It's Pumpkin Week at Basil and Blue!

In gorgeous shades of orange and creams, and variety of sizes and shapes from big and round to cute and squatty, who couldn't love pumpkins?  With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I decided to dedicate this week to them.  Whether they are used in decorating, fun activities, or in delicious recipes, this versatile squash is a much loved symbol of the fall season.


This week, join us on our Facebook Page to share recipes and other great pumpkin ideas.  Let's have a pumpkin challenge!  Find inspiration online to share, or do a DIY project and share your little pumpkin creations.  From decorating your porch or living room, to recipes and kids crafts, we'd love to hear from you!

Here are some inspirations to get us started:

I love fabric.  Ok, there.  I said it!  There is just something about pretty prints in fresh colors that just makes me feel happy and inspired.

This great tutorial from Better Homes and Gardens gives you a variety of ideas you can accomplish with even small amounts of fabric, and I just had to share it with you.

Below are some of my favorite projects outlined in the article.  Enjoy!
