Once again I have been working like a dog, but in my absence MrsHippy as been busy doing the pumpkins for Halloween.
She's rather creative, don't you think?

Tam did find the perfect one for that, but she could be arsed to buy it (let alone get it home on the bike!). I see you found the page we got the pics from Smile

TiN, we aren't really Star Wars fans, but they do make a change from the boring faces. If you look at the link, you will see some of the other ones are more 'traditional'.

They look well cool. Bet they took ages to do, but mrshippy's time has paid off. Laughing

You could start selling them next year Smile

WOW!!

We carved a Pumpkin, but it got blown up by the lads who decided it was funny to put a selection of lit fireworks in it. Sad

They are actually quite easy to do.
Firstly you either make or find a template (last year we did our own, this year we got them from https://www.andrewgruner.com/sw/pumpkins/). Then print the template out and very carefully transpose the picture onto the pumpkin.
The Yoda and Darth Maul took about a hour each, the Boba Fett took nearly two hours.
So, next year we are gonna try and do a motorbike one, maybe a forum competition could ensue Very Happy
