Farmhouse chic chenille pumpkins

09.23.20

Hey friends!  It’s finally FALL in Iowa and you can bet I’m happy!  I’m also happy to be sharing this fun little DIY I did over the weekend.  It’s for these adorable and simply – easy…Farmhouse chic chenille pumpkins!

They are seriously easy and fun to make!

Remember my beautiful pillows I made last year using an old chenille bedspread?

Well, you can read about that over here, but these adorable pumpkins were made using some remnants of that same bedspread.

Supplies:

  • scissors
  • chenille fabric pieces
  • circle pattern
  • pins
  • needle
  • thread
  • poly filler
  • twine
  • wax
  • pencil
  • twigs
  • glue

How To:  Start by tracing circles onto fabric.  (I used a 14″ platter for the larger ones, then I used a 10″ dinner plate for the smaller ones.  You can make whatever size you want).  Gather the top edge by making long basting stitches around the entire cut edges.  Once done, gather the stitching and fill with poly filler.  Tighten the stitches and knot off.  Now you can glue your top stems on.  While the glue is drying, grab the twine and cut several long pieces.  I dipped each end in hot wax and immediately wrapped the ends on a pencil to make curls.  Allow to dry and tie off on the stems.  I added some paper leaves (you can use attached template).

FALL around here means starting with our Halloween decor but not leaving pumpkins and leaves out of the picture!

We drag out lots of oranges, yellows, browns, and more to fill each room.

And let’s not forget the fun stuff besides decorating!  I mean— baking, cooking, canning, and crafts.

The cooler, crisp days mean that lots of time will be spent outdoors not only enjoying the colors and fresh breezes but building, crafting, painting and woodworking!  YAY!!!

Gotta get going before winter rolls in~

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

It’s moments like these and when he lets me cudd It’s moments like these and when he lets me cuddle him that I wish time would stand still. So very thankful to be blessed with precious grands!

He likes working outdoors in the cold for a bit so he can come inside and have a “hot cocoa tea party” as he calls it!💋 He loves this tea set and so do I ❣️

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.
.
And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!
.
Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂
