Pumpkins!

I LOVE Halloween! dressing up, pumpkin pie and pumpkin carving!

A few years ago me and a friend of mine bought four pumpkins and a pumpkin carving tool kit and I have been hooked ever since! 

To make crazy designs and look like a pro it is really helpful to buy a pumpkin carving knife:

They sell these at supermarkets, drug stores, etc. They look flimsy but they are great at craving detailed designs and smooth corners. 

And there are so many examples and stencils out there it is easy to go wild!

Here are some of the pumpkins I have carved:
