The last of the Halloween decor posts (for now)


So here are the paper mache pumpkins my husband ( I helped a little!) made for this year. This is Frankenpumpkin. He was pieced together from a bunch of different gourds to frighten and delight.


Here is a detail. My husband used bits of twine pressed into the paper clay to make the stitches. Yes that is a piece of watermelon. You use what you have when making a monster.


This is Mr. Longnose. My husband was inspired by the carrot nosed pumpkins that Martha makes.


I love his teeth.


This is our Day of the Dead pumpkin. Fun.






While trolling for Halloween sales, I found these ice cube molds that I just love!





Happy Halloween! 
Happy Haunting! 
Happy Trick Or Treating!

Ahh, I have those very ice cube trays! Just one of those little things that can magically make any day a little better.
