit you can protect your clothes and buy my This is how I roll apron in my shop LNW Creative Gifts! It features pockets to hold everything that gets lost during a project or recipe and makes a great gift for you or someone you love.
I showed you my latest project. Now you show me yours!

Fall Wine Cork Porch Decoration Ideas
I have this visually dead corner on my front porch. Trying to find something either practical or pretty to fill it gives me fits.
Storage space for new autumn decorations is practically nonexistent in our condo. So I did a little summer and fall decoration shuffle from backyard fall patio decorations (take the fall patio decorating tour here on Condo Blues) to the front porch now that it is too chilly to eat dinner outside on the regular.
Killing one of the mums I bought for the backyard actually worked in my favor. I used the pot of dirt in the metal planter to anchor the wood flagpole I used to hang the quilted scarecrow I made forever ago and haven’t found a good use for until now.
I traced the metal container and cut a circle to fit inside the metal planter with a hole in it for the scarecrow pole to keep it centered in the planter. The flower pot isn’t as deep as the metal planter so I chucked a couple of Husband’s empty protein powder containers in the pot to keep the cardboard from sinking into the planter so I can cover it with decorations and hide the cardboard lid.

How to Make a Reusable Light Up Teal Pumpkin for Halloween
Handing out Halloween candy and ooh-ing and ah-ing over every costumed person who comes to our door is one of things Husband enjoys most on Beggar's Night.
That and testing our Halloween candy for Quality Assurance while waiting for the Trick or Treaters to come to our porch. That was one of my favorite parts of Halloween until I because a card carrying member of the Food Allergy Club. Sad face.
It is a bummer to find almost everything in the candy aisle at the store is something I shouldn’t eat but has to worse for a kid on Halloween. The minute I found out about the Halloween Teal Pumpkin Project I added allergy free treats for the food allergy kids to what we give out on Halloween.
The only thing missing is a teal pumpkin to let food allergy kids and their parents that we have their back this Halloween.

Friday Favorites Link Party - Week 336
How can it be Labor Day weekend already? Do you have plans? One last BBQ blast? Watching fireworks? Football, football, and even more football?
I have some DIY projects planned and time set aside to to watch my favorite guilty pleasure and Labor Day tradition streaming the movie Serial Mom on Amazon Prime. (This is an affiliate link for your convenience)
If you aren't familiar with the movie Serial Mom, Kathleen Turner plays a soccer mom who tries to make the world a better place by murdering people over such
vile and heinous crimes as wearing white shoes after Labor Day.
Basically it's like if Martha Stewart had a dark side that included bludgeoning the neighbors with a leg of lamb for not sorting their recycling and she got rid of the evidence and murder weapon by having a dinner party featuring an award winning leg of lamb recipe while all of the guests rave over the impressive recipe and think she is kind and wonderful to invite them to impromptu dinner parties.
It is also the reason why I am afraid to where white after Labor Day.
Let's party!

Aquaponic Gardens for Lazy Gardeners
Why?
Because gardens, especially vegetable gardens, are needy. You can’t just plant some seeds and walk away until harvest time. Nope. There is the watering, the fertilizing, the watering, the thinning, the watering, the staking, the watering, the pest control, the watering…and did I mention watering the garden?
With all of our summer and warm weather activities it would be nice if there was a way to grow fresh vegetables on auto pilot or inside during the winter when we have more time for more involved projects like gardening. I’ve been thinking about growing vegetables in an aquaponic garden ever since Husband and I saw a display on aquaponics last summer at the Ohio State Fair.
Pin this post for reference!In both hydroponic and aquaponic gardens, the seeds and plants are not planted in traditional soil but some sort of growth medium suspended above a pool or tank of water. We saw examples of plants growing in clay pebbles, stones made from recycled glass, foam baskets, and on a floating raft.

How to Paint a Gas Fireplace
A fireplace wasn’t a Must Have when Husband and I house shopped but I secretly hoped our first home would have a fireplace.
We lucked out when we found our Condo. It has everything on our Must Have and Wish Lists including a fireplace.
I still like the fireplace but I’m falling out of love with the brass accents. I would love to use the brass as an excuse to buy a new brass free gas fireplace with a clear rock insert that makes it look like fire and ice when you light a fire.
However, I can’t justify the resources and expense it takes to replace a fireplace we rarely use. Angie of Country Chic Cottage and Cara of Moore Craft Time issued a Craft Lightening challenge – to make something that takes 15 minutes or less, excluding the drying time for paint or glue.
I looked at my 2012 DIY Goal List and took them up on the challenge. It’s time for a quick and easy fireplace update.

Wine Crate Dog Toy Box or Dog Bed
Blitzkrieg didn’t know what toys were when he first came to live with us. When he stress chewed his fur, I gave him a toy as a positive distraction. Blitzkrieg would look at me as if to say,” I know this is mine because you gave it to me but what do I do with it?” (It still hurts to type this.)
At the time, I whipped up a quickie toy box from a cardboard box. I took the opportunity to try covering the box with wrinkled brown paper bags.
Eh, not much to look at but it works for now I thought. I fully expected Blitzkrieg to stress chew the box. Then I would take the opportunity to replace it with a proper toy box later.
