Pumpkins for Samhain
Martha Stewart has some lovely pumpkin ideas for Samhain / Halloween. Here are three of my favorites for fellow Druids.
Every year my husband and I make traditional turnip jack-o-lanterns. The Irish really made these, so I feel a special connection to my ancient ancestors when I do this craft. Get some pointers here. These are believed to help scare away some of the more nasty spirits taking advantage of the parted veil. There is also a possibility that they are a carryover from head hunting.

Finally, some toadstool pumpkins! How adorable and whimsical are they?! I also love the swirl pattern on the wee pumpkin guard in front of the biggest shroom. More tips for this project can be found here.

Such cute ideas. I love the mushroom pumpkins. Thanks for sharing them. I've made turnip and rutabaga jack o lanterns before, but not since the kids have been born. Pumpkins are just so much easier!
ReplyDeleteThey are easier. If we ever have children, I probably wouldn't let them carve a turnip until they were bigger and had more coordination...
