I had thought about making this a pumpkin week here, but I think I may have had my fill already. I find them hard to resist. I love their shape and colour, such a quirky fruit the pumpkin, don't you agree? The house is now littered with different sizes and shapes of pumpkin bought in my local market in anticipation of being carved for Halloween. Still to come is our preschool pumpkin picking field trip next week along with an evening of pumpkin tart making (yes that's tart, not pie) with my craft group.
On the craft front, my plan for this week is to make curtains for the kitchen. We have ginormous doors from our kitchen out onto the deck which are fabulous and let in so much light. But, as the nights draw in, I'd like to make the kitchen feel a little cozier and more private. Unfortunately the house came with vertical blinds which, whilst functional, are dreadful. Apologies to anyone who has these, but personally, apart from the Roman variety (of which I have lots), I cannot bear blinds. So office like. So these are going this week. Curtains are my sewing comfort zone - but these will be a bit of a departure, involving embellishment...
