Day 61 - Does This Pumpkin Make My Butt Look Big?

While uploading photos to place on our new Facebook Pumpkin Lady Fan site, I ran across this picture. Didn't I tell you that Spinner was crazy for pumpkin? We had made a plain backdrop to take some photos to use in our pattern instructions. When I turned to grab the camera, Spinner decided to grab the pumpkin and help himself! A few seconds later literally half the cat was in the pumpkin! Talk about someone having a big ole pumpkin head!

Day 60 - Tasty GOOdness

Every year for the past sixteen years we began pumpkin season with a Giant bowl of pumpkin goo...for the cat! Spinner was completely addicted to pumpkin goo. He'd sit by the pumpkins, patiently, and sometimes not so patiently, waiting for a nibble. I'd sit down beside him on the floor, and carve open the top of the pumpkin so I could scoop out his favorite treat. Before I could set the top down on the floor, he'd stick his head in and start nibbling. If I waited more than three seconds, I'd find HALF of Spinner inside the pumpkin! I'm betting that your pet might like to join in on the pumpkin party, too, this Halloween. Set out a big bowl and see if they dig in!

Day 59 - In Lightenment

Friday night we headed downtown to an interactive art exhibit wherein the city became the exhibit! Giant arms extended from apartment buildings. Pairs of glowing shoes were strung from the trees. A wearable art fashion show lit the night and lanterns bobbed throughout the streets in the city's second annual In Light event. One particularly fun exhibit superimposed rotating rainbow lights against the back wall of the courthouse. If you stood in just the right spot, you became part of the show! My friend, Katie, took this snapshot of my son and his friend posing together to form this four-armed creature of the night. Next year, we're making huge lanterns to create our own little In Light moving exhibit...they'll look like pumpkins, of course! Join us!

Day 58 - It's Here!

Though exhausted, I feel like doing jumping jacks because the new www.pumpkinlady.com has just been uploaded! It's a totally different look and feel and has more patterns than ever. But please note, we've only just begun! Besides the fact that we will be adding new pumpkin carving patterns every week until Halloween, later this week we'll offer a whole new line of Pumpkin Lady products! For the latest updates you can follow me on Twitter or become a Facebook Fan. The best is yet to come!

Day 57 - Time Flies!

So tonight we went to my son's school's 10 year anniversary gala. As you can imagine of a performing arts school, it was great. Awesome! Wonderful! But LONGER than we expected. about two hours longer than expected! So, there and back plus the program was six hours! Oh my! So, as you can guess, we lost six hours on the website to get it up today. But have no fear! Our furious little fingers will be working long into the night to have the new site up tomorrow! Until then, here's another sneak peek at our new little raven mascot. I think he needs a name...have any suggestions?

Day 56 - Add to Cart!

I couldn't resist uploading another sneak peek of the new website! I'm so in love with this adorable little pumpkin cart. Only one more day until the new website debut. And tomorrow is just the beginning...there's more to be added every week between now and Halloween. Keep checking the blog or follow me on Twitter for updates!
