a garden art reminder
soon to be covered with leaves
and then the snow
Each acorn I watch
falling in the yard
I smile
Because "they" say
tons of acorns
tons of snow
and I say
"no problem for me"
Winter and Snow
live comfortably
in my
Wisconsin Born Heart
But until then
I am going to enjoy
a delicious fall season
and
the fruits it brings to the table
the gardens are ready to sleep
plants have been cut back
and
lately I have had time to
play and create
indoors
This summer I took a photo of a pumpkin I saw at a a flea market in Tipton, Indiana My friend Barbie and I traveled to this market together and although this market was small we found ideas galore and some we are recreating. Barbie and I met together yesterday and played around with materials and here are some of the pumpkin creations. They are made from old light weight sweaters. I found that the sleeve of the sweater produced the best results. Barbie found some natural items from her yard which we used as well as some threads and yarns for embellishment.  I have had some busy, busy days of late and it was great fun last night to knit a bit on my dish cloths and then make some more pumpkins. My hubby and I are meeting up with friends tonight for pizza and I can't wait to bring one of these creations along for my Icelandic friend. Remember this for me. Life passes us by so swiftly. It is important to do for others but sometimes in the process we forget ourselves. Live your creativity authentically. ~ ~ ~ September The goldenrod is yellow; The corn is turning brown; The trees in apple orchards With fruit are bending down. The gentian's bluest fringes Are curling in the sun; In dusky pods the milkweed Its hidden silk has spun. The sedges flaunt their harvest In every meadow-nook; And asters by the brookside Make asters in the brook. From dewy lanes at morning The grapes' sweet odors rise; At noon the roads all flutter With yellow butterflies. By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer's best of weather, And autumn's best of cheer. |

those pumpkins are so cute - especially with your little natural embellishments. :)
Oh, my....I luv that mossy bunny.
The apples around here are a little late this year...I'm waiting on the Honey Crisp.
Tons of acorns, tons of snow...that's exactly why we cut down the big oak tree a couple years ago. Not really..it wasn't healthy and unfortunately we have others. The oak trees bring so many squirrrels.
You're very creative and crafty. I have not one bit of talent in the craft department and so I always enjoy seeing what others create.
Born in the Badger State? The older I get the more I appreciate living in this part of the country...snow and all.
