della’s polka dot pumpkin tutorial

She grew it.

She picked it.

She cut and cleaned it.

She toasted the seeds.

She drilled it better than Bob Villa.

She gave the cat a lobotomy.





And like a good little blogger, she photographed the final product.

I love this grainy shot.

The first polka dot pumpkin of the season has made it’s debut. There will be more to follow. I helped Lew’s class make a big one last year and he wants to do it again. It’s my preferred method....quick and easy.

Hooray for power tools and Halloween!

  6. Oooh, I like the polka dot motif. I think I will copy Della for our Jack-O-Lantern this year. Also, I didn't know this until recently, but...if you are going to roast the pumpkin seeds, they turn out so much better & crunchier if you boil them in heavily salted water for 10 minutes before you roast them. They get nice and crispy!
