One of my recent visits to Terrain created an intense love for velvet pumpkins…definitely love at first sight! O.M.G., why have I never seen these before! The display in the store was just breathtaking…how incredibly beautiful! As much as I hate leaving summer, I now have a wonderful reason to celebrate fall…velvet pumpkins!! So, I spent the first night of fall staying up into the wee hours of the night making velvet pumpkins…they are addicting!!
Here I present my homage to the new season, using my new creations…enjoy!
Because so many have asked, I am going to put together a tutorial (another late night!) on creating these beauties and I will post it tomorrow…if you want to try your hand at making them, check in tomorrow for the instructions.
The pumpkins I saw in Terrain, that created such a stir in my heart, can be purchased in an unreal assortment of colors, on this website: http://www.hotskwash.com/hot-skwash-online-store/ To shop Terrain online: www.shopterrain.com
Hope you enjoyed my velvet pumpkins! Remember, if you want to give them a try, check in tomorrow for “how-to” instructions. Thanks for visiting, Jackie
