Garlic Ghost Pumpkins ~ Have I Flipped?

I'm not sure but I think I may have officially FLIPPED!

 Hubby seems to think so!

 

I have spent all this past week making all the pumpkins

that I had planned on making for the last two years and

never got around to doing them. I was just plain and down

out right determined I was going to do them this year come

heck or high water!

 

I have made sweater pumpkins, chenille pumpkins, cotton

checked pumpkins, drop cloth pumpkins using rolls of

tolit paper, and even collected some palm nuts I found out

in the yard that are orange and look like tiny pumpkins! I

added those to a couple of decorations I made for Fall.

Oh...and pumpkins made of t-shirts!

 

I've made them in a couple of different ways and still have

a few to go and then I think I'm done....maybe! It seems

everything I look at could be a pumpkin! But by golly this

year, I am finally accomplishing what I have wanted to

try and do and am getting them off my list and mind once

and for all! I feel much better now that that task is done!

Well I'm almost done!

 

But I think I am on pumpkin overload! I go to the store

to pick up a few things I needed, and on my list was some

garlic. I get home and am putting away the groceries and

as I turn around I spy my bag of garlic. I take them out of

the bag, set the three bulbs on the counter and my phone

rings. After the call I proceed to finish putting away the

rest of the groceries and go to pick up the bulbs of garlic

to put in the veggie crisper and what do you suppose I see?

 

Pumpkins! I see my bulbs of garlic as Pumpkins!

 

Well of course I had to do it! I got out my black and white

craft paints, and some twine to make three little bows. In

my wacked out mind, the tops of the garlic bulbs have now

become hair and in need of a bow. I painted eyes on each

of the bulbs, and mouths, glued on the bows with my glue

gun and then what do you suppose I see. GHOST'S!

So now I got three cute little Garlic Pumpkin Ghost's!

 

 

Thinking they were so cute I took them into my hubby's

office here at home to show him my new creations. Guess

what he does? He starts dying laughing! When he finishes

he suggests I get the thermometer so he can take my temp.

Then he starts laughing again! After a few seconds I asked

if he was done, he said yes and starts laughing again!

 

So I go back downstairs thinking to myself....hmmmm

well I think they are just dang adorable! I got a silver

tray that is in desperate need of some polish, laid some

fake Fall colored leaves on it, and place my garlic pumpkin

ghosts on top and then sprinkled some acorns I pick up

from out in my driveway and set them on the end table.

This would be the end table right next to where my hubby

sits in the evening to watch the boob tube!

 

 When he comes down later in the late afternoon, he goes

over to sit in his favorite spot and sees my little garlic ghost

pumpkins. I'm in the kitchen and I'm just waiting...just

waiting for one more crack of laughing! But this time he

surprised me. He says, "sweetie, those are so cute and the

way you did them on that tray really looks nice!" I'm silent.

He says, "sweetie did you hear me?" I said, "yes I did, are

you afraid I might poison your dinner!?" He starts laughing

again and say's, "no...well maybe!" Then says while he is

still chuckling, "your mind never ceases to amaze me...

YOU are the only person I know that would paint a face

on garlic and add bows! But I really do think they are cute!

Only you dear....only you!" Now do I believe him...nope!

Why, because every time he looks at them he starts laughing

again! I think he was just afraid what I might to do his

dinner! And I....still think they are just dang adorable

even if he is still laughing! The big meany! Am I wacked!?

 

I don't know, but it's way way past bedtime....I'll sleep on

it and see how I see it in the morning.

 

When I get my pumpkins all done I'll share my over load

of pumpkin making I now have. But at least I have done

what I was determined to do! I can say the hubs hasn't

laughed at them....he actually complimented me on them!

 

That's a good thing for him because this girl is

already thinking of a good backup get even plan

to put up my sleeve for the next time he utters

another laugh! Shhhhh, don't tell but I'm thinking

some mashed up guacamole in the next dish I'm

making! He gags just looking at that stuff!

 

HA!

 

Beware buddy beware!

 

I still think they are cute don't you? Who cares

what he thinks....he's a guy!

 

 

Here's a sneak peek of one of my sweater pumpkins

that was on my two year ago list to make. I just had

to add some sparkle too! Hubs really liked these!

 

Have a great weekend ya'll!
