Chelsea's Halloween Rules


 Isn't this so cute?!?
Chelsea stitched Lizzie Kate's Halloween Rules last year and we finally finished it up!
 I mounted the stitching on sticky board and then added 2 different fabric ruffles: black gingham and candy corn print..weathered Fence pickets display the stitching. A bow was made of Halloween colored ribbons. Yes, we even used purple...it's Halloween ;)
 Then came the fun part. We constructed a garland of black pom poms made from yarn, ripped fabric strips, handmade felt candy corn, and Halloween felt stickers from the Dollar Tree. 
 This is my 2nd finish of Halloween Rules.. below is mine ..

Hello Fall!


 Happy Tuesday!
Thanks so much for coming by! I drew up the chalkboard today that hangs in the kitchen ..I was feeling all the scarecrow love and of course our scarecrow has to have chickens
 ( Chelsea's chickens :) Ronnie's mad because it is raining ..she wants to chase those chipmunks!

 He is in the middle of the pumpkin patch with a row of Indian corn behind him

 This frame was found out rummaging and I had a piece of wood cut to fit that I chalkboard painted ..one of my favorite things to decorate for the seasons!

 It's one of those cloudy dreary days here .. seems like Fall but still pretty hot!

Pumpkin Picking 2018

Happy Monday!
We picked pumpkins this weekend and it was HoT! We were all set to go apple picking but then saw on Facebook the pumpkin patch was opeing on Saturday instead of this Wednesday! so change of plans!

 It's a family tradition and every year we fill up our cars!
 The yard supervisor ..making sure that they look perfect :)
 Love these greenish almost teal blue ones! Look at the huge orange stripe!
 They line the front flower beds .. and lots on the porch



 I love to stack them and this year there were lots of flatter round ones

 I don't wash the pumpkins when we get home .. as I water my flowers or it rains it washes the dirt off..







 Love the stripey ornage ones that look like they have lace overlays..




 Pumpkin pickers!
 all these are waiting to get placed in the car ..
 Love all the colored and lumpy pumpkins! There are 100 pumpkins decorating the front yard .. a lot will be carved for Halloween and last year when Halloween was over I placed a Craigslist ad for free pumpkins and a nice family with goats came and picked them all up ..she said she would love them again this year!
