.It's not one bit difficult: draw an outline of a cat, draw a circle around it, and cut the space between the cat and the circle. Add a candle inside, wait until dark, & light a match.

This humble halloween instruction is dedicated to Robin, who should have carved this very pumpkin if only she had not become so obsessed with making cupcakes at midnight; Marie Segal, who is the #1 teacher in the universe of step-by-step directions; Prudie1 just because she so loves Halloween; and Mr. Ryan and Baby Mr. Drew, with whom this pumpkin has taken residence.

Happy Happy Halloween!
Wow what a perfect pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Sjimmie on that last picture!
Bought Felix a carving set in Chicago but I forgot to buy a pumpkin (here) ......
Happy Halloween dear!

I love it! We have not carved ours yet, and now I can't wait for day to show this idea to my husband. Thank you, dear KJ.
ReplyDeleteWow!I will definitely try this one...
ReplyDeletepie! Send pie!
ReplyDeleteAnd to you too hunny *kissez*
ReplyDeletelove it
ReplyDeleteWow! I love it. I will see if I can talk my cat-adoring son into making this with me. Happy Halloween, prudie2! Eat lots of candy! xox Pam
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the pumpkin, Pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteI get completely grossed out touching the inner slime. I hate it.
And I don't like Halloween. Go figure! I think I'll turn all my lights out, close the curtains and go upstairs.
Oh wait. I already bought the little beggers some candy! I guess I'll be a nice hostess.
I won't be responsible if Emma takes any nibbles out of ankles and toes though.
BWAAAAAAhahahahahahah!

Lovely pumpkin...can you come and do mine? Heh heh! It's Hallowe'en today and still I haven't carved it. Your idea looks great!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Hallowe'en, dear kj!!
That is a wonderful pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween! And to Stella and JB too. xoxo
no pumpkins down here! but this is a poem of a carving
ReplyDeleteeveryone, it's silly to say thank you and try it repeatedly, so i will just say thank you and try it collectively.
ReplyDeleteif you do carve away, use a little knife with a pointed edge and carve off the pieces in chunks instead of trying to push out a whole side, for example. this is true esp. around that little windy tail!
ps. you can do a witch just as easily. circle for body, circle for head, hat on head, maybe a broom on one side of her. just as nifty.

What a "GREAT" PUMPKIN! Thank you for the 'dedication" and...the pumpkin carving lesson... (sorry I was so "OBSESSED" with my midnight cupcakes.... but give me some pink icing and I just go CRAZY!
ReplyDeleteI am going to keep your instructions and try this next year... (I have only bought tiny pumpkins this year...good for one of the cat's ears only!)
What a warm, loving post.... thin king of you and yours!
Boo! And Bwaaahahaaaaaa!!!

Your pumpkin is awesome. I shall send these instructions to my daughter so she can make this for her kids! They would love it.
ReplyDeleteI guess grandma could do it too. I have them here next weekend.

The first pix OMG never knew that a pumpkin could look so beautiful and mysterious. Nice blog!
ReplyDeleteIt is a one eyed purple slime monster, probably a witches experiment gone bad. ;-D
ReplyDeletePurrfect...love the glow! I hid out at friends for dinner and missed the T and T
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get around to carving pumpkins this year so my son is shooting at them with an air cannon he built!
