A couple of months ago, my daughter requested a few decorative pumpkins for this autumn, so we hunted through my stash and sorted out some suitable fabrics. She agreed to make the large pumpkins and I would make the smaller ones.
I took different photos during the day and with different lighting, but the pumpkins just didn´t want to be photographed and some were even camera shy and are missing from these three pics shown here.
Where are the bright silver sequins? and can you find the pumpkin with bright gold leaves? I assure you there is one.
First Year Blog Anniversary Giveaway
I started this blog a year ago, well actually on the 28th of October, so to celebrate my first year in blogland and to thank all who have so kindly visited, followed or commented I am giving away another of my mermaid scissor pouches. I had a lot of very nice comments regarding these pouches, so here is another opportunity to win one.
Just leave a comment here on this post. You don´t have to have a blog or be a follower, although it sure would be nice if you were. This giveaway is open to all countries until the 28th October. I will announce the winner on my `Smalls´ post of the 29th October. Have a nice week.

Love that variety of pumpkins. I can see the silver sequins pretty well, but not the shiny leaves. Cameras just don't like sparkly it seems.
ReplyDeleteThe scissors case is gorgeous, but I'm going to opt out of the drawing. Just have too many pretty things and am trying to downsize. I'll leave it to someone who can really use it. Thanks for your generosity and congrats on your blogaversary!
Buon anniversario, le zucche sono bellissime!

Such sweet pumpkins! I love your fabric choices for the pumpkins and your mermaid scissor pouch! I am always mislaying my scissors, so an eye-catching pouch would be just the thing! Your castle cushion reminds me of a recent visit to Hever Castle. Greetings on a very warm October Sunday in Kent!

Just came through Kaye's blog and although I try not to take part in giveaways of people I don't know I was prompted by yours for two reasons. First because your blog anniversary is on the 28th October which is a National Holiday in Greece and secondly because I love mermaids as I am an avid sea glass (mermaids' tears) collector! So please count me in! ariadnesky(at)hotmail(dot)com AriadnefromGreece!
ReplyDeleteI jumped here from another blog and boy am I glad I did. I visited some previous pages and love your work so I think I'll follow along.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween...oh, forgot...love the button pumpkin!!
