claire and i had our little craft time today with tons of glitter and mini pumpkins. i have to say claire wasn’t much help. she just laid back and chilled while i worked away! i’m not really sure how successful this project was. by the end my entire kitchen table was covered in glitter (my a/c must have caused some sort of glitter drift) and the pumpkins ended up looking so-so. i need to email jaimee rose and ask her how in the heck you glitter them since it’s nearly impossible to pick them up after you slather them in glue. it gets all smeary and sticky but i tried my best.  here’s the results.

oh how i adore martha stewart. is there anything she can’t do in the most perfect mary poppins way? one of my biggest dreams is to convince her to be my mentor and start my own hipster homemaker empire. except instead of button down shirts everyday, i’d wear flirty retro dresses from anthropologie and chie mihara heels. a girl can dream, right?

anyway, one of her most genius ideas is glittered pumpkins. jaimee rose over at the az republic has already gone glitter crazy for two years in a row and i am joining the club. i plan on buying a few little pumpkins in white and orange, then head over to michaels to get some of martha’s glitter glue and glitters and having my own little craft day with claire. it will be a nice distraction from her upcoming ct scan, neurosugeon and neurologist appointments on wednesday. plus it will usher in october at our house and i am all about creating an autumn atmosphere in our hot weather. i’ll post pics of the fun tomorrow!
