Pumpkin season is my favourite. I wish it could be pumpkin season all year long and it's rare that I manage to not start pulling out my pumpkin decorations before September. Because we're still living the temporary lifestyle and Scotland doesn't go nearly as pumpkin crazy as I would like, I need to make my own pumpkin everything. With a basic sweater and some wool roving, you can make a super cute Felt Pumpkin Elbow Patch to celebrate the season wherever you are. Supplies: sweater (I ... Read More

Clove Pumpkin and Leaf Pouches
I always get excited when fall rolls around because cinnamon and clove are my two favorite scents. Fall makes it acceptable to fill the house with their smell and I keep it going throughout winter. I can't get enough! It's so easy to get cinnamon scented pinecones, so I decided to add in the clove scent I love with these Clove Pumpkin and Leaf Pouches! This post contains affiliate links.

Savory Pumpkin Soup
When I was growing up, pumpkin was pretty much just pumpkin pie to me, which I have never overly cared for (I know!). In New Zealand, though, I was introduced to pumpkin in a whole new way.

I desperately needed a way to share my love of all things pumpkin--you know, so when a stranger sees me at the grocery store, she can look at me and say to herself "That woman is a pumpkin lover!". This is an important thing for people to know about me. It made sense to make a Pumpkin Everything Shirt and I'm super tickled with how it turned out! This post contains ... Read More

Fall Front Door Decor
If it could just stay fall all the time, I'd be quite content. Every year around the beginning of August, I start eyeing our fall decor. Scott lets me get away with a lot, but the idea of putting out our decorations in August gets a very firm no from him. This year, though, I managed to start putting out some decorations at the beginning of the school year at the end of August because we were cleaning the garage and it just cluttered it up. It did. Really. I love the colors of fall--the ... Read More
