I’m excited to try the wheat centerpiece idea for a Fall craft.
I’m sure you’ll love decorating with it!
Oh, I don’t want to think about fall yet. We both had Covid in May (Al spent 6 days in ICU!). I wasn’t very sick but got stuck with the fatigue SO I have been gypped out of a lot of day trips and crafting time! Two years ago, I bot clothes at GW for $1 buying pumpkin colored (or contrasting colors) and still have more pumpkins to make! Still love making them with a roll of toilet paper, batting, orange cloth, a faux grape leaf, and wood or rolled brown paper for a stem!
Yes, it’s hard to think about summer ending, I agree!
I’m ready for Fall after looking at all the pretty fall things this week!! Can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve!!
