Fall Finishes

Hello to all !  Hope you all had a marvelous Monday and looking forward to the week ahead of us.  Thought I would show you a few of the fall things I have managed to get done even tho' fall is definitely not in the air here in the south.

School started back today in many of our surrounding counties in our state, Holly had to start back today for pre-planning and Darbee Rae will be going to day care.  I am  so going to miss roaming with  my girls.  This past year has been so nice. Day trips, road trips. shopping trips, making memories, hanging out and having fun; guess now I will get to rest. I ask Darbee Rae what I was going to do during the day when she was at her "school" and she said,"Nana just sit at your sewing machine and stitch." Might not be a bad idea.

Have been doing a lot of sewing lately, as our craft show in September is drawing near.  Hard to try and stage a fall scene with the temps. near 100. But here goes.

I love this pattern from The Primitive Saltbox.  Love the pumpkins.They are so much fun to make and I love the print on them.  I had never used freezer paper to print with muslin and my printer so let me say this was an experience for me.

The first one fed thru the printer perfect, so I thought hmmmmmm, no problem so I went back upstairs  and did another one.   This time,,, no such luck, it got stuck in printer. Do you want to see how many times I tried before I finally got the hang of it?

That's the pile of freezer paper and muslin in the craft room floor.  Now how did I get the first one so perfect?  Guess it was luck.  But finally figured out the secret and have had so much fun since.  Have so many more projects in mind using this method.

Here is a close up showing the print on the pumpkins.

Also got some acorns made..

Used a combination of several patterns and made the witch stocking.  Got a few of these made. Sorry but with my camera the tea light on top doesn't show up good.

One of my favorite things to do while traveling is working on stitcheries.  Lucky for me they are a great seller at my show.  This one is for fall.

This was  a freebie I found on the computer after I figured out how to print on my freezer paper.  At the end of that day I was so proud to learn a new technique.

Think the little pillow turned out pretty good.  Can't wait to make some for all the upcoming seasons. 

Well my friends, that about does it for today.  I have items drying from the stiffing process, some drying from coffee staining, and tomorrow another day of crafting.  Hoping you are doing something you enjoy, whatever it may be.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.  Each and everyone of you are so special to me.  Thanks for taking the time to comment.  Until we talk again.................
