Living on Cloud Nine

LOVE MATCH

Oh, how I love me some activewear! Especially cute tennis skirts! But you know what is all the rage now? Pickleball! And that’s just what I love about these two outfits, breathable, movable fabric not just for sports but for buzzing around and errands! These are the types of outfits that I wear out on my errands! Nice transitional pieces too as with this first outfit from Denise Cronwall, you could throw on a hoodie or a Jean Jacket.

Aren’t these colors so pretty!

And with this Dona Jo cuteness which I keep calling it leopard, but the description says cheetah, lol! You could wear this skirt right to dinner! And for those of you that don’t like the skorts too short, this is a 17-inch length which I think you’re really going to love.

The top is called the move top because it is so incredibly easy to move in it. It has a split back which is modest and covers but lets a little air in.

EASY PUMPKIN CENTERPIECE

People are doing these pumpkin centerpieces all over social media but I’ve been doing them for years; way back with the centerpiece with a real pumpkin and real flowers for my mom‘s birthday in 2014! See it HERE!

Now with the faux pumpkins, they are so much easier, and you don’t have to worry about them rotting so you can use them year after year.

This year, I saw the floral stems in Hobby Lobby and was completely enamored with the blues and rusts and creams. I did a whole vignette on my sofa Console with these colors. And I loved the centerpiece so much that I made two of them!

You guys this is so incredibly simple it’s not even funny! But let me tell you, not all craft pumpkins are made equal. Some are hollow but some are full of Styrofoam like the one I used which ended up being a blessing. You will see several people after they trace the cup opening turn the cup right side up and stick it down with in the pumpkin to hold the flowers, but they just don’t stay put in there without some maneuvering unless you have the Styrofoam. I was able to stick the stems right down in the Styrofoam after I hollowed out the core. As I said, I made two of these, one with the Styrofoam and one that was hollow, and I like the way the stems lay in the Styrofoam so much better

The stems from Hobby Lobby are going fast because a lot of people are grabbing onto the rust and navy-blue motif! I think the colors are so together and I did my entire consul table with these colors and I’m pondering it as the outside scheme with my mums and pumpkins as well.

The pretty velvet pumpkin stems are from Michael’s (HERE) and you will see me using those a lot.

What You'll Need...so simple!

I used a 9” Craft pumpkin HERE

I absolutely adore how it turned out!

What’s your favorite summer meal??

1. Last Weekend Fun

Had a sweet Labor Day weekend last weekend despite the weather not being what we wanted. One of the best things to come out of it is our son and his girlfriend finally got us rents together, although they don’t live at home anymore, lol! I was already good friends with our son’s girlfriend’s mom but we finally got dad‘s to meet and what a good time we had at dinner and a little Notre Dame tailgate.

Such a Bummer and lost but lots of FUN!

Sunday, we took a Stella Mae to a beach town. No other photos, just immersed in a sweet day and eating pizza having cocktails and watching a live band.
