Welcome October

Wow, can't believe it's October already!  Where has this year gone?  I have plenty of projects on my list to complete this month!  Here are a few on my list:



Perfect my Pumpkin Pie Gelato recipe (I'll share when it's perfect!  I use David's Pistachio Gelato recipe as the base .)



Make some sour gummy candy that Glows in the Dark.  The recipe from Our Best Bites is for Jello Jigglers, but making gummy candy isn't much different!  (At least I hope!)



Or maybe these seasonal Pomegranate Jewels.  Yum!



Making more of these cute little fabric pumpkins that I designed a couple of seasons ago.

Happy Friday

How to Make a Fall Wreath

Want to spruce up your front door with a fall wreath?  I'm trying out something new today and sharing a video that shows you just how to do this.  {With a little help from my dog, Jonzy}  Since videos are new to the site, tell us what you think.  Do you like videos?  Do you prefer them over pictures?  I hope you enjoy!

Fall Inspiration

We're officially declaring this week Fall Week on Fresh Nest.  Because we love fall, and we hope you do too.  Here in the midwest, it's already starting to feel cool and crisp.  It's one of my favorite times of year, and robably has a lot to do with the color palette.  Burnt orange, browns, golden yellows, reds, and changing greens.  I can't get enough of those colors {seriously, you should see my home... it's like fall all the time}.

I wanted to start off our fall week with some fall inspiration.  Little DIY projects that you can whip up in a moments time.

 Here's where you can find these goodies:

1. Pumpkin book via cheeky magpie


2. Fall leaves lamp via a little hut


3. Cute mini pumpkins via Liquid Paper {everything looks better in miniature size}


4. Fall paper wreath via haru


5. Leaf coasters via lilfishstudios {bonus: lots of yummy fall inspiration in her flickr stream}

What projects are you working on for fall?  Do you change your decorations when the seasons change?  I love hearing about how other people decorate their homes.
