I am proud of myself for how far I have come. This time last year I was deeply depressed and questioning my move to Seattle. I had one friend, a shitty job to pay rent while I rebuilt my business, and was dating someone who I absolutely should not have been dating to pass time and feel a little less lonely. NOW, I am steadily building a job and career that is life affirming, I have so many sweet friends and a girlfriend, and way better mental health. A year ago I had no friends to pumpkin pick with, or have a Halloween brunch with, or dress up and go out with. And this year I have all of that.

Incorporated onto wreaths, strung on trees, tied on gifts, you name it! They also make great garnishes! I used to have a dehydator so drying fruit was pretty easy. Now that I don't, I did it in the oven. Which turned out to be just as easy! The smell of the oranges drying is incredible. It makes your whole house smell like CHRISTMAS. That\u0026nbsp;+ eucalyptus\u0026nbsp;+ pine. So luxourious. Not only do they look whimiscal and beautiful, but they are eco friendly too! I love decorating with biodegradable materials.

I made glass ones later and they look so much better. Remove the top of the ornament, and set aside. You want to spray the outside of the ornament, so you want to be able to spray it without touching it. I put a straw in it and then placed the straw in a cup filled with potting soil. Anything like this works, maybe you could use an egg carton. Just something to prop it up. Fill a spray bottle with 50\/50 water and white vinegar. Lightly spritz the ornament so beads of water appear.

How to hang them, how to dry them, etc. I made my first dried flower wall years and years ago in high school on my bedroom wall. I would pick flowers from my mothers massive gardens as well as wildflowers when I was out on trail runs and then I would hang them up to dry (or press them in a giant dictionary). This past spring and summer, I would always get leftover flowers from weddings and photo shoots and Andrew was constantly bringing me my favorite peonies and garden roses. My desk was constantly like a garden. I started hanging the flowers up all over my room and then I realized that I should make another flower wall (I was also running out of space and had a giant wall that needed decorating). Then I moved from my apartment back to a dorm, and reassembled my wall in a slightly different way so as to not damage the wall. I realized I actually do have a lot of information to share on how to make a dried flower wall.

I primed my skin with Aloe Vera (this acted as a protective barrier and prevented future breakouts). I first started with white halloween face paint makeup. Sponged onto around my eyes, on my eye lids, nose, close to but not quite up to my eyes (I didn't want the makeup too close to my sensitive under eyes). Then I filled in with white eyeliner and put white eyeliner in the waterlines. I set all of this with a translucent powder. Then I put on brown halloween face makeup paint. I sponged this onto my forehead, and around and down to my cheeks, then my collarbone and neck. I set all of this with my regular bronzer. Then I used a darker brown powder (actually powdered liner from Bare Minerals, but a darker bronzer could work as well, or even a matte eye shadow), to fill in my cheek bone hollows, and under my jaw. Then using black eye liner I drew a line up my nose connecting to my eyebrows. I filled in the tip of my nose with black eyeliner, and subtly filled in my eyebrows as well. I lined my eyes at the lashline and also at the crease and connected them in a wing out. Also, a bit under my lower lashline (right where my smile lines are) I lined in black liner. Added white dots on my collar bone, cheeks, and forehead. Black mascara, and fake eyelashes! I had so much fun with this! There are also so many ways to do it. Some girls also fill in their lips, you could just use makeup (sans thick face paint) for a more subtle look, or use even more halloween face paint for an even more intense look. I think setting the face paint with makeup makes a really great finish, that isn't cakey or greasy but still really intense, dewy almost. Also, using thin layers and building up is definitely the way to go. For my hair I used a thin stretchy head band, stuck some sticks in and tucked the front pieces up and under. SO fun! The makeup all came off in layers with grapeseed oil, warm water, and a washcloth (+ a little scrubbing). Already day dreaming about next years costume...\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003EFor Andrews costume; He wore a black shirt and I cut white construction paper and attached it with safety pins to his shirt, to be road lines.

Add seasonal fruit, such as, figs(- the best!), peaches, apples, and grapes. Mix in dried fruit, such as cranberries. Nuts! Crunchy pairs well with the fruits and cheeses. If you are interested add olives and charcuterie- I hate both so I opted out. And a mix of crunchy crackers and chewy french bread.

If you do too, be sure to add a food safe seal, or cover with parchment paper or plastic wrap. And of course, pair with your favorite wine. We chose a spicy full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon to offset the sweet fruit and strong cheese. Hand calligraphed labels for the jars and a hand done menu are the finishing touches. Make your own label by cutting gingham blue patterned paper into a tag shape, punching a hole, and attaching a string. Oh!

She cut it down while walking the dogs and put it in a bucket with dirt for me. I have the sweetest, most thoughtful, and kind hearted Mum!

But I loved the fact that it was in a mason jar, because as you certainly know by now, I LOVE mason jars. And I loved the fact that the lid was a pin cushion. So I decided to DIY! The best part is that you can completely customize it using whatever fabric you please, and you can fill it with whatever your sewing essentials are.
