Painting Pumpkins

I was going to have tons of posts for Halloween but using my phone to take pictures stinks.
Anyway here are some pumpkins we painted last night.  Look at the one with a bloody knife stuck in it.  That's my daughter's.  Her Halloween training is coming along nicely.  We like a nice blend of cute and creepy around here.

In The Doghouse

Well my computer has bitten the dust-again.  I was practicing using the camera on my phone since I have nothing to upload new pictures to.  I took a picture outside on my patio table.  It seemed okay.  I went inside after I emailed it to myself to check the picture on the ipad.  It looked okay.  Too bad for me I left this cute guy outside with my two dogs, Rotten and Rottener.

I returned a minute later and this was all that was left.

RIP cute pumpkin lantern.

This Really Works

I saw a tip on pinterest that said to soak paintbrushes that have dried acrylic paint on them in Murphy Oil Soap for 24 hours.  I have quite a few brushes around that needed this treatment- you know how you get in a hurry and forget to clean your brushes.

Now some needed an extra couple of days and some came off after two, depends on the paint I guess and maybe how long its been dried on there.  If it doesn't come off just keep soaking them.

I Love This TiP!

Witch Hat Swap Spoiler alert Sandy, look away now

Oh yeah its almost Halloween, sorta. And I was in a witches' hat swap.  My partner was Sandy and this is the darling hat she made me.  It has plenty of vintage details and a really kool black glittered skeleton.  I love those things.

 

I don't have a picture yet but the hat is sitting on a silver glittered skull.

And here is the hat I made her.
