Falling in Love with Autumn

Fall is my favorite time of year...sure, spring has the flowers and the rBlogger in draft: Design Phoenix - Create Postelief that winter is over.  But fall has changing leaves, a crispness to the air, and football season.

In honor of the best season of the year, here's a collection of fall-themed crafts that I put together:

First Stop:

• Threadbanger's own Fall Project Roundup, featuring their collection of fall-themed crafts

Fall Treats:

• Ramshackle Solid--Making Acorn Flour
• Kaboose-- Nature Luminary Candle Holders (pictured above) 
• Folding Trees-- Free Paper Chicken (or is it a Turkey?) Download that would make a nice Thanksgiving centerpiece
• ReadyMade:  Build a Brick BBQ and enjoy fall while it lasts (for the truly ambitious)
• Truly wishing that I could find a decent knitted beer cozy tutorial online to share with you.  I knitted some of these up in my guy friends' favorite football team colors.  Come to think of it, though, I never heard of them actually using them....hmm....
  

Halloween:

• Bakerella--Spooky Sweets (pictured above).  You have to see these adorable treats.
  
• Julie K in Taiwan-- Halloween Paper ornaments
•  For some [Warning: I Mean This] gross Halloween decoration ideas, Mental Floss--DIY Halloween Decorations 2007 provides some disgusting ideas
  
• See my previous post How About Orange's pumpkin decorating roundup 

Cool Weather Fun (maybe not Fall-specific, but I like them):

• Resurrection Fern:  Scarfette tutorial (above).  I couldn't wear this cuz I'd feel like I was choking, but it looks like just the answer for a nippy fall morning 
• Knitty Magazine:  Maple leaf purse (It's cute!  Check it out!)
