Autumnal Crochet Bunting

The seasons are definately changing. The leaves on the liquid amber are already starting to change in patches, the sky is grey, the floor is cold and we saw mushrooms sprouting on the side of the road on the way home from school. Brrr, the cold is coming. But......... inside it's warming up with Autumnal Crochet Bunting on the Celebration Table. And, I love the word 'Autumnal'. I'll use any opportunity to pop it into a conversation.

So here's the Autumnal bunting strung up in the tree on our Celebration Table. It's made from the Rowan Cotton Glace I found in the op shop in Mornington that happened to be just the right Autumnal colours. Rich orange, burnt red and deep purple with a mossy green to bring them together. I wasn't sure whether to embroider 'AUTUMN' on it but I really wanted to so, I did! I like the little buttons too.

The Celebration Table is a place where we celebrate the seasons and somewhere to share our treasures we gather over the coming months. We just fairwelled our Summer table over the week end and are looking forward to what our Autumn table will become. Needs more colour and texture I think.



We made autumn leaves from paper and took off the outer layer of our 'seasonal tree' you can see to the right. We also had a little pile of acorns we'd collected on our school walks however, Little 1 kept eating them so they had to go. We have to be careful now what goes on the table as she can easily reach. In fact the whole thing may have to move, well see!!

Now the bunting was inspired by my favourite gal Lucy over in Attic 24 where you can see her colourful mini bunting right here and also by this pattern at Pink Milk . A combination of the 2 has lead to this and I want more.......lots more!!! It was so quick and easy that there is absolutely no excuse not to have mini bunting everywhere! Although right now I am having a go at crocheting Little 1 some snuggly wooly slippers and the more time I spend blogging, the less time I have to crochet.

I really need to wriggle on with our 40th posts Em. I'm up to Day 3, Part 2. I'll request some time from Mr Le over this long week end to loose myself in blog land. Ok, time for some hooky happiness to create slippers all snuggied under the doona. I might only last 5 minutes before my eyes close!!!

By the way, check out the biggest tomato we have ever harvested, what joy!!
