Things that deserve the stink-eye:

A pumpkin-spider-crab, aka "Gourd." 🤣
This year Halloween felt free and I was a bit inspired by the cheery nonsense so I thought, let's give those trick or treaters pumpkin to talk about. 🎶

I'd rate my creation 8 tenths adorable and...maybe 2 tenths nightmare? One kid called it cute, another assessed it as...eww. 🤣

  1. So ... you are creative as well as being an intellectual. It might be too much for me to handle. 😜

  2. Your carrot crab is amazing and inventive. How did you connect the joints?

    First time I've ever seen one. Really well done. Love putting things together in novel ways

    1. I made small holes in the pumpkin and stuck the carrots into them. The carrot segments are joined by heavy-duty toothpicks.

    2. Codex: Heavy duty toothpicks? Do you own an elephant?

      I guessed wire.

  3. I loved Halloween when I was a kid, enjoyed it when my kids were kids, and now I kind of wish it would all just go away. But I love your Gourd - very creative!

    1. I relate to your perspective but I'm trying to resist that get-off-my-lawn feeling ha.

  4. Love it. Might modify and steal the idea for next year's mandatory 'here's your pumpkin and here's your deadline' BS my company makes us do. One of the only things I really hate about working for them, lol.

  5. Farmbeau has a glut of pumpkins and carrots. I shall show him your creation. Cute.

  6. I rarely carve pumpkins because it feels like too much work, plus the mess, but THIS is something I could get behind. Addition instead of subtraction? Sign me up! Well done.
