Crazy Awesome Pumpkin Countdown Advent Calendar

It's a little bit late, but I just came across this amazing tutorial by Needles n' Knowledge.  I am blown away.

The drawers can all open up and store little trinkets and goodies!

You make it using the Silhouette Cameo paper cutting machine.  Maybe I should make this next year!  You should check out the other amazing tutorials on her blog.  They're incredible.

Have a happy week!

Poggy Does Not Love The Pumpkin

I thought Poggy might like to check out the new pumpkin. 

Poggy, what do you think?

I think he... wants to keep sleeping?

My little prickly pear took a while to warm up to the fact that he was beside a great pumpkin.

"Pumpkin what?"

Aha! Finally a face!

"So what is it you want?"

 There's a pumpkin, see!

"Uh huh..."

"... don't care."

Lol, I hope you are finding your Halloween much more interesting!

Halloween Pumpkin Quilt Carving

I've been obsessed with quilts lately (as you may have noticed).  So when it came to carving my Halloween pumpkin... well, it became a quilt.

I started off with a normal pumpkin.

 Well, it wasn't completely normal.  I like to pick the funny looking ones.

 I drew out the design with a pencil and pointed metal thing, and then I began to carve the design out.

 It wasn't easy.  I used a small paring knife and x-acto knife mostly.

 It has some issues since the image curves around the sides... but it looks great lit up!

  Here's my funny skeleton.

 A witch's hat.

 The notorious black cat.

 A pumpkin!  (on a pumpkin no less!)

 A bat!

 Now my pumpkin quilt sits brightly lit on my porch.

I hope you all have a happy Halloween time!
