Did you take the pictures outside at night???

Nope - in my kitchen - no flash though!!!

We actually have rain mixed with SNOW out there tonight!

Karen - that doesn't even look upside down! You did a great job for your first stab at it! Did you have fun doing this or were you cursing wondering why I ever mentioned it in the first place ?


I was a busy bee today - I only got one carved. Five more to go

DazeeMazee - Cute kitty! The pic is so small - what is the other one of?

Love the new ones!

That looks great! Can't wait to see the others!

I started cursing you when the saw that came with the kit broke. It didn't help that the pumpkin that I carved the cat into wasn't a "carving pumpkin". BIG mistake. By the end I had a big knife in my hand and looked liek Jack the Ripper!

Did some of you use stencils or was that just freehand work?. I'm going to carve mine tonight and I'm looking for inspiration!

Smashing Pumpkins. This thread got me thinking that I should really go back to carving pumpkins; yours all look so good. My father-in-law brought some big whitish ones back from Eastern Europe, and I asked him for one this afternoon. Dummy me didn't put the pumpkin down when I was unlocking the front door, and I dropped it. Have you ever seen what granite steps do to pumpkins?

Mine were stencils! It was the first time I ever used them.

O.K. - Six hours later today . Here are the other five. If I didn't mention it before, I decided to to all skulls this year. Kind of ghoulish, but different for me. Sorry they are blurry.

OOOHHH, Chris, they're great! Appropriately creepy! Better watch that nobody steals them. And what have you done with the pumpkin "meat"?

Tricia -

I roasted the seeds. The guts went bye-bye. Do they celebrate Halloween in Germany?
