You’ve come to the right place if you need a small applique Santa hat. Here are some other patterns from my monthly baby photo series: Crochet PumpkinsCrochet Fall Leaves This post…

    How to Roast a Pumpkin-It’s Easier than You Think

    November 18, 2024 / No Comments

    There’s something special about roasting your own pumpkins in the fall! Sure, it takes a little longer than buying pumpkin puree but it’s totally worth it to buy local or use a pumpkin that you grew! My pumpkin plants didn’t do very well this year so I bought a few from a local farmer. I roasted two sugar pumpkins and then made a pie with pumpkin puree to spare. One of the best things about How to Roast a Pumpkin is that it requires very little prep—just wash, cut, season, and pop it in the oven. This post contains affiliate links.
