Aaaaah Halloween is just days away! Last night, Dave and I spent a few hours carving the pumpkin and hanging decorations! OK, actually, I drew on the pumpkin and Dave carved it while I hung decorations. We try to keep me and sharp knives away from each other, if possible, because I am what you might call “accident prone.”
Dave is getting really awesome at carving! Check out our Cat-o-Lantern:
The plan this year was to have all handmade decorations along with a ton of gourds great and small, and things are coming along so well! I think my favorite decoration so far was also the simplest. Behold: BAT LAMP:
I just cut out a bunch of little bats from an empty six pack box and used roleld up masking tape to stick them inside the lamp shade. Voila! Double sided tape might have been a better choice, but we didn’t have any and the masking tape is fine by me.
If there’s extra time, I miiigggghhttt make some more of this spooky bunting. I’m really digging the look of it, and it’s so simple and fun to make!
Needless to say, I can’t wait to finish getting the house set up for our Halloween party and sort out my costume! Bonus: one of my oldest and best friends, Sam, is coming to town to celebrate with us this weekend! It’s going to be the best. Halloween. EVER.
