So like the Christmas set, this is another pool noodle craft for autumn. Pool noodles make the candles and we put a battery operated candle on top to give the candle illusion. She actually did this one before the Christmas one...

I posted a few days ago about my first etched, upcycled glass container, and it was really inspiring! I've created a couple of new containers, and one is my first attempt at details. It's a bit off and the edges are a bit ragged,...
