Our weekend was sooo much fun! We did many things but the best part was getting ready for Halloween. Bellow you see my hairdo and I in a totally inspired Halloween outfit. I wanted to wear something orange and black to start the day :)
We went pumpkin hunting. Here you see my little pumpkin among the other pumpkins, he was so fascinated with the place :)
And here we see my other little pumpkin in front of a huge pumpkin house. We would love to have this house in our backyard! It had a door on the back so you could go inside. Natalie and Diego spent some time in there playing :) while Billy the hunter was doing his job, finding the perfect pumpkins for the family.
And now my Halloween creation! I basically carved a wide mouth and two round eyes on my pumpkin to create like a house. Then I made a black papercut of a girl who wants to eat a poisoned fruit while her animal friends say: DON'T EAT THE FRUIT PLEASE! YOU'RE GOING TO TURN INTO A WITCH!! And she responded: THAT'S OK, IT IS ALMOST HALLOWEEN!!!
And here you see my pumpkin at night with a little candle inside :) Please don't worry because after Halloween the girl will stop being a witch and she will go back to normal :)
THE END :)
Have a great Monday my friend and see you tomorrow!
Elsita :)
Hej Elsa,
You look so good in the picture, so totally focused and relaxed at the same time, beautiful.
I wish I could carve a pumpkin so nicely but than again I just use them for making the best soup. It is my believe that soup is one of the best things one can get coming home when it rains cats and dogs and the wind is trying to blow you away.
But you blew me away today. Thanks.
See you tomorrow.

Your hair is getting so long again and I love it. It reminds me of those old pictures bill showed us on his blog. Your 2 little live pumpkins are so sweet and that is such a fun activity for them. I told Deborah the other day that I was sure elsita would incorporate her papercut genius into a pumpkin this year. My crystal ball is working quite well I guess. I love it. I am not going to be home on halloween weekend but I am pretty sure we will carve some little pumpkins this week anyway.

Just wanted to say hello and mention that I learned about you very recently from the feature in Cloth Paper Scissors. I enjoyed the interview and appreciate your sense of humor and spirit. I was intrigued by the mention of your sister, as my 17-year old very artistic daughter has schizophrenia also.
I look forward to reading more of your blog and seeing your wonderful art.

I just love your work.
But, that pumpkin house looks pretty great too.

That is such a creative idea for pumpkin carving! It looks really beautiful - like the Halloween equivalent of those eggs with a scene inside of them (I'm not sure what they are called...).
Also, great shoes! ;)

you look beautiful, Elsa! Cool pictures.. I remember seeing those pumpkins in LA when we lived there, but at that time I did not have my little ones to have that much fun!
Posted by: Maria HLobo | October 27, 2008 at 10:08 AM
You look great, your little pumpkins look great....and I just love the little "witchie" woman! : )

The pumpkin is amazing - and puts my pumpkin carving (hacking!) to shame. It is detailed, textured and absolutely original. Bravo!

College sports, especially football and basketball, are a big industry.
