Countdown to Halloween - Pumpkin Friday

I love Jack-O-Lanterns. I Love love love them! So every Friday until Halloween I will be showing off my past pumpkins!

This year I decided that instead of buying a book or dowloading a pattern that I would just freehand my designs. I think I was just being lazy... Anyone who has taped a pattern to a pumpkin, poked holes in it and then cut out the shapes in a dot to dot type fashion understands how it is a royal pain. Worth it but still annoying. I looked online for designs that were siple enough that I could easily replicate them and I am pretty happy with the results. I also painted pumpkins for the first time this year. I saw a photo of white pumpkins painted with only simple black paint and I had to make my own. I really loved them. They look so classy. So not really me (Haha!) but still fun.

Past Costumes - Sugar Skulls

You don't know how much you touch your face until you can't touch it anymore. Haha! But seriously, this was such a fun makeup (and it turns out I scratch my nose a lot. Don't ask my why it's so itchy. I don't know). I crocheted the hatter hat with spider web veil. If you'd like to make your own, you can check out my post about it from my crochet blog and find links to the pattern HERE. My Bestie made her own flower crown with fake flowers. I think she hot glued them to a headband. It looked amazing! My only issue with this makeup is that you can't smile. I mean it. When you show your real teeth in a makeup that includes drawn on teeth, it looks super weird. So we had to be super serious in all our photos :)
