White Rosettes for White Wednesday...

And a sweet little silver bird to go with them...
Grain sack rosettes with a perfectly tarnished silver bird from a vintage salt and pepper set with nubby creamy wool leaves sitting on...
the mother of all pumpkins! Truly, I wanted to share something besides another pumpkin today for White Wednesday but my little world has been full of little else! (you should see the dining room table, and if you do, let me know which spot you cleared off!) this is how my brain works, I find something I love making and then I consider what other materials can be used to make more, so as not to get bored making said thing. I try to make every one of them differently by adding a little twist here and there that way I still enjoy the process.
I love that this old grain sack says Oct.1938 on it, perfect for the season don't ya think? :)
The new harvest. I'm linking this up to Kathleen's party over at Faded Charm, come on over and join in the fun, the inspiration from the attendees will blow you away! I'm also linking this up to a great party over @ Debras... The Vintage Inspiration Party! So much inspiration here in Blog Land... it's really amazing to me, the wealth of creativity is fabulous!!

Guess what... today is my one year blogiversary! I cannot believe it! I was really intimidated by the whole idea at first, and now one year later I am so glad I jumped in. I have 'met' some amazing people here and you have all enriched my life beyond measure. I wish I could thank you all personally, but until someone around here wins the lottery and/or becomes a pilot I will just have to send you all hugs from cyberspace! I want to do a little giveaway but I want it to be special and not forced. (which given the whole pumpkin thing it would be... seriously these people here @ 612 have me tied to a chair at the table with a can of wool and stuffing near by, only letting me up to make them food) (send help) :O So I will put my little thinking cap on and come up with something and surprise you all! Mostly I am only telling you about the date because I wanted to tell you all how special you are to me and how happy I am to have you here.

Thanks for stopping by! Theresa xoxo

p.s. I promise the next post will not have a pumpkin amywhere in sight! xoxo

    You are a one woman pumpkin factory. (Is there a "patch" for that?)

  15. Thank you for stopping by, I think your pumpkins are gorgeous, we don't do Halloween or Thanksgiving in Australia- and it's Spring so totally the wrong season, but if I lived over your way I would want one of those.

  20. Theresa, your pumpkins are just beautiful! It is difficult to pick my favorite! Congrats on the one year. My "Document cloth" was purchased at a local fabric shop. However, I have seen it online....Ballards is one online shop that carries it. Thank you for stopping by with your kind comments.

  22. Hey Theresa! Congrats on your one year in blog land. I love seeing what your crafty little mind is up to. Those pumpkins are fabulous. Even with crocheting, as long as I change colors, I can keep working on the same kinda pattern. But if I had to use the same color over and over, I would go bonkers. Happy day to you! Best wishes, Tammy

    Happy Blogevesraysyaryay. I can never spell it without looking so I will just leave it at that :) We must have started around the same time! I think I started a few weeks before Halloween. I actually only made a page so I could learn how & teach Kate how...back then she was a mad blog reader & I wanted her to get hers going so bad! I thought mine was just a test blog but here I am a year later! So glad we both stuck with it! Now it would be weird to stop! I better run I have 2 boys making a mad house as I sit here but hope all is well with your sweet fam at 612!
