2012 Halloween Pumpkins




 I bought 5 Dill's Atlantic Giant Pumpkin seedlings in a charity sale at work. 


I looked after them indoors for a while and then moved them to the green house to harden off.


Once there was no danger of frost I planted them out and then pretty much left them to it.


By the end of the summer I had quite a crop.


One for the doorstep.


Jack  - Nightmare Before Christmas.


And the table center piece.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hat and scarf storage bags


Autumn is in the air.

 It's time to unpack the hats, gloves & scarves. As I'm a keen knitter we have rather a lot of them. They usually hang about in the hall and often on the dinning room table.


I picked up some colourful fabric in a sale at the Fabric Warehouse.


Within an hour and a half I'd make 2 simple storage bags. 

 

Much tidier and hopefully no more lost gloves.
