Autumnal goodies…..

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

For the first time ever I’m going to do a show in October.   The St. Cornelius Parish in Chicago’s Jefferson Park neighborhood is hosting a Fall Fest on Saturday  October 3rd,  and while it sounds like brilliant fun I don’t have much in the way of Octoberie/fall goodies……….until now

pumpkins pumpkin faces

I’m loving putting little faces on everything right now (you probably guessed that with my acorn obsession)…….I guess the anthropomorphic magic is really strong  in Critterville right now.

I’m of course busy, busy, busy in preparation for the show………eeeeeeeek exciting!!!! lots of pumpkins and new goodies to come too.

Whaaaaaat!!!!!

September 1st!!! already!!!! Good Grief……when the heck did that happen?  I’m shocked.

I do love the fall, don’t get me wrong……I just absolutely hate aknowledging the end of summer,  although these wee guys just might get me through it….

acorns

Oh how I love acorns,  we found a giant oak tree on Sunday night that I had managed to never see before (not sure how I managed that) and the acorns are positively huge so the caps needed to be filled with a lot of wool to be convincing which of course got me thinking they looked like heads with hats on and voila……..

acornsI want to make a million of them as they make me smile to make them and just looking at a wee pile of them makes me giggle.    I turned the first batch into pins………what do you think?
