It is so EASY to sleep in with a PERFECT combination: chilly fall air, a down comforter & my cozy attic of a bedroom.
However, today wasn't a SLEEP IN kind of morning.
Today, I woke up early (for a Saturday), got a few things done then soon after found myself seated
in my new CRAFT corner with
a warm cup of Chai tea (Yummm!)
& the crisp fall air slowly creeping
in through
my slightly cracked window.
PROJECT on my mind?
I wanted to finish up the 3rd pumpkin (the white one)
...so, I did just that.

1. Found a font. ("PMingLiU" is the name - not your typical font name)
2. Traced the font onto the pumpkin.
3. Hand painted the numbers. (Using a black acrylic craft paint)
NOTE: Thankfully, I am not a brain surgeon as I don't have a steady hand. Imperfections are okay - it's just adds a unique aspect to your project.

4. Then, I headed downstairs to place it outside. I displayed it on the patio with the other two pumpkins.
No worries - I will add to the arrangement little by little.
I will think of some more "odds and ends" to complete the look, but for now,
I'm just glad the pumpkins are all painted!
MORE TO COME...
