You all can now see what I have been working soo hard on tonight. It is not the 34 pumpkin long pumpkin snake Martha Stewart made, but it is the very best thing I have made in my life, next to my few quilts, and signs, etc. This is by far the coolest! I know, I am soo full of myself right now, But I am SOO very proud of my work!
So, with out further wait, the pumpkin snake that I featured in my first Halloween blog, from Martha Stewart's site, in my own front yard! My pumpkin snake is made from 10 pumpkins total. It took me 3 hours to complete. I used regular small clear christmas lights instead of the C9 lights Martha used.
All that is needed:
small knife for carving
spade bit
drill w/ extra battery
big big trash can - filled up a 5 gallon pot
1 string 100 light christmas lights - 2.50 from Walmart
1 extension cord
a whole lot of patience - ANYONE CAN MAKE THIS!
total cost: $28.00 pumpkins + lights

CUTE!!!!!!!!! I saw these on Martha's site and you did a wonderful job!!!!! awesome. are you taking orders?! HAHA
Very cute! That project was one of the most time consuming,& wasn't as fun as when I started carving the first 3 pumpkins. The small pumpkins were horrible to try to carve - hard as rocks! So the next orders I will be filling will be on the funkins - fake pumpkins you can carve. Lot less messy! Thanks though, it is something not everyone will not want to take the time to make,
