DSs are 6 and 8 in their defence!

ConorMcGregorsChin · 29/10/2018 18:14

MyGast never thought of emoji's! Also love the vomiting one. Wondering if I can somehow place it outside without having to pick up bits of pumpkin vom from the driveway for weeks to come! Halloween Grin

I'm not very good at carving, so mine just says BOO!

OHolyNightOwl · 29/10/2018 18:28

I love all the pumpkins!

Halloween is so much fun and everyone around here go all out decorating the outside of their houses. We even got a window projector this year! Blush

ConorMcGregorsChin · 29/10/2018 18:32

Craving I like all of those. Been wondering how to do an easy skull. Thanks!

@HavelockVetinari - fucking hell, that's awesome.
DD 8y insisted on designing and carving her own, so we stuck to the classical two triangles up, one in the middle and pointy teeth. She's enormously proud of herself and that's what counts. I removed myself from the kitchen because I'm a perfectionist and a control freak and it would probably kill me to watch.

ConorMcGregorsChin · 29/10/2018 18:34

Jezz I think id get confused trying to do boo and just end up with a wobbly 'B' and two holes... Halloween Shock

I'll be laser engraving mine for the first time this year, so I'm really looking forward to the results, but not the smell 🤢.

So far I'm planning Hey Duggee and the squirrels for DS, I'm not sure on the other one yet, maybe a sugar skull.

ConorMcGregorsChin · 29/10/2018 18:38

Eerie that would be me. DD is 6 and I get all angsty when she hangs the baubles all wrong on the Christmas tree (To be fair, she loses interest after 20 minutes and doesn't take offence when I rearrange) Halloween Grin
Maybe the way ahead is just the classic triangles and grin though.

One of my favourites from past years. (No idea why it's posted on its side)
I also did a sugar skull but can't find the pics.

13th and Governorness They are brilliant! Love the moon and also now thinking cross shaped eyes would be a bit different.
Feel the need to go and get more pumpkins now. Haha. Too many food ideas!

OP posts:
ConorMcGregorsChin · 29/10/2018 18:54

Good ideas. Not food ideas 🙈
Although having said that, what do you do with the flesh? I hate pumpkin soup, but don't like to waste it.

elephantoverthehill · 29/10/2018 18:59

I would like to do this

ConorMcGregorsChin · 29/10/2018 19:12

Haha. Elephant I saw that on my local news today so guess you must be in my region (unless it's now been shown Nationwide)

HairyArmpits · 29/10/2018 19:24

Some of these are amazing!

Puts mine to shame- I am the least creative person I know and my seven year olds effort is better than mine!!!!

ConorMcGregorsChin · 29/10/2018 19:44

This is one of the weird buggers that's looking at me (spookily) right now.

Not mine (it was way messier!) but similar. If the letters are like a stencil, it works Smile

Oh Conor's Chin, I have pumpkin envy! You must carve it so it looks like the big one is eating the little one! Or like a troll with a giant nose! Or a cute bear! So many options.

geekone · 29/10/2018 20:30

Waaah @CravingRaven your Spider-Man puts ours to shame. I carved DS8 drew it freehand.
