Harvest Day!

Well, today (not the best day as it was nice and cold, rainy and WINDY) I harvested some of my last pumpkins.  About three still growing.

My bounty. Some of them have a few defects.




Then I became a bit overwhelmed!!  What to do with all these pumpkins?   Truthfully, I don't like carving pumpkins.  Some years I'm all about it, others, not so much.  Just messiness really.  But the seeds are fantastic.  Hmm, maybe I'll carve one up tomorrow.

So, Allie and I picked a few of our favorites and hit my nook and had a pumpkin party!  This is what I came up with.

All three together

All three finished






And.....  Drum Roll please!!  

The closeups!!!

Funky lil pumkin'!!!

My favorite

The silver paint was a bit wet, so the glitter stuck in the wrong places, but.  May turn this into Rella's carriage.  Hmm?!?!


So...  Fun stuff, fun stuff!
