Pumpkins are not my thing.
But…I have a pumpkiny thing for every day this week!
When I decorate a pumpkin
When I embarrass a pumpkin I feel less of a crafter.
Whey does a pumpkin frustrate me so?
Pumpkins are along the lines of vignettes for me.
Not in my vocabulary as a crafter/creative person.
I didn’t do justice to a feather pumpkin (did you see the Diva pumpkin?)
But. I thought a hobnail pumpkin I could manage.
And I did…kinda.
I’m getting good at pictures.
That’s all I am saying.
Because those little dots on those pumpkins don’t look that great.
And they don’t even look great in the picture.
In real life…not good.
It is a simple enough concept…
Use hot glue to make little bumps all over the pumpkin
mimicking the hobnail.
Don’t know what hobnail is?
It’s the vases and dishes with all the bumps all over.
Usually vintage. Often white.
Here they are after they were painted.
I had a bright idea to add ribbon on the stems.
Long explanation…it didn’t work.
So, I glittered them instead.
And we ended up with these…
My hobnail pumpkins.
Kinda.
My Diva pumpkin and Hobnail pumpkins are going to the party at Debbiedoo’s, Fox Hollow Cottage, and Mom 4 Real’s.
Even Cinderella got to go to the ball!
Linking up this post with these happening places…
Ummm. yes your photos are getting really good girl! – You are getting that Lighting nailed! Your pumpkins are really cute!
You little photographer, you! I think they are super cute and hobnaily!
giggle…is hobnaily even a word?? Love!
Hob nail warts. That is the in thing this Halloween, so you are right on top of it.
~Bliss~
Yes!!! That’s what I should have called those…hobnail wart pumpkins. And maybe a hair here or there. Gosh. I should really ask you these things first.
I learned something new today…thank you. Hobnail hmm now I know
Photos are great girl and so are your hob-knobby-nail pumpkins!
You didn’t know about hobnail??
Who knew you could learn something here.
I don’t mean to teach anything.
Just have fun.
But, next time you go to an antique store you can sound all smart… “look at that beautiful hobnail vase”. You smarty pants you.
I think your hobnail pumpkins are so cute! You have inspired me to make some to put with my milk glass display! Hugs, Penny
I have a great aversion to hob-nobs… it goes way back. But I LOVE the glittered stems.. brilliant, yo!
I think that was a GREAT idea and I LOVEEEEEE the glittered stems. Bunches

I’m really loving these pumpkins of yours. We’d love to have you come and link these up at our Pumpkin Linky Party going on for the next month. I hope you can make it because these are an unusual addition. Thanks, Linda
