hand painted doily pumpkins

 happy autumn days, my friends!

i wanted to share some of my hand painted pumpkins with you...

 inspired by the pumpkins featured in the latest issue of Country Living magazine... where real doily's are glued to plastic pumpkins...
i decided to try my hand at painting doily designs using a Sharpie Paint Marker...just like i have been using on my Doily Rocks (see three posts ago)..... 

it's rather like "doily's R us" here at my house...what with my Doily Rocks, Doily Bowls and NOW Doily Pumpkins...sheesh.....

a friend of mine has even been teasing me and saying, "put a doily on it", no matter the subject we are talking about....

she is funny and i love her.

these are just some of the pretties that i will be selling at the Franklin Pumpkinfest on October 27th.

i will also be selling some of my art too....which i have been working very hard on....i have many paintings, which i can not wait to show you.....i just have not had the chance to photograph them yet....

with my fall gardening chores (hey, it's my job), regular walks in the woods (mandatory at this time of year, the leaves are starting to change!), art, art and more art....i find it difficult to keep up with my blog right now...so please bare with me....there just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day right now for everything i want to do!   

do you ever feel that way?

i sure hope so, because it is actually a great feeling.... to be able to do all of these things that i love to do.... and i am getting excited about selling some of my things....in fact, i have been getting so many e-mails inquiring about my art, that i am seriously thinking of opening an Etsy shop...it will have to wait though until november when i have more time to look into it. 

so, lots goin on here.
hope you are keeping busy too.
if you sit still long enough,

 i may put a Doily on you too!

p.s.  just in case  you are wondering....i purchased the plastic pumpkins at michaels craft store, on sale at 50% off....painted them with shades of gray paint that i had on hand....and used a Sharpie paint pen to free hand the doily designs, i bought the pens at 50% off at michaels too.

p.s.s  you can always find coupons for michaels crafts stores in the paper and also on line.

p.s.s.s.  i rarely pay full price for anything at michaels.

p.s.s.s.s  i try not to pay full price for anything, anywhere!
