Harvest the Pumpkins

It is obviously not spring outside--there is snow on the ground and temperatures in the 20s as I write this. And Ridgewood is busy harvesting pumpkins.

Finishing Friday: Baseball!

Opening Day for the baseball season is in a few days so I thought I'd feature Donna's Fenway canvas, just back from the finisher. Isn't it cute?

Here's a Red Sox license plate. Bet they have those for all the teams.

My last piece of finishing isn't baseball related, but it IS round, so here it is--Katherine's New Orleans water meter ornament.  Isn't it cute?!
