My First Pumpkin

The kitchen staff (so that includes me ) at work were offered 2 free pints to carve a pumpkin for Halloween.

Never having carved one before I didn’t know what to do so had a thought and came up with this idea and quickly mocked it up on the computer just before I had to leave:

I didn’t know where to start carving so after copying my design roughly onto the pumpkin I started with the person first.

I think it turned out reasonably well for my first one, and it was definitely worth the free pints :).

Happy Halloween.

That looks really nice! Good thing you don’t have to carve pumpkins in Finland, I wouldn’t be able to anything close to that.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

WOW! That’s really good! I think carving pumpkins is hard and I do whatever I can to get out of it. You did a nice job and deserve those pints.
