I decided I didn't want to go the pattern route this year, I was kind of tired of it from the last several pattern years. So I decided to try out this design that I'd seen in pictures before: big pumpkin eating little pumpkin:
I couldn't put a candle in the little pumpkin so I just cut off the back 1/4th of it. It turned out pretty well I think.
Hanneke is still a pattern fan so she did a group of bats, a moon, and a bigger bat. She used a pattern for the little bats but she freehanded the big bat and the moon. Pretty nice freehanding work there, Hanneke! The edges are very clean on her carvings, the picture below is just blurry:
Here are most of the pumpkins together. The pirate is Timmy and Alex's pumpkin, the circles and squares pumpkins are Kristina's and the little one in the top middle is Hanneke's (and Obama is of course Hanneke's). Lyyli and Scott carved a ghost but had to leave before we took this picture. Hanneke hadn't finished her bats yet and I hadn't finished a white gourd I carved into a ghost either (perhaps a picture of that later).
It was a fun night. We wish you could have stuck around for it, mom (and I bet you do too)!
