I was looking after my grandson today, Halloween is almost upon us, so in preparation, I got a pumpkin from Aldi (only £1.49 for a decent sized one) got out my trusty carving kit and kept him amused for an hour, here is the result.

The pumpkin was designed purely with Sport Billy in mind. ;) so come on, I've shown you mine, it's now your turn to show me yours! :))
 
Wow that's fab! We had a pumpkin carving competition at school this week and some of them were fab! Someone even made theirs into a camper van (not very spooky I know!) but it was excellent! I love seeing people's creations! I never do one myself because it's my birthday on Halloween so I never bother :)
 
I love Halloween and your design highwayman is quite inspirational! I haven't carved mine yet but piccys will follow!
 
I'm only on my phone at the minute cos computer broke but I spent two hours last night doing pumpkins with my daughter and her friend.Cut small holes in and put black wool in to give it a,hairdo and a tache.Will put pics up when I have access to a computer
 
We're big Halloween fans in my house, and we've done our fair share of pumpkins over the past few year! Or should i say Dad has, he's so creative lol. I always have a competition with my friend and her family lol. Here are some :-)

I’m awful at pumpkin carving, i have some ... ‘interesting’ ideas but they just aren’t practical, i just start carving and half of it just falls off because i’ve cut something to thinly or i just didn’t think about how my pattern was going to actually connect to the rest of the pumpkin :)) it’s lovely to see how creative everyone else is though !
 
Speaking of pumpkins, do guinea pigs like to eat them?
 
I've got a pumpkin gonna be fun! Plus I wanna takes Pigtures! With the pumpkin :laluot_18::laluot_18:
 
Think after last years disaster, I'd be too embarrassed to go public :(
Painfully carved it out and the whole thing collapsed after an hour hissing and spitting at me...mallethead
 
We are carving our pumpkins tonight - I'm not very good at it either, so I'll be going for something simple... Some of these ones are amazing!
 
Luckily my pumpkin carving wasn’t as bad as last year, but i still have room for improvement, although it’s difficult when you only practice once a year haha. So heres our not so spooky, spooky moo cow!



And also, me and my boyfriend started a bit of a tradition of making a halloween cake every year, just because it’s an excuse to eat cake, but the problem this year was our icing started sliding of the cake, so most of the writing just stretched off and you couldn’t read it, anyways, here’s our spooky halloween cake, continuing the cow theme with vampire cow!
