Got Pumpkins?

Some pics of the pumpkin decor at our farmer's market:

I love this banner. I want this banner.

I wish I could do something like this to decorate for Thanksgiving, but I don't have the room. Maybe a mini version . . . .

I thought it was really clever, writing the recipe for pumpkin pie directly on the pumpkin.

Wouldn't be the country without the classic hay bale, weird squash and wooden cart display. Now I'm definitely in the mood for Thanksgiving.

That banner is awesome! You could paint that, you know ;)

I don't decorate for Thanksgiving. We're more than 250 feet off the road, up a hill, so no one would see it anyway. I do for Christmas because of all the lights. To me though, "Thanksgiving" lights look like Halloween lights and vice/versa and I guess I'm not big on that. But come Christmas...look out! ;)

Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday.

Seeing your pictures reminded me of one year when I threw four or five decorative gourd seeds in the garden. OMG! It engulfed a 20x 20 foot area. Friends got tired of me giving them away. LOL!

I never again planted them, but maybe someday I'll put them out in the big field. They're welcome to take over that ground.

I know, in my spare time, had I any! Ha.

I rarely decorate for Thanksgiving except some table centerpieces. We're getting some new family members this year, including Oliver's aunt and grandfather and cousin from his mom's side of the family, so I'm trying to be a little more decorative. Maybe I'm just stick to centerpieces and food. :)

We're twins; it's my favorite holiday, too. I think it's because my Dad loved it so much, and I feel him right there with me in the kitchen while I'm cooking.
Also the leftover turkey sandwiches are pretty awesome.

I know better than to throw seeds anywhere around here -- I did that as a kid with watermelon seeds, and they took over our backyard. :)

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Love Means This

Invested in a couple of hand-dyed bundles from one of my favorite fabric artists. This one said "Make me into something for Valentine's Day." So I went for a quilted and embellished tote. I kept thinking about what love means to me as I worked on it. Here's the finished tote. Although I was tempted to embellish with beads and pins, I got sick and only felt well enough to do a little stitching every night. As I worked I thought about how often love seems disappointing to us, especially when it fails to live up to our expectations. But now that I've experienced love in many forms, I can say that it's made me a better person than I might have been without it. Love is a precious thing, and should be appreciated in all its forms. I am very grateful for the love of my guy, my child and my friends who have stuck with me all these years. That's you two, in case you're wondering. :) Also finally found something to do with a ve...

Wild Ride

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...
