Pumpkins 2012

We started carving our pumpkins Thursday night..we only got about 12 done as a family and my husband and I did the rest yesterday ..The three stacked pumkins sit on the porch by the front door. I have done a pumpkin topiary for the past three years..The bottom pumpkin is the one from my last post that we put the baby in for his photos.. I use Christmas lights for the pumpkins , no candles.Just plug them in :)

here they are all lined up.. we carved 26 pumpkins all together

Mr. Pumpkin

Here is the reason for making the little pumpkin hat ... When we were pumpkin picking I knew I had to find the perfect pumpkin.. big enough for the littlest grandson to fit in..He is just adorable !

The link to the pattern for the hat is in my previous post.. Have a great weekend !!

Thanks very much for visiting and your wonderful comments !

Pumpkins and Daisies

Yesterday , I made this little pumpkin hat for the pumpkin boy..here is the pattern... http://www.favecrafts.com/Crochet-for-Baby/Baby-Pumpkin-Crochet-Beanie

Isn't he adorable ! We have big plans for this hat this week.. Hope it works out like we are planning !

My daughter is going to a baby shower , so I told her I would make her a blanket.. I used a pattern from this site to make the squares... I have made a daisy blanket before using a different pattern and it was much more time consuming ! This pattern is EASY ! Took me 2 days to make all the squares , I am just putting the last couple rows together ( join as you go )and then a border.

Hope you have a great week ! As always thank you for visiting and your nice comments !

I will be linking to these parties:

Halloween /Fall house tour

Heres a little tour of our home for Halloween , Our front porch decoated with decomesh and alot of pumpkins !

I made the Fall sign from one of my old craft show display shelves

74 pumpkins on display in our front yard..

Our foyer with leaves and berry garlands on the stairs ,and a coffee filter wreath hanging from the mirror.

 The kitchen with a few Halloween displays , and the subway art table runner I made, on the kitchen table

The sweater pumpkins I made from sweaters from the Good Will store

Our family room with the mantel decorated for Halloween.

Fabric ghost ( I made) on a ceramic cake plate

Fall subway art IU made from another one of the display shelves , Prairie schooler cross stitch ( withches go riding) and more sweater pumpkins

I have been working on this cross stitch project ..pumpkin cottage from country cottage needleworks..Just the borders to finish. Hope to finish it and frame before the Christmas stuff comes out ! :)

Ive also been working on this granny square blanket using scraps.. Just 3 rounds and a join together as you go

Our visit to Kentucky was great ..enjoyed seeing our boy.. was so hard to leave him again. He is very homesick !

This is his roomate and we went to dinner with  his family, was nice to meet them.

We went to the game on Saturday , then left for the 6-1/2 hour drive home.We had to get more UK gear  for the fans back home!

 I did get to stop on the way down and the way back at a Christmas tree shop.. we don't have them up here ,so I was so excited to get to go.  We stopped on the way back to get a metal yard snowman that I hadn't gotten the first visit ! Wish we had one closer to home ! Thanks for visiting my blog and all your nice comments !
