The Great Pumpkin Project
Do you remember this?
I bought my pumpkin for Alyssa’s Crafty Challenge. Sometime before Oct 23rd (that’s next Thursday) post a project involving a pumpkin. So you better believe me and this pumpkin have a date this weekend.
Saturday night, the hubs and I had a very exciting evening ahead of us. We got Chipotle, rented Devil Wears Prada in blu ray (along with 300 for Cale, but of course that was not what we watched together), and I sat down with some black paint to decorate my white pumpkin. Somewhat inspired by my latest Better Homes and Gardens magazine I decided to just freehand some black swirls on my pumpkin. Super easy, not overwhelming, and done before I was even finished with my glass of wine.
So go and participate in Alyssa’s challenge! It’s fun and is a good way to finally do those projects you’ve been putting off.
Hope you all are having a good day. I will now go back into my coma. Last night I went to sleep with a bad migraine only to wake up and still have one! Not fair!

Poor Stephie. I’m so sorry about your headache, and I hope it goes away soon!
But your pumpkin is LOVELY. What a great, simple idea. I love it and may have to copy you somehow.
I got your comment, and yes– I am so so so excited and glad that you’ll be there on Friday. It just wouldn’t be the same if you couldn’t be there to celebrate too. Can’t wait to see you!

Sara McGinness says...
I love what you did with the pumpkin, very cool. I also noticed that you have an S and a C on the front of the pumkin is that for Steph Corwin or Steph and Cale? Either way if you want to tell me it was Steph and Cale cause Cale reads the blog I totally understand
Hope you are feeling better soon, migraine’s suck.
Steph says...
Sara,
Yesss that is an SC that I intentionally put on any and all designs I make. Could be either one huh.. Steph Corwin OR Steph and Cale. I guess I’ll just leave it a mystery…
Though it does look eerily similar to how I sign my initials, so I think you can imagine what I was thinking of when I painted it.
And I’m actually feeling much better now. I guess sleeping all day and taking a hot shower helped.

Girl, you are so talented! Very cute pumpkin!
Katie says...
I bought a white pumpkin this year just so I could paint it! It seems to be the thing this year because all of my home-type magazines had painted white pumpkins in them!
Yours turned out beautifully!
