If at first you don't succeed....make something else!!!

Happy Friday friends!!

So a couple of days ago when I shared our front porch fall decor with you, I said I was going to make one of those fabulous toile pumpkins from CL magazine....Well, I tried, and tried and it wasn't working out so well....(very disappointed)...anyway, if at first you don't succeed, drink wine!!...only kidding...try something else....I ended up covering the fake pumpkin or (funkin) with twine....lots and lots of strands of twine....and this is how it turned out...not my beautiful toile pumpkin I was hoping for....maybe next year...

Little Miss beach to burbs helping out with what was supposed to be our gorgeous toile pumpkin!! 

so far so good....we thought....

Houston, we have a problem!!!....the toile paper was not blending with the funkin the way it did in CL...I got frustrated and started trying to rip it off to start over...and then decided to go with a completely different approach...lol

twine and hot glue

Here she is in all her pumpkin twine glory....
a little drop cloth, a few baby pinecones & some bittersweet...
