From Pumpkins To NO Pumpkins...


These are some of my VERY favorite pumpkins.
White Pumpkins !  

Last year, I purchased one of these beauties.

I had a plan...





The plan started with a display on the porch steps.

At the end of last Autumn, 
I tossed the Big White Pumpkin 
into the garden and split it open, leaving it to sit all winter.





Spring arrived and so did all of my 
little 'WHITE' pumpkin plants.  
I was proud...White pumpkins would soon be mine !





I thinned the plants, watered them 
and all around babied them !





I was rewarded with blossoms.
My goodness, you would have thought they were gold !
(Well, they are actually gold colored.)
Beautiful. ;)





This is how my pumpkin patch looks in August...
Where are the vines ?
(Normally they grow like weeds !)
Where are the little expanding pumpkins ?
Nothing !
I have no idea what has become of my little pumpkin patch !

How funny, did I actually take pictures all along... 
thinking I was going to post pictures at the end, 
of gorgeous Big White Pumpkins ?? 





On a different note...
I am so excited - Valdani Perle cotton is starting 
to arrive here and I am eager 
to begin listing it in Three Sheep Studio !
(Be watching in the next couple weeks 
for gorgeous colors to pop up in the Studio.)

I am dreaming of projects to dig into,
 to use this amazing thread.

Enjoy this beautiful day...
