Pumpkin Carving

Ok, so if you've been reading my blog, you may have gotten the impression that I tend to go a bit over the top in the ambition department when it comes to something new. I'm the person who would (and potentially has) decided that she is going to get into gardening after never having done it, and go out and buy a greenhouse and all sorts of equipment. No starting small over here! It's not so much that I have a great opinion of my abilities as that I am extremely impatient.

And so it goes with pumpkin carving. Why make a standard jack-o-lantern in an hour with tools I have at home when I can spend a ridiculous amount of time attempting to make a masterpiece? So I got a cute little rechargeable Dremel with various tips, some pumpkins, and a couple stencils, and set to it.
This one is a tribute to a friendly puggle that will be be visiting for Halloween.
And this just looked cool :)
Overall, pretty happy with the results, but not sure if I'll do it again next year. It's a lot of work!
