Pumpkin decor

I´m so lazy and tiered these days but I should buy a pumpkin to "celebrate" autumn and decorate my credenza at the most. Who knows...maybe I´ll go all the way and spray paint it silver?! There are endless possibilities on how to decorate a pumpkin. My favorite are no-carve painting, decoupage (probable also Margarets favorite) and taping.

Soft clouds for Nikolina Flora

Made these cloud cushions before Nikolina was born. They ended up looking more like clouds when turned in side out. I´d love to get my hand on one or four Donna Wilson wool cloud cushions, but they are très expensive and I kinda like mine now.

Pumpkin love...well not love!

Before rushing off to the Faroes to see my beloved grandfather one last time, I made my first ever carved pumpkin. Carving your own pumpkin alone...not that funny - and they smell strange as well. I had it all planned in my little knowing faroese head, that I could use the excess stuff to make soup - not happening! And no one told me about the fungus factor in a warm living room. Ohhh well my pumpkin looked great for at least two days :o)

Neon Mercy

I reembroidered my "alt af naade" sign with a neon pink thread. I wasn´t loning the gray/blue color and this time I usen a big A and N - much better! Alt af naade translates to something like "Total Mercy" and the generation of my grandparents have them almost as standard in their homes. I´d like to make some "home sweet home" versions as well as some "God bless this home".
