Fall in New England

Visit us at Country Accents by NJB

No doubt our New England fall is beautiful. I never appreciated fall because it just signaled the end of summer and the beginning of winter, but our fall weather seems to be getting more and more comfortable. Actually it seems to last longer too. In the shop, we started putting out our fall product at the beginning of August. It seemed early to me but the big box stores are already putting up their Christmas displays! That's just too much for me.

Here at Country Accents by NJB, I have been working on a few primitive fall projects. This primitive pumpkin head makedo is 7" high, has a rusty star attached to his hat with a rusty safety pin. He has been shaded with glossy wood tone to give him a nice prim look.

The pillow was adapted from a pattern in the October 2008 Create & Decorate magazine. It measures 11.5" x 8.5". I did it with wool felt. The pattern is from Backyard Friends. She has it framed and I am doing that also but thought it would make a great prim pillow too!


That's it from me today. I am off to upload these things onto the website. You will find them under Studio Favorites--Fall
Thanks!
