Pumpkin Time!

Andrew and I had a quick outing (a.k.a. needed dogfood) to Wal-Mart a couple of weeks ago, and I couldn't help but to browse the gourds and pumpkins. The gourds are my favorites... so many different colors and shapes and sizes! Thinking back to the snow-family I made during March, I couldn't resist picking out some smaller pumpkins to make a little pumpkin family. Of course, upon completion, I sent a picture to my sister titled "The Ray Family Pumpkins." And she cleverly replied back, "The Rumpkins!" Gah, love her!



The Original Rumpkins: Andrew, Chelsea, Copper, Penny and Kitty Bug.



I made these Rumpkins for my sis-in-laws, Mara and Anna, and Mara's kitten, Roger... but, alas! They didn't make it down to Statesboro like I planned, so now they are decorating my front stoop.


Our Big Rumpkin... took forever, but I love it!


The Big Rumpkin all lit up.


Our front stoop... if only Kitty Bug would pose in front of the hay bale for me!

  1. I'm crazy about these!!! I especially love Copper Bud's with the ribbon down each seam in the pumpkin.

    I've been eyeing the white miniature pumpkins at our WalMart for a few weeks now... maybe it's time to decorate already!

  2. You mean Kitty Bug's? Copper's is the one with the flopped up ears.

    Get some pumpkins! Get 'em!
