Mr. and Mrs. PUMPKIN 🎃 only wanted to be free and famous…

HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL 🎃👻

Let me tell you today a story 📖 that happened the days just before Halloween 2024 📚
So grab a drink 🥃 make it yourself comfortable as we will start in a few moments 😊
All set?

Ok, here we go….. it’s #storytime!

As I was wandering through the mountains one day I noticed a lot of orange 🧡 “things” around me. Normally this current season gives me misty, cold, dark and sometimes even frozen days. Sunset is at 15:30h already…. 🌄 It truly feels like winter ☃️ for sure.
Seeing suddenly all this orange around me… made me wonder 💭 and I just had to check it out. Do I dare to get closer 🤔

Today’s selection will be of 25 PHOTOGRAPHS
Dates are: 27, 28 and 29 October 2024.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my phone 📱🤓
This will be my entry into the CHALLENGE from @hivebuzz : Halloween Challenge - Publish Your Chilling Story for an Exclusive Halloween Badge!

🙂 Yes, it is drawing me in… I have to go and take a look… as I get closer and closer… I see this :

A mountain ⛰️ of orange and the biggest pumpkin I have ever seen 😳
Mr. Sunny Skeleton was at the top of it. Sitting on his throne, chilling out and feeling truly like a KING 🤴🏻
He ruled with a strong hand over his pumpkin’s kingdom. They just didn’t know where it was… and see me… I found it. Oh no!
Nobody dared to escape from it… his bodyguards the GHOST TWINS made sure of it 😈

Now I remember the stories my grand parents told me about his pumpkin kingdom. All were afraid and nobody managed ever to get out of there.

Do I hear something….? It is like somebody is crying 😭 softly.
I take a closer look without being seen myself.
Suddenly I see two pumpkins 🎃 close together, trying to hide from their king 👑 protecting each other. Just far enough away from him.

Their king isn’t even noticing them. He is having fun 🤩

I decide I walk by quickly…. To save them. Wouldn’t you… I could feel their pain.
As I come closer to the corner I will grab the two pumpkins 🎃 and walk quickly further without stopping. No looking back…. As this is now or never… I so hope the ghost 👻 twins will not notice me.

I am soooo small… they won’t see me, I think. I just have to save them.
Here I go 😬 cross your fingers 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yes!

I managed to save the 2 pumpkins. I hold both tight in my arms and walk further… almost run. I am not looking back.
I walk and walk for hours until I reach my home up the mountains in the old forests 🌳 🌲 nobody from his kingdom can come here.

I sit down and gently place the pumpkins on my table.

They are so relieved to be safe. Away from Sunny Skeleton 💀
They thank me a thousand times…. For the first time in their lives they take a deep breath 😮‍💨 and relax.
We spend the entire evening talking about how the king reigns his kingdom. I know for sure I did the right thing by taking them with me. Away from it all.
In their stories 📖 they tell me their dreams 😃 and hopes. How they wished to be famous and have a life far away from their past.

I said; let’s go to sleep first and I will help you both tomorrow… I can make you famous if you want. Nobody will hurt you then and everybody out there will remember you for decades to come.
They smiled ☺️ at me and couldn’t get to sleep fast enough. 😴😴

In the morning I told them what I thought would be the best way to do so.
My plan, would mean I have to give them an own identity… their own face. So they could be recognised when they would be famous… like having their own spirit. They agreed with me.

For this I showed them some images… easily searchable on the Internet 🛜 through Mr. #google. After some searching they found their spirits.
They themselves picked the following : Source for Mr. Pumpkin see bottom left…
Source for Mrs. Pumpkin…

Mr. Pumpkin wanted to look very strong. So that if the king would ever find them, he could frighten him and scare away.
Mrs. Pumpkin is old school… she loved the movie 🎥 “Nightmare before Christmas” so she felt a strong pull to this story. How could I not listen to her. 😊

I had to ask the help of my husband to perform the delicate procedures. He wanted to help Mr. And Mrs. Pumpkin too, after I saved them and told him all about their adventures at home when they were fast asleep.

So here is hubby performing the procedure on Mr. Pumpkin 🎃

I take my time… gently I help Mrs. Pumpkin 🎃

We remove their caps….

Place them on the side for refitting later 🙂

First we have to empty all the dark memories from what they went through at Sunny’s kingdom…

Bit by bit they feel… almost “lighter”. All the bad experiences are fading away slowly, as I remove everything what I find. I catch all of the darkness in a large pan. These memories I will burry deep in our forest 🌳🌲 so the pumpkins will have happy thoughts from now onwards.

I scoop out every little bit… to make sure of this.

Slowly we start creating their requested images.

Mr. Pumpkin’s procedure 🎃 is finished first. Look at how happy and strong he looks 😁

I still take my time for Mrs. Pumpkin as she is very delicate herself.

After a while her procedure is also finished. She smiles from side to side 😊

As Mr. And Mrs. Pumpkin’s procedures took so long… I have to warm them up for a while.
So I carefully place a candle 🕯️ inside of them so they can warm up slowly.

As it is dark outside already they found each their spot to rest for the evening…. maybe they even fall asleep 😴 after they warmed up.
Mr. Pumpkin seems to fall asleep already.

Mrs. Pumpkin is still excited from it all and decides to just watch around for a while…

(For the observant viewer… the lettering cut out on the back of her makes for some interesting light display on the wall and cabinet)

I talk to her a little while, and I tell her the way I want to help them even more and make them quicker famous. I promise when the daylight arrives in the morning we go out and have a photoshoot. I will try to capture their spirits… show them to the #world 🗺️

As promised the next day, we decide to go out and have our photoshoot.

First Mrs. Pumpkin 🎃
Look at her smile 😁 how comfortable she is in front of my camera… all her worries seem forgotten. Beautiful in every way 😉

Her side does look even better 😊 what a pretty lady she is, isn’t she?
(the towel inside is so you see the carvings on this side better as the pumpkins are carved on 2 sides)

Being a lady and as it is sooooo close to #HALLOWEEN she wanted to decorate herself a little bit more. See it like a #tattoo
Mrs. Pumpkin chose the following image as a Source of her lettering… modified to her liking

She wanted everybody to know: HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🎃👻☠️

Let’s give the spotlights to Mr. Pumpkin now.
Yep, still happy and STRONG 🎃

If ever someone evil would come close to him. He would scare them away and wanted the following “tattoo” lettering source

He looks so proud.

I found the perfect spot for Mr. And Mrs. Pumpkin to spend their lives together… looking out into the world.

Waiting for the neighbourhood kids to visit them as I told them… with Halloween they would go out in the evening and play a #game ”TRICK OR TREAT”
When the kids do this they will come and visit them too. They will become instantly famous as the kids will tell their parents and their parents will tell the world.

So Mr. And Mrs. Pumpkin are so ready for the kids to come by… not long anymore now.

It is already 19:00h on this 29 October 2024 😁
Soon they will come and their wishes come true.

My story and carvings @lizanomadsoul, hope you like it.

Lol you are so small is funny!
Hahaha cool story and very creative with the pumpkin 🎃.

I must say the pumpkin's wish to get famous also aligns with you making a Halloween out of them. Though I see you were gentle with the knife 🤣🤣

!PIZZA

Hahaha I could just walk by without being seen 😇
Thank you so much Joe… I was inspired in many ways 😁 it came along beautifully.

Had to be gentle with them.
Are you celebrating Halloween in NZ? 👻🎃

!PIZZA

Lol no, Halloween celebration isn't popular here. But few celebrates it from what I've been told by my Kiwi friend.

Ok, I know so e do and some don’t celebrate.
I think for me… it depends where I am. How much I decorate also.
Not sure any kids will go around here hahaha I am sooooo remote.
But, not that far away there is a farm where there are 2 small boys. 9 and 12 years old. So there is a possibility.
I got some candy 🍬 just in case.
Will see what happens. !LOL

What to you call it when you think about eating cheese?

Let’s hope… right now… they are getting buried on the porch ❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️☃️☃️☃️ it started to snow at 11 o’clock this morning. By 1300h it was 4 cm already. Went out and took so e photos and videos… will post tomorrow my winter wonderland 😁

Oh my days! snow?????
RIP Mr & Mrs P

Yes… it is sooooo beautiful ☃️
They are holding on though… 🎃🎃 maybe because they are frozen !LOL

Oh my, this looks seriously good! I never knew one could carve such detail from it! As I said in the other comment, we have never really done the Halloween and carving of pumpkins here. This is so interesting and your creativity surely shines here!

Thank you so much 😊
It is soooo fun to do. Even if one doesn’t celebrate. I used to carve watermelon 🍉 for parties. Been a while though.
I didn’t have much time now other wise I would have carved a 3d face into them. Maybe next year when I have more time.

For the time you had available, that is pretty impressive! I will try it with watermelon for the summer! It can be incredibly fun for a pool party or something like that!

Thanks a lot 😊
Sounds like a perfect plan for the summer… let me know when you carve 🍉

Have a nice day!

You showed fine craftsmanship in freeing the individual spirit and character of each fruit, no pumpkin is too small or imperfect, each needs to express what each were meant to be! Well done @littlebee4 🎃

OMG, what a great story @littlebee4! I love it! Mr. and Mrs. Pumpkin seem so happy to be saved at your home. They are sooo pretty and seem like they are made for each other! Also, I love that you not only carved the faces but also the back of the pumpkin. I've never seen that before!! 😱😱😱 - Seems like you had a great time doing those two with your husband. Cool that he gave you a hand with it as well! Thanks for sharing this great creative story with me /us @littlebee4🐝🐝☀️

Thank you so much @lizanomadsoul 😊 they were so happy and are enjoying themselves on the porch.
I had loads of fun and was happy hubby helped.

I thought it was a good idea to do 2 sides. Haven’t seen it before either. It did cause a problem as the background inside on each side is not dark. So you see “through” it. But still it was great and one can walk past them and see both carvings 🎃🎃

Happy to share. Have a wonderful day!

Cooool a @ladytoken!!! Love it ❤️❤️❤️

I am very sure they are! You saved them from the madness 😎 It is so much fun to be creative. Great that you had a good time as well and your happy hubby to share those emotions and memories with! That is priceless! ❤️❤️

Got it, so it looks cool, but is not optimal to carve from both sides. Still awesome that you tried and on the picture it looks very nice! You too have a wonderful day Jackie 😘🐝 Cheers, Liz

Thank you ☺️
Those moments are indeed priceless 🤗

It does look cool but isn’t practical. Maybe if you don’t put a candle 🕯️or light inside and insert a black fabric it will do exactly what it should do and shows off both sides. Like I did for the photos of them outside.
Thank you so much Liz enjoy yours!

I did… till they grew old and tired but they died together in their arms like an old couple would like.
The snow and frost froze them, the last few days were warm… so defrosted all. With the result you can imagine…
