Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

Gobble Until You Wobble!

Have a Great Thanksgiving, Everyone!

I am preparing for my family's Thanksgiving feast.  This year, I will start days ahead and prepare what I can ahead in hopes of not being inundated with the cooking on Thanksgiving day.  Also, I am cleaning as much as I can and getting out Christmas decorations!  Not much in the way of making things for sale, but then, I am not trying to make a living in that manner.  My shop at Etsy looks skimpy, but that is because many of my items are at a gallery show featuring holiday items for sale.  The Artfire shop has more items listed.

The Pumpkins Are Coming!

September 20th UPDATE:  Yes, I am slow in getting new photos and listings up.  Gotta get it done.  I, however, have posted a photo of a fabric wall hanging entitled Whimsy Witch on my Artfire shope:  This was made last year and sold before having the chance to be listed.  I am offering to make to order, on a limited basis, another for any one who wants one - however, I do not plan to make any past the first week of October.
I have been working on a few pumpkins in between my busy schedule for this week.  However, a couple were purchased by someone of my locality and did not stay with me long enough to even be photographed.  That is okay as that I have started on a few more.  Now, I need to get them finished and listed.  I do not intend to make more for sale after this week as that I need to move on to other projects.  Have a great weekend, everyone!http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/CherChic/3836790

Cher Chic's Pumpkin Patch

~Click on photo above for much larger view.~

I placed all of my pumpkin creations on a table for a "group" photo.  I really had fun making these and will be sad whenever one leaves me.  The pumpkin place mat is of a set of mine that I made several years back.  I use them every autumn from September through end of November.  (Other views of various pumpkins can be found on this page...keep scrolling down.)

The pumpkins can be found on my ETSY shop.

September 21 UPDATE:  I am working on a "Oh-So-Cute" Halloween wall hanging and aim to have it posted in a day or two.  I like this time of the year!

Pumpkins Abound!

These and other pumpkins made by me can be found on my ETSY shop.

If you would like duplicates of these shown, please contact me for availability (depends on availability of material).  If you would like a pumpkin made for you in a specific color or theme, do not hesitate to contact me:  I will take all requests into consideration, which really depends on whether material is obtainable or on my time restraints.

The Pumpkin Patch Is Overflowing

Visit my Etsy shop for these pumpkins.

NOTE:  I am in the process of making at least 5 more pumpkins -- Pics of

 these will be posted and will be listed for sale ASAP.

Harvesting My Pumpkins

I am in the process of listing, on my Etsy shop, the pumpkins that I completed during the past few days.  I aim to get all posted by late Sunday.  I also have some cloth napkins and a set of Christmas place mats that will go up for sale.

This pumpkin is on an Etsy Treasury! What a compliment!

It Is Time for Pumpkins!

I am presently stitching up some soft sculptured pumpkins.  Recently, I ran across a great find at a yard sale:  a huge stash of fabrics from a quilter of 20 + years.  From this stash, and from a selected number of prints purchased by me within the last year, these pumpkins are being created.  I do not know why, but the pumpkins are one of my favorite things to make.  Keep an eye out for these on my Etsy and Artfire shops next week!

THINKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS

I know that someone may be moaning, "already putting things out for Christmas!"  No, I am making it a goal to start making items for Christmas (and Halloween & Thanksgiving) in order to have these ready for the holidays.  As soon as I complete each item, if not for a gift for a family member or close friend, I will post it on Etsy and/or Artfire for sale.
~If you would like to see something made that you have not seen in my blog or shops, feel free to give input.  I will certainly take suggestions into consideration!~
