It all started with a pumpkin...

All crazy endeavors start somewhere... Mine started with Pinterest and a pumpkin.  I saw a tutorial for a fabric pumpkin and before you know it.....

This..

Pumpkin Patch

And this...

Fall Pumpkins

and finally, this....

More Fall Pumpkins

Yes,  pumpkins have exploded all over our home.  I followed the tutorial but soon made some changes to make it mine.  I spent a lot of hours with yarn and embroidery floss and while I'm proud of my work, I'm also glad they are finished. The plan is to sell them at a Relay For Life fundraiser next weekend with two purposes in mind.  First, I want to donate my proceeds to my local Relay For Life.  Second, it will be a nice way to see if they will be well received by buyers and test out pricing.  I'll also be selling some hand stamped Halloween cards that I'm working on today.  I'm excited and nervous all at the same time because this will be the first time that this little bird will be out in public!

Stay tuned for progress on the shop and images of my Halloween cards.

Update: 10/10/11 - I added the link to the tutorial where I found this at the top.  I made some changes to it to get what you see above.  Enjoy.

Cheers,
this little bird
