Grape Juice and weekend craftiness

Ha!  This weekend I got my craft on!  With a little help from Fabulous Friday/Super Saturday and some ornery starlings.  I will apologize for picture quality...have yet to get a new camera so I am still using cell phone pictures.
When I got home from work on Thursday, I was met with some depressing news...
The evil little starlings had been having a feast in our back yard.  Oh and the real kicker...I am relatively certain that these are the same little beasts that we LET build a nest in our attic, poop all over our rain gutter and cars, and in general be a loud obnoxious nuisance.


Nice way to repay our hospitality!

So Aaron and I clippers in tow went outside to survey the damage and determined that we would have to harvest early...that is if we wanted to harvest at all. Next year I am investing in netting and maybe a nice bb gun.  We lost at least 1/4 of our crop to those darn birds.


We wanted to wait until the first frost to harvest...then they would have all been ripe


Yummm....this is just the first batch...all in all we got nearly three gallons of pure sugar free grape juice.  All right that is not entirely honest...you know me I WILL be adding sugar ;)
Super cute fabric flowers that I made for some undisclosed Christmas gifts...I have lots of nieces!

Cute little wooden pumpkins...makes me want to get out all my fall decors
Isnt' this head band soo cute!  I made it!  Me!  and bonus the flowers can come off to clip in hair all on their own!
New pics to put up in the kitchen...when I get that wall up I will take a pic of it and post...we painted the wood and mod podged these pics...you can't see but the temple pic is personalized with our names and anniversary and the Christus pic has a scripture on it.
