Pumpkin Shirts for My Boys

 I wanted to applique something with a pumpkin for my grandsons. I decided on two different designs instead of making them matching shirts.

 Roger's onesie has the wheelbarrow with the pumpkin. It was quick and easy to do.

 Stuart's shirt has the old truck with a pumpkin. He loves anything that goes right now, so that was the choice for him.

This was another easy design to stitch and it such a cute one for little boys!

Mr. Scarecrow

 I saw a scarecrow at the grocery store and thought I can make one!

 I took a piece of cardboard that I had and measured out a piece of burlap.

 I covered the cardboard with the burlap.

 I drew his mouth and added his nose and eyes. The one at the store had button eyes but I used felt.

 I added raffia to give him the straw look. This part was the hardest and I used a lot of hot glue.

I added a piece of fabric for his hat and more "straw". I think he is a happy little fellow. I gave him to my grandsons this weekend and of course, Stuart liked him.

I hope you are enjoying the fall as much as I am. The weather has been cool and perfect!

Fall + Football = Fun

I love fall! It brings cooler days and fun times. That can mean football, mums, scarecrows, gumbo, pumpkins and just about anything else one wants. I have enjoyed working in my yard, but I did take time to make my grandsons some new things for fall. I am working on some more fun shirts this week.

Enjoy this wonderful time of year! Happy Fall!
