Pumpkin Time of Year
Woman in the Middle | October 23, 2014It is the time of year where we see pumpkins everywhere!. Every time I go to the store I see tons of products made with pumpkin from donuts to beer. The donuts are delicious. But the beer, well I haven’t tasted it but it sounds weird! So, when I opened the latest post from Jayne from her blog His Heart and Home, I wasn’t surprise to see pumpkins. But I was pleased to discover Jayne’s idea for making cute pumpkin decorations for fall. I stole a photo from her post. Aren’t they cute?
While I do enjoy the occasional craft project, I am not super crafty and, as you may have guessed, this isn’t a craft blog. But, when I saw how adorable and easy these pumpkins are, I wanted to share the idea with you. I particularly like the one on the right, made from strips of fall themed fabric. Guess what is making that cute pumpkin so plump? A roll of toilet paper! Given that space for storage is always tight, I was thinking how easy it would be to store the fabric strips and the small stick used for the pumpkin stem, and every year when fall rolls around, you can just grab a few rolls of toilet paper and make some pumpkins. Then, when it is time to put it all away, just take it all apart, put the toilet paper back were it can be used for its intended purpose, and fold and store the fabric strips for next year. Easy peasy!

(Sorry you will have to cut and paste the link. I need to learn is how to make the links work in a blog post. Sigh. I will add it to my list….)
Thank you so much for featuring me on your blog! I am truly humbled and honored. And you choose wisely. The ones made with cloth take about 5 minutes to make. Now for your second tutorial How to add a link. haha
When you are writing your post and want to add a link simply highlight a word, like my name for instants, then click on the picture in the toolbar that looks like a paperclip. (Hold your curser over the pictures and it will tell you what they are) A box to add the link will pop up. Then copy and paste the link, just like you did for your post and put it in the box. Click “add link” and there you have it. Your word or words in the post will turn blue and people will know it is a link.
Thank you! I will give it a try!
Hey Kim, the link in my email worked fine.
I am not a crafty person either but this little project is appealing. Your pumpkins are wonderful and who would ever guess the base is TP? I love it and may actually try to test my own perseverance.
I bet Eldest Daughter would like this craft.
