I was meant to go to a pumpkin party on Friday but my ovaries were at war with the rest of my body so I was stuck in bed with a hot water bottle.
Instead - I decided today was the day!
I chose the best pumpkin at Whole Foods! His name is Harry. Reader, meet Harry.
For the carving I had no idea where to start so I skyped my Mum and she gave me advice. Her carving knowledge is limited to American movies and Pinterest. So basically it was the blind leading the blind.
I got a carving set from Whole Foods which was excellent till I broke the little sword carver thingy.
I decided to make a kitty cat pumpkin. Cos you know, why not? And I was wearing a cat t shirt so it seemed appropriate.
Mama and I chatted as I chopped, gutted and carved my pumpkin into submission. And eventually, with much worry and doubt along the pumpkin carving road, a kitty emerged from the orange mess that was Harry.
Success!
Well, kind of. I think it is kind of distinguishable as a cat, if not a cat, then a critter of some sort.
Yay! This pumpkin thing is fun.
And note to self - I should have got matches for Harry's candle.
A job well done! I cheat and use those kits from the grocery store.
