I went to Norma's last Friday for the first pumpkin making session.
Here is our work area on her lovely porch.
Sneakers came by to look over our progress. I love Norma's green batik pumpkin.
Here is the crop of pumpkins we made. The Pattern is Lil Punkins, A Tiny Treasure pattern from Sweet Treasures.
Designed by Amber Hiebert.
Here is a close up. They each have a distinct personality.
On Wednesday, Jill and Susan came over to make some with me.
We even had pumpkin soup for lunch. I made grilled Swiss cheese sandwiches on cinnamon raisin bread.
Here is the crop from Wednesday. Coco was quite interested, as she always is.
What a fun batch!
Here is a special one that I made with my new Midnight Pastoral fabric. Very Martha Stewart, if you ask me.
Lastly, this is a football snack that made on Sunday. It was so easy. A package of corn muffin mix and package of hot dogs.
Make corn muffins according to mix directions. Spray a mini muffin tin with Pam and fill 2/3 full with mix.
I heated the hot dogs in the microwave just to take the chill off and cut them into 1 1/2" pieces and pushed them into the mix.
Bake according to the muffin mix directions and viola' little bite sized treats.
Happy Harvest and Football Season Everyone!! Have a Fun Weekend.
We can always count on you for the fun! Those fabric pumpkins are precious! I think my favorite is the one made with repro cheater clothe. The little corndog muffins look like something my family would like. Happy Fall to you!
ReplyDeleteYour Friday posts have truly been fun reads. I hope you can find topics to keep them going.
ReplyDeleteIs that a black bird on the top of the Midnight Pastoral pumpkin? The fabric was a very good choice for your pumpkin!
Wow -- you've been busy having some wonderful fall fun! I'm intrigued by the cheese sandwich on cinnamon raisin bread -- never heard of that but I'll bet it's yummy. And those corn muffins look wonderful!

I like the pumpkins made of batik (?) fabrics best and the one with the headless guy holding a pumpkin and the "Martha Stewart" pumpkin are great but a little scary to me!
ReplyDeleteCoco looks interested but I think Sneakers stole the show!
Love ALL those pumpkins! And...that snack is something that would be a big hit at my house! I'm going to try it tonight! ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG!! Blogger is letting me comment on your site again! Steve and I have been trying to figure out why it wasn't working on some sites, and I don't know what we did, but it is working now!
ReplyDeleteYou and your friends ALWAYS seem to be having such fun and the projects are really fun and unique. On the odd occasion I can get friends together to sew, they all dive under furniture when I get the camera out, LOL...
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
Your pumpkins turned out great! So fun to see your projects!
