Bring it on, fall

Still nothing new.  I did get out my fall decorations, though.  I haven't distributed around the house yet- that'll probably be this weekend.  Although it is the perfect weather for it now (those other Utah people out there know what I'm talking about- 75 during the day and down into the 50's at night- lovely, wonderful, perfect). 
Anyway, I found these when I was going through my fall stuff:

My no-sew fabric pumpkins.  I made them at a church activity the fall after Mike and I were married- they were one of the first decorations that I made for our little apartment and they're still one of my favorites.  They're also one of the easiest I've ever done.  Ready?
You take a circle of fabric- for the littler pumpkins I think it was about 18-20 inches in diameter (I'm betting a fat quarter would be just about right) and for the larger pumpkin, about 30-32 inches in diameter.
Then you put some poly fill in the middle of the circle and gather the fabric up around it.  Make sure it's not going to be to full- you need to be able to maneuver it around to create a flat-ish bottom and a more pumpkin-like shape.
Then you take a twig or cut stick and hold that in the middle of your gather and tie it closed with raffia and/or some scrap fabric.
And... done!  So easy, right?  And the possibilities are endless- I'm going to make some with orange and natural burlap, and I'll probably replace the raffia with twine on the ones I've already made.  You could make an orange felt one and then cut out jack o lantern shapes and faces on black felt, and then you have a toy/decoration, which are so so useful.

I thought of a new craft for tomorrow.  That's right, I'm going to make something for the first time in like a week.  Weird.
