"I love the look of these pumpkin pincushions and the idea is so versatile! I am thinking that I would make some smaller ones in traditional pumpkin colors and have some really cute items to sell at an upcoming craft show. They could be used as dcor, but for the sewists out there, they could just as easily be used for a pin cushion in the sewing room. I like having more than one type of pin cushion around for different projects. One could put different pins in each cushion, or needles in one, pins in another. I also think a tiny pumpkin pincushion on each plate on a Fall tablescape would look charming. Thanks for the inspiration, my mind is at work on how to incorporate this idea into my schedule soon! What would you do with this pumpkin pincushion idea?"

"I would love to make this for my front door, but the squirrels would eat it, so I will have to find a place indoors to hang it. I love spice drops, so I'm not sure if five pounds would be enough for the wreath because I will be eating them as I go!"

"What a creative way to put together dollar store leaves and make such a beautiful display! Dollar stores can be goldmines when it comes to finding crafting materials. I like that this is simple to do, yet doesn't look like it. This might be my first autumn project this year."

"That would make a nice display for cards or anything else. I don't have plywood handy and won't buy a sheet just for this, so I wonder if a large piece of cardboard would be sturdy enough? I would probably paint it because cardboard isn't quite as presentable as wood, but I wonder if it would be sturdy enough."

"That's a great idea! I don't have a Sonoma Williams store close enough to take a look, but these knockoffs are beautiful! It should take no time at all to make up enough of these for our holiday dinner. Her instructions are clear and the photos make it easy to see at a glance what she did. I am definitely going to do this."

These will make a pretty accent to my flower garden. It's funny, but I am always picking up rocks and shells on my vacation (I collected rocks when I was a kid). I don't think I have any rocks large enough for this project, but I'll start looking. I love the look of those stencils and those blue paints.
