We did the pumpkin thing this weekend.
Is it weird to call pumpkins cute?
I love the different shapes and sizes.
And I can’t even express how cool gourds look.
We went home to carve our pumpkins and saved the seeds for roasting. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve carved a pumpkin. I forgot how cool they look.
I love Halloween. Do you know what you’re going to be? We still have no idea.
I’m sensing a theme. I find myself unusually pining after banners, buntings and other garland type things. Maybe I’m channeling my cats, because these are the type of decorations my cats would go crazy over.
It seems like bunting would be a fast and fun decoration to make. I’ve been eying these two tutorials:
Acorn Garland using fabric scraps at Sweetie Pie Bakery.
And the Fall Leaf Garland from A Beautiful Mess
What do you think about these quick and easy crafts?
Fabric or Fiction makes cute fall-themed bunting banners.
But let’s get real. I’m mostly excited for the s’mores banner.
I know everyone is inhaling pumpkin at every opportunity, because, let’s face it, it’s only an acceptable practice for two and a half months out of the year.
So here are some tasty looking pumpkin treats from around the web.
