PUMPKINS TO {FALL} IN LOVE WITH

MY DAUGHTER FOUND THIS IDEA FROM YET ANOTHER TALENTED BLOGGER. THERE ARE SO MANY OF YOU OUT THERE. SEE HERE. (SCROLL DOWN TO PASSIONATE ABOUT PUMPKINS).


SO LAST TIME BOTH MY DAUGHTERS AND I GOT TOGETHER WE DECIDED WE WERE

GOING TO MAKE SOME OF THESE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE PUMPKINS.

SO A SHOPPING WE WENT. WE HIT JOANN'S BARGAIN BINS AND RACKS FOR THE

UPHOLSTERY FABRIC, PICKED OUT OUR TRIMS AND HEADED BACK TO START

SEWING.


WE OF COURSE TOOK CREATIVE LICENSE AND CHANGED IT UP A BIT, TWEAKED THE DIRECTIONS SOME AND PUT OUR OWN FINISHING TOUCHES ON OURS.

HEATHER WAS THE FIRST ONE OF US TO GET HER PUMPKINS FINISHED. (SHOCK)
SHE ROCKS!

HEATHER'S TURNED OUT ADORABLE!


AREN'T THEY JUST "PUMPKINLISIOUS". SHE IS AN AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER, QUITE THE DOMESTIC DIVA, AND OH SO CREATIVE, AND CRAFTY. NOT TO MENTION AN AWESOME MOM OF THREE BEAUTIFUL KIDS. YES, I KNOW SHE IS MY DAUGHTER, BUT GO CHECK OUT HER BLOG FOR YOURSELF. YOU CAN SEE IT HERE.

(BY THE WAY, I HAD PERMISSION TO USE HER PHOTO, ONE OF THE PERKS OF BEING THE "MOM")

MY DAUGHTER HOLLIE MADE SOME TOO, I'M NOT SURE IF SHE HAS GOTTEN HERS FINISHED YET OR NOT. I KNOW THE ONE'S I DID GET TO SEE, WERE LOOKING SIMPLY ADORABLE TOO.

SINCE I HAD TO TRAVEL BACK HOME, I DECIDED TO WAIT AND MAKE MY WHEN I GOT BACK HOME. (IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO GET AROUND TO THEM)

ONCE YOU START TO STUFF THEM THEY DEVELOP AND TAKE ON A PERSONALITY OF
ALL THEIR OWN.

IT'S OFFICIAL, I'M IN LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. SUCH A CUTE LITTLE PUMPKIN PATCH.

I THINK I WILL CHANGE OUT THE RIBBON ON A FEW OF THEM THOUGH, I'M NOT TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH SOME. HOWEVER, SINCE I LIVE 2 HOURS AWAY FROM THE NEAREST FABRIC OR CRAFT STORE, I HAD TO USE WHAT I HAD ON HAND FOR NOW. (I KNOW, 2 HRS. IT'S MURDER)

I MUST CAUTION YOU SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO MAKE SOME, THEY ARE ADDICTIVE, ONCE YOU START, IT'S HARD TO STOP!

THEY ARE SUCH A GREAT ADDITION FOR MY FALLIDAY DECORATING. WHICH I'VE BEEN WORKING ON, I WILL TRY AND GET SOME PICTURES POSTED SOON.
