Here are our favourite pumpkins

on Pinterest this month.

Great temptations

If kids say they aren’t ready for bed, then they clearly don’t have Samantha

Ushiro’s Pop-Tarts pillows as incentives to call it a day. These sweet

cushions are not only cute, they may well make parenting easier! Contact:

SPINNING WHEELS

“The purpose of my creative work and all the creations that I make

is to bring some colour into the world and a smile to someone’s face or

a moment of childlike amazement,” says crochet artist Ann Benoot. And

her bike covered in crochet in her front garden, sitting amongst a scattering

of large, single-stem, pompom flowers, does just that. Her home in rural

Belgium lies on a hiking route, so tourists are treated to some surprising

eye candy while on their travels. To see more of Ann’s work, visit
