Hocus Pocus Halloween Sign + Sanderson Sisters Brewery Cut File

Are you a fan of Hocus Pocus? Use this Sanderson Sisters Brewery cut file to whip up a quick reverse canvas Hocus Pocus Halloween Sign or t-shirt! I’m a child of the 90s, so naturally I grew up with Hocus Pocus. While I was a little young to see it in theaters when it first came out (I think I was 7 or 8?), once I was a little bit older I remember watching it on network television every year around Halloween. There’s something about that movie that makes it fun for all ages…it hit […]

DIY Fabric Covered Pumpkins

Create beautiful and unique DIY fabric covered pumpkins to match your decor using faux pumpkins, fabric strips and Mod Podge! I have such mixed feelings about the change of seasons from summer to fall…on one hand, I *love* all-things-fall and can’t wait for crisp clear autumn days, sweaters with leggings and boots, football games, fall festivals, and pumpkin spice flavored everything! On the other hand, it’s sad to say goodbye to the warm sun, cook-outs, evenings on the deck and lazy summer days. I think for that reason, my transition from summer to fall decor […]

Fall Centerpiece with Chalk Painted Pumpkins

Many of you have figured out by now that I am totally infatuated with neutral fall decor…all you have to do is look back over the last month of blog posts and you’ll find a pattern! Even though my house is totally decorated for autumn, I have almost no orange, yellow, or red worked into my seasonal decor. I don’t have anything against those colors, but I much prefer softer colors and neutral and natural elements for this season. I started pinning away all kinds of autumn decor inspiration in August, and I even rounded […]
