Fall DIY round-up

Fall always spurs my creativity. Perhaps it's the fresh, crisp air regenerating brain cells fried in the 100-degree heat of summer. Or the shifting quality of light that transforms late afternoon into gold. Or the approaching holidays. Whatever causes this burst of ideas and energy, I'll take it.

Do you feel the same? Here's a round-up of fall DIY projects from the last year to get you started.

Above: This post is actually about pulling together a series of artwork. But I had to include the photo since it always looks like fall in my dining room, which makes me happy.

Below: Flower pot cake stands (topped with pumpkin doughnut muffins).
