Selecting a favorite pumpkin to buy or to make can be daunting there are so many lovely design ideas out there. The marbled pumpkins are gorgeous. The Rustic wood pumpkins melt the heart. Crocheting pumpkins from a kit feels like an easy and relaxing project while watching television or listening to an audio book.
Ah, The Pumpkin Hunt!
Along country roads, grocery stores, garden centers, you can make it into a yearly special excursion event.
The local Shaw's supermarket has huge boxes of good sized pumpkins for sale already. I like the small pie pumpkins because I can bake them. The larger pumpkins can be used for cooking as well. Roasted pumpkin seeds I have had no luck with.
Browsing the many pumpkin crafts online, I've decided to use some scrap wood I have to make a flat twig style pumpkin to hang on the wall. Similar to the one at Thistlewood Farms website. Burlap ribbon from last year tied with jute twine will be the decoration. After Thanksgiving, I can add a spring of pine and pine cones for the holidays.

Good morning I enjoyed your post
ReplyDeleteI loved the indigo pumpkins so many ideas and choices
Kathy,
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of nice ideas online. I first browse the Images for the easier, the better. Putting together scrap wood is one of the easiest.
Some of the websites have so many advertisements, it is uncomfortable visiting there with things flashing in your face or popping up. On some websites, it takes effort to find the text. They may be making money from ads, but I think they lose followers with all the ad trash.
Good day. Nice post
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely outing.

We always roast the pumpkin seeds. Our daughter does it now with the grandkids too. We all love them.
ReplyDeleteMarie,
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful family tradition.
I remember it as a kid.
This year I will try roasting pumpkin seeds again. :)
Maywyn love the idea of wooden pumpkins and adore your Salt Dough Pumpkin Face. Think I will be picking up a couple of pumpkins Weds. for decorating. Planted seed this year but they didn't produce due to dry weather or whatever! Well enjoy your Pumpkin Hunt! Going to go check out your links now. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
ReplyDeleteThe scrap wood pumpkins have a lot of charm, and are so easy to put together. There are so many designs I want to try, I might add a page for them on the blog. :)
Hugs!

Hello Melody
ReplyDeleteHunting for pumpkins is a good time to pick up apple cider donuts as well.
Ooooo, I like the marbled indigo pumpkins, they're gorgeous. And the little crocheted ones are sweet. Thanks for the sharing some creative ideas. I've always liked your salt dough pumpkin face. Lots of good pumpkin ideas on here today! Pine cones for the holiday season is always nice too.

Sheri,
ReplyDeleteThis year there is a bumper crop of pinecones on the local white pine trees. They are sticky to handle. I buy a bag of them at the store for decoration so the birds can have the seeds of the wild pinecones.
Love your pumpkin face. I crocheted all kinds for our store this year. Janice
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to your finished project. We aren't seeing many pumpkins yet -- I bet in another week or so it'll be a different matter altogether.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great pumpkin face created from dough ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
