ShOppInG At JoAnnS and aNoTher PumPkiN...

Hello everyone...how is everyone this beautiful Wednesday morning? It is beautiful here...the leaves are starting to fall though and the sun is setting a different way..it feels like fall in the mornings especially..although I am enjoying this weather...Okay yesterday I went to Joanns after dropping hubby off for his Drs. appt and list in hand I hit the fabric dept..not expecting to find some really cute fabrics..but I did..these above not sure what I will use them on..or I will just use the thanksgiving one on my table till I decide..they had some cute fabrics there yesterday and I am a sucker for more fabric...lol..
these will be used in my pumpkin making...love them..
chenille on the left to make "sugar" pumpkins, and orange velvet on the right to make pumpkins...this was on clearance for $7.00 a yard so I picked up 2 yards..:)
fall/halloween ribbon....
cupcake holders..Love the crow ones..I am having to partys soon..so will make cupcakes and use these...
more thread for my embroidery machine and to see up pumpkins with..;)
joanns is getting a whole new "martha stewart" line in..and I coudn't resist these treat bags..will give out bags of treats to my party guests for my partys...
They had these really neat stencils there that help you to shade stuff in layers..I love this..and I can use these to make "blocks" with ...
here is the larger one opened so you could see whats inside..;)
the directions on how to use your stencils etc..;)can't wait to use these..need to get hubby to cut me some wood.;)
Well I put the orange velvet to good use yesterday...I embroidered this design onto it..and it is an "embossed" design so it gives it a 3-d effect...and I love it..;)
really makes the words pop off the pumpkin..:)
I gathered some of my little pinecones from my yard and used one of my dried stems and waaallaah!! a pumpkin...I love how this one turned out..I have 4 more designs to do.. a witch, a crow, a pumpkin and a scary cat...when I get home from my drs. appt today..I will be making more of these little beauties...the fabric is cut...just waiting for me to embroider and sew em up...I will be listing these on etsy for our Fall Celebration that we are doing...but will probably list this one today...;) I can't wait that long..so I must go and get ready..I hope you all have a fabulous day..;)
oh and don't forget to help that Sick little Kitty Mia..the donations bar is on my side bar....;) post it on your blog too.;) Thank you again for helping.;)

  1. Please don't tell me that Martha Stewart is invading Joanns!!!!!!! She's already invaded Michaels and ruined the scrapbook supply section. I guess you can tell I'm not a Martha fan! LOL! That golden velvet pumpkin is to die for......I find one I love and you post another one that I can't resist! Hoping to go to Joanns on Thursday after some lab work.

  14. Hi Gina,

    Love that pumpkin ! Just awesome the way it turned out !

    You must have shopped at a super Joann's because I don't think the little Joann's in my town has any of the items you purchased !

    I have to go to Pittsburgh, 2 1/2 hours away from me, to find one !

    Those little treat bags are cute !

    Hugs,
    Linda

  17. Gina,

    Love the new pumpkin. Your embroidery machine is awesome if it can do all that you've been showing us.

    How about making a table runner with the fabric or some placemats?
    Can't wait to see how you use your fall fabric.

    Happy crafting.
