winggleam studios: halloween

Or do we even bother in getting a pumpkin for Halloween this year? Looking back at the "pumpkin shots" from previous Halloween's , we really don't go all out since we live in flats and don't have either of the places where pumpkins often work best - a porch or a garden. When I was growing up we used to carve the pumpkins, putting a candle in it and sticking it outside - like everyone else...

We did try the year before last to have a pumpkin indoors - but the smell of pumpkin is a bit much in a small flat.

Instead of a real pumpkin we'll probably have a go at some alternative ideas like papier mâch é, fabric or even bring these babies back out...

If I do decide to carve maybe do these?

I love going to Martha Stewart for last minute ideas...

This Halloween we decided to have another couple over for a little spook-fest... we had treats... a quiz and watched a not so scary movie (Prom Night 1980) it was a very fun evening!

I really enjoyed decorating the flat.... we even brought in a pumpkin... very Martha, no? It only took me 15 mins for me to do... I will definately do this again next year...

Actually I did a lot of Martha Halloween decorum this year (time was a factor this year... I bought some plastic skulls that I spray painted black then covered in glitter..
