Pumpkin ornaments

Halloween is coming!

These are my daughter Selina's new pumpkin ornaments!

These Halloween ornaments are just the perfect way to finish a design and make the sweetest gift! The pack comes with three different shapes and sizes of pumpkin.

By the way...her labor day sale ends Saturday the 9th...20 % off  most everything...no coupon needed.

My sale ends saturday too...last chance to get some great deals!

With this pack are- 3 pumpkin ornament wood blanks (3 different designs). These are not tinted (but you can tint them by adding a wash of watercolor to them....so very easy!!!) Hooks to hang are included.

These are handmade in America!

Here is how they start...in the package....

you can keep them wood colored or watercolor them (literally blobbing on the color...like a kid)

This one makes a fun necklace!

Each one is individually crafted and so easy to add your design or embroidery to.

These 6 designs are included!!!! There is 2 pumpkin faces, a leaf with berries, "Halloween Hag", "Pumpkin butt" and "Eat drink and be thankful".

Ornaments are:

Tall measures:

4” x 2”

Wide measure:

3” x 2 3/4”

Round measures:

2 1/2” x 3”

With this purchase you will also get 6 embroidery designs. Also included is a "how to" sheet with helpful hints.

You can add pretty fabric, cross-stitch, beading, stamped out words and sayings, ...and your own photos!!!!!.....and much more. These could also be pendant for a necklace or add a magnet to the back for your fridge! Another idea is to glue a pinback to the back and make a wearable pin.

These are not the finished products....they are the wooden ornaments for you to use.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selina also has New Needle minders!

If you have never heard of needle minders...

they are simply a cute tool to keep your needle close by...say on an embroidery hoop.

There are magnets to make the needle stay put!

She has a sweet kitty cat!

a spooky pumpkin called "Sew spooky"....

A snowman....

Never lose a needle again. Keep your needle close at hand when stitching....this needle minder is cut from wood, with our own cute design. This is highly magnetic...and fits on your hoop, and will not fall off. Just place your needle on the needle minder and it will cling to the top of the needle minder.

They make great gifts for Christmas ....stocking stuffers too.

A puppy dog...

Heart on spool...

Bunny on a spool too.

These are her first six....she will have more in the future too.

Here she is...just turned 20 this week!

Her boyfriend turned 21.

I have been working on a variety of projects lately....

I had a card challenge...from the roost tribe.

In August you had to make a card using your designs...

I love Halloween so I had to choose it as my subject.

Here is the back...with a trail of candy corn.

When printing the card it is set up this way....the back to the left and the front to the right side.

IT was very fun!

These are Selina's card designs.... both for birthdays...

one was her woodland forest creatures and the other's theme was desserts.
