I had no idea...
how amazing bunting is?!? On Monday I decided to make my own bunting for an upcoming craft fair. I love the look and just felt the need to make one. I didn’t have a pattern or any directions, but it turns out that this may be one of the easiest projects on the planet.
And how about that pinwheel fabric, eh? What do you think?
I’m thinking I may have to share this...

Happy Friday! I’m sorry I was MIA yesterday. I was a little ill and had no energy to do A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G. Another week has gone by and I can hardly wait for my weekend to begin. It’s my anniversary this weekend, so we’ve got some plans. Some fall plans. Some pumpkin farm plans. And some Dave & Buster’s plans. It’s going to be super. Do you have anything special...

Baby Macnicholas Shower Revealed!
There was this party a few weeks ago. With the help of my friend, Megan, I threw a shower for my friend/Megan’s sis-in-law, Sally.

I finally had the chance to put some pics up and wanted to share with you!

Tut Tuesday: Glamorous Glitter Pumpkins
IT’S TUESDAY! And one step closer to fall. I am getting so antsy that I have started to put up my decor for fall and for upcoming HALLOWEEN. Yesterday, my friend Ashley and I had a little crafty day of our own. We knocked out a few projects and got started on others that will soon grace the cyber pages of The Proper Pinwheel. Now, I am not the first to glitter a pumpkin. It’s been done...

If it's warm where you are,throw this party.
I was browsing through CAKE and just came across this charming and simple party for grownups: Outdoor Movie Night. It kind of makes me a little sad that summer is over. It’s funny because I posted about Halloween yesterday… and now I’m posting about this! Don’t you love the popcorn in the apothecary jars? And how about the “Take a sheet, grab a seat” line? So...

Can't stop this
Nobody loves Halloween more than me. I live for this spooky holiday. I feel that one month is not enough time to enjoy all of the decorations that are out there. I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to start putting up our Halloween decorations this week. And our front door is about to get a makeover…
I saw this wreath relic from Martha a couple of years ago and had to make one...

Tut Tuesday: Vampires hate onions, not garlic.
Hey folks. I want to share one of my favorite dishes with you: Garlic Parmesan pull-apart bread with marinara sauce. So yummy. I was browsing the food section on Pinterest a few days ago and came across a very familiar recipe. I used to make something similar to this ALL the time. You know, because I love the carbs. It takes a little time because the bread is made from scratch, but it’s...

Baby gifts!
I’ve been meaning to post these for a while now. I’ve been screen printing onesies for mommies-to-be and these are some of the most popular. Ostrich feathers class up even the classiest baby. I swear. I need to get an adult onesie. And so do you.
Do you have a special baby in your life? Do you have a baby shower coming up and are looking for a unique gift? Email me and...

Let’s talk about flowers. They are quite possibly one of my favorite things. They are beautiful. They smell nice. They have AMAZING color. There is a HUGE variety so the combinations are endless.
If you are working with fresh flowers, the first thing you need to do is decide what flowers you want to use. This will help you determine the size and shape of the vase you will put them in. If...

Too much sugar? No such thing.

Well, let me tell you…. it was phenom. And super sweet. And smelled so good. And we ate our...
