fall decorations

Do you remember my son's dilemma

over the acorns that we collected for my fall sign?

well I found this cute tutorial on how to make acorns!

Yes I will not have to hear how we are hurting nature

and all the animals that eat the acorns!

I will still need the top part of the acorn,

but I am quite sure most creatures do not eat that part!

(I do remember my grandfather feeding acorns to his rabbits!)

While I was at it,

I also made some fabric pumpkins,

too easy and too cute to pass.

I used this tutorial.
Basically it is a rectangle (twice the width for the height),
stitched on the side and gathered on both ends.
The key part is using some floss to shape the pumpkin.

I started with a 6 x 12 rectangle for the big one, and

a 4 x 8 for the little one.

I put all of the fall decor pieces on my fall table setting,
the little porcelain tray needed some thing!

Happy sewing!
