Homemade Pumpkin Frozen Yogurt

1 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt, strained

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Mix everything together in a large mixing bowl until completely combined. Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker for a few minutes until it is a smooth, cool consistency. Alternatively, place the bowl in the freezer and stir mixture every half hour until it reaches desired consistency.

Have fun with it!

The Pumpkin Patch.

For those of us living in the southern hemisphere and approaching Halloween as Spring unfurls her petals, it is refreshing to find a few pumpkin ideas that will enhance and complement our Vintage and fresh Spring decorating ideas.

 These beauties were posted on Poppytalk recently and made my heart sing!

They are from Country Living Magazine October 2011 

and are also posted on Babble, for whom Jan from Poppytalk also writes.

And although we're not really into the Trick or Treating tradition here in Oz, 

how much fun are these two for a doorstep?!

Easier than carving out the flesh, methinks, and more kid-friendly too. 

They have my time-saving thumbs-up.
