A little pupkin with a hand painted kitty cat on it !A BOO Pumpkin!Just a typical Jack-O-Lantern.Okay I know that a Daisy isn't very halloweenish but, I couldn't help painting one on this little pumpkin !Check out the evil eyebrows on this guy!

 This year I'm going back to my roots and dressing like a Catohic School Girl.

The costume version of me was made with the Cartoon Doll maker and Violet's witch costume came from the mousepad.

This very cool watercolor backdrop is from my good friend, Brownielocks site!

Daisy's Pumpkin Patch!

Here's a few tips for general carving & care.

Why not try using an ice cream scoop to scoop out your pumpkin this year? It's larger & you can get more stuff out that way.

 To make your pumpkin last longer, apply a light coating of petroleum jelly on the cuts. It will seal the wound and the pumpkin will last longer. After carving, place the pumpkin in a cool, dark place. It will spoil quickly if left at room temperature and will attract fruit flies.

Parents should supervise the cutting of the pumpkin. Also for a safe alternative to candles, try a glowstick. They illuminate the pumpkin wonderfully & there's no worrying about the candle flame going out or the general dangers of fire!

For something different this year, why not make a pumpkin planter ? Here's the easy steps to turn your pumpkin into a lovely autumn planter!

  1. Pick a fairly large pumpkin. Should be about double the pot size you'll be using for the inside.

  2. Cut stem & trace a 4-10"  plastic pot on the top of the pumpkin with a marker.

  3. Cut the top by tracing the markings with a knife & clean the inside out like you'd normally do. Don't forget to save the seeds for eating or planting.

  4. Insert pot.

  5. Add soil & plant. A mum would probably look the best in your new fall planter :-)!
