I originally wanted to carve this:
Yes, that's Edward Cullen :) Jace said if that pumpkin ended up outside on our porch, he'd smash it :) So, I decided I'd try this:
A scary toothfairy... very fitting I'd say :) So, I got to work...
After gutting my pumpkin and taping the pattern on, I began punching the holes. After all the holes were punched, I removed the pattern, ready to start cutting! Much to my disappointment, all that I could see were a bunch of tiny holes randomly marking up my pumpkin... I could not make out the pattern AT ALL. After a little whining and an angry scream, I ended up with this:
It's no scary toothfairy and definitely NOT Edward Cullen, but I'm pretty proud of my free hand work :) Next year, I'll try a much easier pattern.

How did it turn out? Where did you find the pattern? I need to find some cool patterns or something for ours. We just usually draw on a traditional face. So boring sometimes!
I totally want to do Edward!!!
Carve him in a pumpkin that is!
Okay, so now that you've finished your post, I must say your pumpkin is super cute. Those are the kinds of pumpkins we carve around these parts.
Oh man I'm laughing so hard at your sister's comments!!!
That Edward is way awesome, I wish I'd done him too! (carve him that is...) hehe Yours turned out waay cute. Very Noell!! :)
You need two copies of your pattern so that you have one to look at to make sense of all the holes you punched. It's really tricky and I'm horrible at it, so I opt to cut out the pattern with an exacto knife when I do elaborate patterns (or I just opt out all together, and leave the carving to Jason--which lands me in the job of cleaning out all the pumpkins).
Totally cute anyway!! We have had our pumpkin sitting on our table for 2 weeks waiting to be carved.. maybe friday night :) poor Gavin... we've just been too busy!
