PUMPKINS! Is it too early for fall???

 I love pumpkins, they're so representative of the fall season, as well as just a playful and a varied fruit. They actually fall into the same family as melons and cucumbers. 

You can get tiny ones, large ones, you can decorate them, smash them, paint them, bake them, steam them and can them so many fun things to do with pumpkins.. Most of the pumpkin is edible.  

No matter their legends or uses; pumpkins ALWAYS remind me of fall and are a nostalgic memory trigger for my childhood.  How many of you have the same memory trigger?

What has everyone been doing with the world imploding????

So what has everyone been doing as the world explodes?

Me, I've been playing ostrich a little and ignoring it as much as the new channels allows me to.. It's hard to ignore when your husband enjoys watching news, but thats ok.  So what have I been doing???? Learning, creating, and trying to ease my anxiety and depression...

Sooo, I purchased a bunch of new glass fusion molds from American Glass. 

And I've made some and have become OBSESSED with these molds. I purchased a bunch of frit, that being said I'm gonna need more.. 

So these are a few pics of the out of the kiln pieces, I need to add the hardware and than they'll be added to my Etsy Shop. 

I've also taken a bunch of Curious Mondo classes online.. Curious Mondo (www.curiousmondo.com) is so cool, its free to watch the live broadcast but if you want to watch it anytime and get the bonus material you pay for the class... I think I've bought 5 or 6 classes during quarintine. 

So here's a few pictures of what I've made from what I've learned from the Curious Mondo class.

Some of these are already in my shop; www.etsy.com/shop/threefatesfiber..

So here's what I've been up to, I'll tell more stories later..
