This Is A Pumpkin House

I've had this little gem for awhile now but DH just put it up over the weekend -

Photobucket

I now have my own pumpkin sign :o) It's designed to be put outside but I don't want it ruined so we've mounted it right inside the door as you come in the house. DH asked if it was time to put my pumpkin light away. What? I-don't-think-so. This is a pumpkin house after all ;o)

What's great about this sign is that you can buy other shapes and therefore you can change them as the seasons or holidays change. I don't have a manufacturer's name but I found a site that carries some of the other shapes so you can check them out. While I was searching, I found this sign. I think it would make a perfect addition ;o)

Today I went to the doctor and got the H1N1 shot. I was really up in the air about it but after thinking back to last Christmas, there was no way I wanted to end up in the hospital again :o( So far the only side effects I've noticed have been a runny nose and sneezing. At least I think they are associated with the shot but maybe they're not. If that's as bad as it gets then I'll be happy.

I've really been motoring along with My Lady's Quaker and I 'think' I may have (just) enough Chimney Dust to get me to the end of this project -

I filled in two different motifs on either side of the bunny and I have stitched my initials in Old Rose instead of Chimney Dust. That way it's even more personalized :o)

I'm so excited because I'm getting closer to being done! Weeeeeeeee!!!!

Your sign looks very inviting. And the stitching is coming along beautifully. And the best news is that you're protected against the mean old flu!

Loving the cute pumpkin sign, very unusual... not sure I'd want it left outside either!

What a wonderful idea on Quaker Lady to stitch your initials in a different colour, I'd have never thought of that.

I am working on the Quaker Lady and I finished the Seaside Sweethearts this year, also. You have many of the same pieces I do it is so weird. It's like looking in my own to-do basket.
I love the color choice of your Quaker Lady. It is really coming along. She is so beautiful.
