    That's brilliant weeburd!! They've come a long way since the neep lanterns.
    Don't wrestle with pigs, you just get all dirty and the pig enjoys it.

    You know, in honour of the neep posts in this thread, I have been keeping an eye out for a big neep to do, sadly they're all tiny... is it just me that's grown since my childhood, or are neeps these days smaller than they used to be??

    Any farmers out there got any big ones that they could share with e'Burd? Neeps, that is ...

    Willowbankbear's got a big neep. It would be ideal for keeping the bairns from the door.

    There's some swedes (not the scandinavian type) washed up on Thurso beach if anyone finds that the greengrocers have sold out. They look quite fresh!
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    Default Wee'er Burd's Pumpkin

    As this is a small pumpkin, I've had to go in quite close to get the pic, so it's not as good as the others ...

    Wee'erBurd loves Shrek... well "Donkey" as she calls it, for obvious reasons! I'm afraid I haven't got the, ahem, skills to do Donkey, Princess Fi or Puss, but I may be able to take a commission for next year !

    I only have one more left to carve, might get round to it tonight, but failing that it will be tomorrow. MrBurd hasn't touched his yet, so he'll have a busy day tomorrow too !
    WeeBurd.

    Well, you'll have plenty of time between now and then to practice Donkey, at least Having seen your work, I'm sure you could do it.

    Ah, now there's something I didn't think of. Is this another commission or a freebie? LOL

    You made a great job of Shrek - I'm sure Wee-erBurd is delighted! Maybe this signals a career change for you.
