    There Are No Pumpkins To Be Found...Make A Ruffled Pumpkin Pillow

    by Jessica 31 Comments

    I definitely have Fall Fever.  I worked on my Fall Mantel this past weekend, and now I can't stop.  The only problem is...there are NO PUMPKINS TO BE FOUND!  Don't they know that I need pumpkins right now?  Don't these pumpkin growin' fools know that there is a Primp Your Pumpkin party happening next week?  Since they don't, I have been making my own pumpkins.  I did find some mini pumpkins at the grocery store, so I used them to add a little Fall accent to my breakfast nook, then I thought...how about a pumpkin pillow?  So, I sewed a long ruffle in Riley Blake rouge dots, and hot glued it to the front of one of my Dropcloth Pillows in the shape of a pumpkin.  I love it nestled in with the others.

    Now my Newish Breakfast Nook feels nice and Fallish ;) 
     
    Are you decorating for Fall yet?

      That is the COOLEST thing ever!!!! Once again, you make me jealous that I can't sew! Love it, Jessica! I can't find a pumpkin to primp either. Hopefully, I can come up with something before next week! :)

      I finally found some pumpkins at Kroger yesterday! Love your pillows! I'd love for you to share this at my party, Twirl & Take a Bow at http://www.houseontheway.com. There's a giveaway too…a monogrammed burlap pillow.
      Hope you can stop by!

      Your ruffled pumpkins are THE cutest!! And that nook.... ohhh, I'd love to drink my morning coffee there every day. Although who am I kidding- I run around chasing these little boys so much that I reheat mine 20 times before dumping it around noon!
      Have a great weekend!
      xo,

        I love your description of a morning with kids to get off to school! I have 2 boys, 49 and 47, and a daughter, 39. But I can still remember how much fun ????it was, getting them dressed (appropriately????), their lunches made and out the door on time! I miss that time in our lives. I do also have 2 grandchildren, a boy, 22, and girl, 21. They're all wonderful "kids". I hope they have fond memories of those times too.
