Seasons Changing Halloween Fall and Cooler Weather

 

Seasons Changing Halloween Fall and Cooler Weather

Hi! Welcome to LilacsNDreams! Always happy to see everyone that drops by. Here we are the first of October of 2025. Time is starting to move along a little quicker. Season is working on changing from hot summertime to Fall. With Fall comes some holidays too. 

This past weekend our son brought up a lot of the Halloween decorations trying to decide how to lay things out this year. Ever since we have moved in here a few years ago we have become known as The Spooky House. Everyone kind of keeps an eye out for this place because of how we decorate for Halloween, and for Christmas too. A lot of work goes into it all., we enjoy it, but enjoy more how the kids like it and comments with it too. His new wife will be experiencing this with us. Unfortunately she is not as fond of the scarey things as we are. 

The pictures you are seeing are some of the decorations to sort through, and figure out what will be getting displayed. We have quite a few skeletons, and 3 dummies too. Tuesday I had set out the head stones between the bushes outside. These stones were connected to would pieces for more weight. They were then foam sprayed around the bottom of stone and top of the wood piece, and then spray painted a brownish color to look like dirt around them. I have small stacked lighted pumpkins on each side of the outside porch arch. Need to plug them in yet. The blog bugs have made it hard to work outside with things! 

Not pictured are some of our animated characters we have like a headless guy holding a pumpkin head that is sensored, lady in white gown also holding a head with a button moves and makes sounds, the sensored spider that jumps up at you. The spider has been very popular past few years. Kids like to make it jump, and some parents like to video the spider too. 

When we get more set up I will make sure to share pictures with you. The outside, the inside in front of 1 window, also our big bay window…we fill it all up. 

Thanks so much for visiting with LilacsNDreams! Enjoy the season changes, and have fun. Take care, and see you all again soon.

Halloween Home Decorating Inside and Out

 

Halloween Home Decorating Inside and Out with LilacsNDreams. Welcome to everyone visiting today!

Below you will see some pictures for how I have done some Halloween decorating inside our home. In those pictures are a couple of shots that show some of the bigger items that will be standing, or hanging outside too. I’m behind this year with decorating, but will get it done. It’s fun for us at home, but we so enjoy watching the reactions of the kids…some adults too with the decorations we do. It adds a little more to the holiday spirit of things.

Skeleton swinging, cemetery fencing, skeleton hands and heads, headstones, blow up Frankenstein, and more are for outside the house

This is a side view of our headless man holding an animated pumpkin, and he’s holding an axe too which will be standing outside as well too

I also wanted to note that as of yesterday my niece had invited me to one of her vender fairs she will be attending. I figured I would be helping like I have before. This time she suggested I bring some of my things along to offer too. So, I’m excited as we will have 2 booths side by side, and between our products we will have a variety of things to offer. She does shirts, keychains, bags for kids, and other kid items too. So, with all the handmade, and repurposed upcycled items offered it should be fun too!

Thanks for visiting with LilacsNDreams today! Have a great day! Be safe, and see you again soon. 

Fall Autumn Halloween Home Decorating Decor

Fall Autumn Halloween Home Decorating Decor with LilacsNDreams!

Hello, and happy you dropped by. Can you feel it? Are you ready for it? Seasons are changing, and we have some holidays to celebrate too. Are you one that decorates for Halloween, then Fall, and then Thanksgiving all separately? Maybe you tie in Halloween with Fall, and Autumn then do Thanksgiving? Everyone has their own way, or tradition of preparing your homes for the season and holidays.

Right now I have a mess as you can see. Trying to gather things together from storage to see what I have for this season, and holidays. Also, the son and I went shopping today for Halloween decorations for the porch. He loves holidays, been almost 8 years since he celebrated Halloween at home which he enjoys. So, today he had fun. 

Ok, back to our decorating. For us in our home I will decorate for Halloween, and also for Autumn and Fall too. One advantage is a lot of the pumpkins I have can be used for the season, and holidays too. Outside will mostly be Halloween which we like to have fun with. Inside the home will be more fall decor with some Halloween shared in with it too. 

This last picture shows the pumpkin I made last year using 3 splatter screens, some spray paint, June rope, ribbon, and leaves. I just got my supplies together to make my fall tree with items from Dollar Tree. I hope to have that completed to show you next time you visit. 

Hope everyone is enjoying the change of season. It’s been great weather here, but did cool off today. I know it’s suppose to, but I still like comfortable weather that is not too hot, and not too cold. 

Hey, if by chance you visit my page on Facebook I’m sorry to say there will be no new postings there, pictures, response to comments, etc. For some reason I do not have permission to my page, and of course no response or help from Facebook either. All these years, now this, no help, how depressing. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks for visiting with LilacsNDreams! Glad you stopped by, and hope to see you again. Take care till the next time. Happy vintage collectible hunting, repurposing, restyling, upcycling, reimagining, crafting, and all of your DIY projects. Have fun, and be safe till the next time! Toodles . . .

Season of Fall Autumn and Halloween is soon here

Seasons are changing with evidence of the leaves changing on the trees, nights are starting to become a bit cooler, some of the hot weather is starting to cool down for many, and all over we are seeing designs of the season as well. This time of year gives decorators a chance to bring some of the festivities with autumn colors into our homes. Also, a fun time with some of the creativities that are down for outside our homes, and also inside the homes too. 

So, is this your favorite time of the year, and if so what is it you like about it? I know with Fall it means that winter is lurking around the corner, and will be visiting us soon. Cold weather I do not like, but watching the colors of fall changing is a beautiful site to see. I also enjoy seeing some of the fun creations for decorating by many. Just like that adorable caterpillar made from pumpkins pictured above. I have seen this done before with orange pumpkins, but this one showing is different, fun, and unique. 

Thanks so much for sharing your time with LilacsNDreams, and hope to see you again soon. Take care, have fun, enjoy the change of the season, and have a fun filled weekend everyone!

Halloween and DIY Dryer Vent Pumpkins Homemade

Halloween and DIY Dryer Vent Pumpkins Homemade is a fabulous idea!

Hello, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams everyone! Well, our summer is now gone, and the calender says that on the 22nd of September Autumn begins for us. Still nice weather, but the days are not so hot and humid, and the nights are cooling down as well. School has started, Homecoming events with schools, leaves are changing for the season, and our first holiday that we will soon have upon us is Halloween. 

How far ahead do you prepare for holidays at this time of year? Do you decorate a lot? Maybe you are like me, and like to decorate outside, and inside the home as well. Course the easier the project, the less expensive it is, the more I can make and create with too. Halloween as we know always shows us pumpkins everywhere. Some are used for decorating outside the home, some for inside the home, and just so many things we can do to make these as well. Don't take me wrong, I enjoy using the real pumpkins, and making things. But, I also enjoy crafting to make even a few more things, and sometimes those can also be stored to use for next year Halloween too. Some items can also carry over into the next upcoming season as well such as Autumn, Harvest, Thanksgiving, etc.

Below you will see pictures of some simple pumpkins that were made. These pictures were ones that have been shared on the internet, and if you search a little more sometimes you will find instructions for doing these as well. Something simple, and are adorable when done too. 

Depending how you want yours to be completed will determine how much of what supplies you will need. There is your glitter spray to consider, some spray paint coloring for the pumpkins, cinnamin sticks, cut piece of wood, stick from your own yard, maybe some moss for texture, leaves, vines, and etc. To start these pumpkins you will need some dryer vents. 

 

Cut these dryer vents to the sizes you wish your pumpkins to be. Once you have that done you just bring the ends together, and glue them making a round circle shape of the pumpkin. Next, get your spray paint out to add the colors that you want. There is the traditional orange, white has become popular, I have seen black pumpkins, and there is no rule to this. Choose what you desire to use with your home.

Once you have them painted you can then add a little bit of glitter if you would like. As for the center stems that is where you can choose to use cinnamin sticks, a cut piece of wood, maybe a stick from your yard, use the empty roll from toilet paper, and just whatever you choose is going to be good. Once you glue that in the center of the pumpkin you can add some filling of moss around it for texture. Maybe you would like to add some leaves, or maybe some kind of leaf vine too. Whatever you choose it will be wonderful. There is no right, or wrong to how you create these adorable simple pieces. Do what works for you, your family and friends, your home decor, and what your creative mood feels at the time too.

 

Now, I know I seem some dryer vents around here some where. Guess I will have to go digging for some of it, and if I don't find it I shall head to the store. You know you could also consider some of the black vents that are used outside the home too. Just a last minute thought, but also hoping to help you be inspired as well. 

Something simple, something cute, and something fun to do with little work makes for a really fun DIY craft doesn't it? Hope this helps some of you by showing you a little bit, and giving you some ideas to work with as well. Inspiration is everywhere, and I hope you have found some here. 

Thanks so much for sharing your time with LilacsNDreams, and hope to see you visit again soon. Enjoy, have fun, take care, and have a wonderful day everyone! Toodle Loo............
