Thyme for some outdoor FALL THYME painting, decorating and planting

DO NOT PIN MY PHOTOS TO PINTEREST
Even though our 

Cape Cod home

is undergoing some extensive renovations right now

 I decided to do a little 

FALL THYME

decorating

My hubs cut me out a large pumpkin bench using my

SITTING IN THE PUMPKIN PATCH
design

you can find the pattern for this bench
at
Painting Thyme Needfuls

HERE

I first painted the bench BLACK using an outdoor stain for a

PRIM LOOK

I them painted the

 PUMPKIN

part of the bench using an orange tinted stain

I let some of the black show through for a prim look

I made a grapevine wreath that I attached around my window

I added white lights

I switch out different vines for every season

that I attach to the grapevine wreath around the window

I took this ironing board that I painted for

Painting With Friends

to the Cape

The design is called

Autumn Harvest
It was designed by
Terrye French
and
painted by me
You can purchase the pattern
HERE

I stood the ironing board on the porch by my back door

I also did some fall thyme yard work and decorating

I trimmed back all my hydrangea bushes at my other house and brought them to the Cape

I just stick the "cuttings" in the ground to make new bushes

I usually remove the leaves and flower heads

I was able to make 20 new bushes from the "cuttings"

I planted the "cuttings" all along the grass line

so

the bushes should be beautiful there come next year

I added mums and kale plants to my window boxes and around the yard

My studio window

This is a new birdhouse that I hope to put on a tall pole in the garden

I have picked the last of the veggies in the garden

I just love the 

FALL THYME

Clematis vine growing on the garden fence

it hides the not so attractive veggie garden at this

thyme of year!

This vine is called

SWEET AUTUMN

and

it certainly lives up to its name

with

its wonderful sweet fragrance !

I just sooooooo enjoy this wonderful thyme of year in

New England!

Hugs,

Lynn

a

HALLOWEEN POEM

thats

frightful.........

Bushes quiver
where shadows lean,
and not a sliver
of moon is seen.
Near the river
some goblins (green)
with a witch in front
and a ghost in between
Make me sh..i..vvvver,
but I am keen
about the shivers
of Halloween.

 Have been wondering where I have been ?

Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkin shape bench that I designed and painted!

SITTING IN THE PUMPKIN PATCH

It looks like there is going to be a GREAT crop of

PUMPKINS

this year!

small prim

PUMPKINS

LARGE PRIM

PUMPKINS

PUMPKINS

in all

ShApeS and SiZeS

Garden stakes!

Even the

CROWS

I love painting and decorating for

Fall!

~I would rather sit alone on a pumpkin than crowded on a velvet cushion

I'm glad to be back into painting full time again

after my 3 week trip to Italy

and

the not so perfect trip home

as I described in my last post

HERE

I've been at the Cape

and

I'm loving my new studio

Why don't you step inside for a peek !

Its bright and cheery

and

there is plenty of room to spread out and create!

I have been busy designing new things for summer

and

also painting some old favorites!

Here is a

Large Primitive Pineapple Door Box

 I designed

It measures about 36" tall

Well.........

back to the brushes for me

I'm thinking

Red, White and Blue paint next!

Hugs,

Lynn

Something to crow about!

Now that SPRING has finally
arrived in
New England
( I think!)
I have started painting and designing some
Yard and Garden Needfuls
I just LOVE CROWS!
This is a large

Ole Crow 

that I have I designed

He measures 31" tall

This Ole Crow
would look great on a door, fence, porch etc.
He has a grungy tag that says
Olde Crow
tied around his neck

 

This is a fence post crow that I have designed

he comes with a dowel

so just drill a hole in the top of your post for him!

Here is a large Garden Crow

that I have designed and painted

I added a rusty tin star to the crows mouth

He looks wonderful standing in your garden.

 Happy Painting!

"Each day is a new canvas to paint upon. 

Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, and at the end of the day you don't look at it 

and 

wish you had painted something different."
