let's sing some pumpkin carols....

 Two little flat pumpkin pins made of painted fabric

 and using a rolled fabric stem and a twig from the yard

 no doubt a bougainvillea clipping,

 now i use repurposed chopsticks  parts,

 stained a brown color for stems.

 made from halloween fabric

  mini pants 

 to dance in if you are a tiny dancer!

We had an etch and sketch feature on our first computer 

so i made this greeting inspired by

Charlie Brown's  seasonal cartoon 

 where he searches for the most sincerely pumpkin in the patch.

As a vintage child, I like to watch each year.
the cat peeking over the top is mz Ivy. 

Orange to mango and  sunny greens, colored fabric laying about

trimming left over  from a mango inspired quilt

a block of  which is shown above 

now lives on in a pair of  stuffed pumpkin.

They become more dear

each year, 

as my hands start to ache with too much holding, stitching, and stuffing

Must be time to get out the  unscented Bengay, Salonpas, or cbd salve

and go read a book!

 happy time of pumpkins to you all

 and 

try not  eat  all  the  candy  corn !

Be well, Sonja

sending an October sunset your way
