Is It Ever To Early For A Fun Pumpkin???

I hope it isn't to early for pumpkins...I couldn't wait any longer....I never want summer to end, but I really needed a orange and black fix....I know I am like a lot of you out there in blog land that love Halloween and fall decorations....I don't think there is anything better than a good pumpkin...

I went to the fabric store, filled my basket with shades of orange, gold, green and black floss with a little purple thrown in just for fun and have been punching every since...

My first love is cross stitch I always have to cross stitch a little something in between all my other handwork loves...Hallow's Eve pattern is from Primitive Betty...

Last is my wool pumpkin penny pillow...
One other thing that got me started on Halloween, I have a huge pile of great fall cotton fabrics and wools that were just sitting in my sewing room wanting to be used....So of course I gave in..

These are the items I am listing on Early Work Mercantile later today...If you have the time stop by and take a look at all the fun handwork...

That is all I have for today....
Thanks so much for stopping by and for your kind comments they make my day.....
Take care,

Water Melons, Crows and One last Flag...

I have been enjoy the afternoons stitching in the back yard while the grand-kids play in the water and eat Popsicle.....Summer doesn't get much better than that...
I just love watermelons the first watermelon I made is punched needled sitting on a old door knob with a crow on top...I used six strands of floss and a medium needle it eats up a ton of floss but I love the way the colors mix together...




Next is my old crow on a dried sunflower as you can tell I was in a real primitive mood the day I made him...Also My dear husband was really excited to see that I was using some of the dried sunflowers I have had hanging in the garage....Wait until he realizes that I just hung a ton of lavender in his garage today.....


I had to punch one more flag...I just love red white and blue....

Last is a watermelon pillow...with a patch work back, three wool watermelons and flowers...These are the item I a am listing on TDIPT tonight....If you have the time stop by to take a look at all the fun summer offering that will be posted...Thanks so much for your kind comments they make my day...
I hope you are having plenty of time to stitch under the shade of your favorite tree.....
Take care,
Nancy
