Halloween!

I am TOTALLY a summer girl!
But unfortunately, as it seems to do every year, things are starting to cool down around here.
As we are in the last week of summer, it is time to look forward to the cold months.
And what gets me through these months?
Holidays.
HALLOWEEN
THANKSGIVING
CHRISTMAS
Ok, now I'm getting excited :]
Last week I made my first Halloween decoration!
I found a $1 frame at Michaels, and decorated it with scrapbook paper and ribbon. I drew out a pattern on paper, and then stitched it onto muslin. I used some blending chalk to color in the pumpkin and stem. Stuck it in the frame, and voila, I had made a cute little Halloween decoration.



What do you think? I love the end result! And it was so cheap and easy, always a plus! Below is a closeup of the stitching:
