Monday Funday: Crochet Flower Pumpkins
Happy Monday! Is anyone else as excited
for the upcoming fall season as I am? One of my favorite decorative items to
bring out during the fall, are pumpkins. You know pumpkins aren't just for
Halloween, they're decorative items that you can use through the whole season.
Use them as a centerpiece, or to jazz up a mantle. Cathie and Steve recently
created a few pumpkins; check out this crochet flower pumpkin. A very unique
and creative spin on what you can do with crochet pieces and a pumpkin. Below
are the supplies you need for this project. Click here to see the instructions
for this pumpkin.

Freelance Friday: Scary Silhouette Pumpkin
 Can you believe the month of September is halfway over? Gosh time flies, especially when you're crafting. Since Halloween is on the horizon we wanted to give you some inspiration for a great project you can have your kids help create. This weekend try creating this scary silhouette pumpkin. These pumpkins are made with paper mache. Kids and paper mache make for fantastic crafts. It is a very simple technique, and can be done by any level crafter. We found this project over on the blog, The Country Chic Cottage. In addition to paper mache, Angie used Mod Podge in this project. Click here to see how Angie created this project.
