    Baby Gourds Made Into Ghosts

    Published by Pam Kessler | 145 words. · About 1 minute to read this article. - 30 Comments

    I'm officially done with all roofers and all ceiling fixer/painter guys for the rest of my life. I have a lifetime guarantee on this work, you know.

    So I have started bringing out some of my fall stuff.

    Ghosts made from gourds.

    You'll be happy to know that Kate has finally made it off the kitchen counter.

    I made these ghosts by painting some small dried gourds with heirloom white spray paint,

    painting two eyes and a mouth with black craft paint (look, I can paint circles)

    and throwing some cheesecloth over them.

    It doesn't get simpler than that.

    Hope you had a wonderful weekend. It was a unseasonable chilly here, but the nip in the air definitely got me in a autumnal mood. Unfortunately, both my Buckeyes and Browns lost this weekend. We're used to the Browns losing, but the Buckeyes losing is a harder pill to swallow.
