I was super excited last summer when we had a few volunteer pumpkins come up. I love decorating with pumpkins in the fall & homegrown pumpkins are the best!
I was then super disappointed when the pumpkin vines died early on & never produced a single pumpkin!
I know it's early, but I'm determined to grow pumpkins next year!
I'm always looking ahead & planning for next year's garden. Adding to the excitement is that Burpee released their 2022 catalog already!
We're back again this year with the pumpkin carving! (Here's a peek at last year's pumpkins!) We had a lot of fun again this year carving pumpkins.
I even carved my own pumpkin this year! We received some pumpkin carving supplies at a trunk or treat we went to & I could totally tell the difference with carving! We normally just use knives & they are so difficult for me to cut with. Having the right supplies helped me out so much. (If you're still in need of supplies, I wrote a blog post with all my Amazon picks for carving!) I also chose a small pumpkin so my carving was super easy!
Our kiddo drew out his design & my mom cut it out for him again this year. My mom managed to get her own pumpkin carved out this year. She missed out on carving last year because she was carving our kiddo's pumpkin.
Welcome to On the Creek: a digital scrapbook of grief, growth, glue guns, and girlhood unhinged.
I’m Tiff, a widowed weirdo turned emotionally feral homemaker. Around here, we mix healing with home projects, delulu with DIY, and grief with gut-laughs. It’s part homestead therapy, part thrifting haul, part soul purge.
This blog is where I turn chaos into cozy corners, trauma into thrift flips, and everyday life into something worth pinning (or crying about in your journal).
Come for the vibes. Stay for the oversharing.
