Ok internet friends, if you haven't already it is high time to get in the mood for autumn! The pumpkin spice latte effect is in full swing, and we know all of you have already started pinning Halloween ideas and emailing us about homemade holiday gift ideas. Ok, ok. Let's just embrace it together. Here are 30 recipes and projects to try if you're wanting to get in the mood with us. πTGIF y'all! Make some spiked maple apple cider this weekend.Too soon to make our own mittens? Never. These are so cute and would make a fun gift too. I say, pumpkin everything!!!! Try is pumpkin risotto this week. These would make a cute gift or could add just a little whimsy to your space. Make your own foxy plush. Try these homemade french toast sticks. Yum!It's time to add layers to our wardrobe for those chilly evenings. Make this tassel scarf. It's (finally) comfort food season! Celebrate by making a bloomin onion.Cozy up your place with your own beeswax candles.You've GOT to make your own spicy hot chocolate this season! Splurge with the giant marshmallows. Do it.Add a little warm to your room by making a latch hook rug. Love these baked french fries! You've gotta make these for someone soon. Cozy up with your own hand printed quilt. Check out how we made this in part 1 and part 2. Crank up that oven and bake this pull apart bread! Make your own stocking cap from an old sweater (great use for any sweaters you may have accidently shrunk… or is it just me who does that?).If you like baked potatoes you will LOVE this accordian potato recipe.A slightly healthier version of apple pie: baked apples. Yum! Add a festive touch to your front door and make your own rug. Warm up with my favorite bar food: fried pickles. Soon we'll be spending more time indoors (because it's cold!). You might think about adding a statement wall to your home this year.This month I will for sure be making my first batch of chili. Best week night dinner, espeically with Fritos. :) Spruce up your front door with an autumn wreath. Bake some bagels this month. They are awesome for breakfast or as a sandwich for lunch. To go with your hot chocolate or apple cider consider making these sharpie mugs. I call this coffee shop oatmeal. Super quick to make and the perfect filling breakfast. You could use any colors that fit your room's aesthtic to make your own braided rug. Impress your next dinner party guests by making your own sweet potato chips. Yummy! Try needle felting to fancy up a throw blanket or cardigan.Baking your own granola has the bonus effect of making your kitchen smell absolutley amazing! Try it.In need of some spice? Try this chipotle sweet potato soup. Warm yourself up with these easy spiced chai recipe. Happy autumn! xo. Emma + Elsie

this makes missing summer a bit less painfull
The baked French toast sticks look amazing π Love the sharpie mugs too!
I’m so ready!!
Those mittens and hat both look so cute and cozy, maybe I will attempt to make some this fall or winter. It would be a great way to use those shrunken sweaters I can’t bring myself to get rid of!
Amazing list! That chai and the french toast! If I wasn’t ready for fall before, I’m definitely ready now! π

I am not one to rush through seasons but PSL effect is REAL. I love fall too, esp now that I live in Austin and there is no freezing winter here to dread. My fave is the coffee shop oatmeal and plush fox. I am planning a Halloween dress rehearsal party soon and already getting geared up for it!

I LOVE fall and am desperately waiting for it to arrive (California decided it’s summer again, WTF).
I am dying to make that pumpkin risotto and the fox plush! Also, that hat from a sweater?!?! Awesome!!!
These make me so excited for fall- too bad we have like 6 more weeks of summer left in Phoenix π
Loved this post! I shared a link back to it on my blog — http://sarahlibros.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/fall-links.html.

I am definitely a food person, so I will try these recipe tips for sure. π
Oh these all look beautiful.
Autumn is my favourite season and I’ve been going Pinterest mad the second the weather started changing.
Thanks for convincing me that autumn isn’t the end of the world and quite a season to anticipate – loving the ideas, hope the results of my attempts will look at least half as spectacular as in your stunning photos π
Cheers

Even though it’s almost 90 degrees here today, I’m looking forward to the chilly, cozy fall months…even if it’s going to take a while!
I bought some apple cider yesterday, so I guess I’ll be getting into the spirit whether the weather cools down or not!
These are all things that will lift my spirits when the dark evenings come in.Especially the apple cider π
so many things on this list that ive been looking forward to!!! now you just gave me the recipes and how-tos to do them π
Yum, pumpkin risotto, can’t wait to try that!

I really wish that we had more of a wreath culture in the UK. Christmas wreathes are just starting to catch on, but for years I got comments from everyone about the wreath on my front door. Maybe I should start the autumn wreath trend in our street?
You have totally captured my heart with the Accordion Potatoes. That is a must do.
so many good ideas! i def wanna make my own cap out of a sweater!
