Jack O Lantern

Posted on by miss m

Thursday, I went up to Mom’s house and carved a pumpkin for her. She has rheumatoid arthritis in her hands so she can’t do the carving anymore. It’s been awhile since I’ve carved a real one – I used to carve the foam ones with Love and Rand in the past a lot so we could save them and reuse them – so it was fun to go back to a more messy, classic version.

It all starts with the top.
I just free-formed a more traditional design on the pumpkin and started carving away.
Mom’s dog, Kylie, is trying to “help” with the process.
Mom’s finished pumpkin! (The little plush is my newest “little visitor” from a swap on Craftster.)

It was fun and messy work. I think it came out cute.

  1. It turned out great! It is lovely for you to do that for your Mom. I’m happy to see you carving pumpkins again – I know how difficult that must be for you with all the wonderful memories you have of doing this with Rand. You have a real talent for it and I’m glad to see you back at it again! Best wishes and I hope you have a happy and safe Halloween!
