Becoming Crafty!?!

I've always liked the idea of making my own cute decor for the house, but I have a few problems with it....
1.  No time!  I know, I know if I don't have time now I never will.
2.  Lack of ideas....plain and simple.
3.  I hate staying in the house for long periods of time until the dead of winter.

Earlier this month there were a couple cold & windy days including Nascar Sundays.  Kent knew the next few Sunday (which is our hangout day) were going to be pretty boring for me, so he loaded us up along with some lumber and took me to Dana's to cut the wood I needed to make my projects.  Pretty cute because he got me all set so I could make stuff while we watched Nascar...so I had no excuse and I started making stuff. 

In the making... 

Fun ornaments!

 Then came some pumpkins that I have been wanting to make.  I saw a similar idea a few months ago on Pinterest.  Love Pinterest.  Without it, I would have no ideas...well not many.

These are my favorite!
I'm pretty proud to say I made this stuff myself.  I have gotten a lot of ideas from googling pictures and Pinterest too, but I still think they are pretty great and practically free other than the paint and wire.  The pumpkins are 2x4 out of my wood pile :)  Now what else can I make?
