outfit post: stripes and mustard

I absolutely can't believe that October is almost over! Seriously? Where did it go?

I'm so sad that our apple harvest is nearly over, and almost all of our pumpkins have been sold. I'm so so sad that I didn't get to take advantage of the gorgeous backdrop the farm provides this Fall for more photoshoots...but I've just been too darn busy working! Therefore, today after work I raced into the house to get cleaned up a bit so that I could head back out into the field to take some photos. Jordyn and I were even treated to the most magnificent sunset while we were out there. So lovely.

Also, it was ridiculously windy while we took these photos. It was crazy, and so beautiful as it rained down coloured leaves around us. Have I mentioned how much I love Fall yet?

Also, we had an epic pumpkin carving contest last night. It was the bomb. Can't wait to share it with you all!

diy: black and white painted pumpkins

Today I have another simple idea for decorating pumpkins that doesn't involve carving (in case you missed it, I made dip dyed glitter pumpkins last week)! I decided to do some simple colour blocking with black and white, and I love how they came out.

Materials:

-pumpkins

-acrylic paint

-paint brush

-tape

Directions:

First I taped off each pumpkin, either diagonally, horizontally through the middle, or crisscrossing across the top. Then, I simply painted the areas I wanted black or white, and left them to dry. I did one coat of paint for the black, and two for the white paint. Once they were completely dry, I carefully removed the paint.

*Of course I couldn't resist adding a bit of glitter to one pumpkin, and just painted on a bit of modge podge and sprinkled some glitter on!
