13 Days of Halloween - Day 13 - Tangerine Pumpkins

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I'll be sharing three posts here on my blog.

In my first post today, I'm bringing DAY 13 (and the last day) of the 13 Days of Halloween series with these Tangerine Pumpkins. :o)

To make these tangerine pumpkins I went with the same design like last year (here). Inspiration to make these tangerine pumpkins was originally from Pinterest.

I bought tangerines on a market. They came from a part of Croatia called the Neretva valley. I personally find them the most tasty tangerines and prefer to buy and eat just those. :o)

"Tangerines from the Neretva Valley is a specific product whose name was registered under the Protected Designation of Origin, and is based on the uniqueness of this product that is the result of specific environmental factors present in the Neretva Valley and the farming tradition."

How I made tangerine pumpkins....

I cleaned tangerines with a clean dry kitchen cloth, to remove any dirt from the surface.

I glued googly eyes, each different size, directly on tangerines. Then I drew mouths and stitches with a black permanent fine liner on each tangerine and they were finished. :o)

Super easy and fun to create. I made more of them, but I gave them away or they were eaten prior photographing. :o) Love how they turned out!!! :o)

List of supplies:

• tangerines
• self adhesive googly eyes
• Staedtler Lumocolor permanent M
• clean dry kitchen cloth

And that is my last project from my 13 Days of Halloween series. I hope you enjoyed in the series and got inspired. :o)

Thank you for stopping by and your kind feedback. Stop by in an hour, I'll share my 2nd post today. Enjoy and smile! :o)

Pumpkins, pumpkins... Tangerine Pumpkins

Happy Halloween!!


This year I skipped decorating an apartment for Halloween. I'm planning how to move everything from this apartment and already started with packing, decorating would just take too much of my energy.

I had fun in kitchen and prepared healthy Halloween treats: gluten free black heart chocolate cake, tangerine pumpkins, tangerine bat. :o)

Tangerine Pumpkins

Inspiration: Pinterest

Supplies: tangerines, self adhesive googly eyes, Staedtler Lumocolor permanent M

I didn't take photos of other treats. At the time I finished them, it was too dark too get any good photo.

Thank you for stopping by and your kind feedback. Enjoy and smile! :o)

Gazpacho Soup (Fairy Tale Challenge #175)

Hi everyone! :o)

It's time for a new challenge over at Fairy Tale Challenge Blog.

Our theme for this fortnight is #175, Etwas aus deiner Küche / Something from your Kitchen. This time we want you to share with us not only paper, fabric etc. projects, we also want to see something you cooked, baked, mixed..., decorations for food, kitchen decor... So this theme is very versatile and there is a lot you can share with us. :o)

This time our lucky winner will win these cute tag dies.

For today I prepared Gazpacho Soup.

Gazpacho is a delicious cold soup, great for hot summer days, really easy to make and there is no need to cook and produce additional heat with a stove. :o)

There are various recipes on the web. Main ingredients are fresh vegetables: tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers. The recipe I'll share with you today is our home recipe of the Gazpacho soup.

Ingredients (2 persons):

• 1 cucumber (mid size)
• 3 tomatoes (mid size)
• 1 onion (small)
• 3 garlic cloves
• fresh basil leaves (2-3 mid size leaves)
• salt 
• pepper
• olive oil (50 ml)
• Worcester sauce (4 - 6 drops)

All ingredients I used for my Gazpacho soup are homegrown, except spices. I bought these. :o) Olive oil is homemade oil my partner's family made last season, garlic is from Hercegovina and onion from Nerteva river valley. I grew tomatoes, cucumber and basil in my balcony garden. :o)

I didn't use bell peppers in this soup because I didn't had any homegrown and I like it this way better. :o)


How to make the soup...

Clean, wash and chopp vegetables.

Put all veggies, basil leaves, olive oil and spices in a blender and blend them so long until you get a desirable texture.

After blending, put the soup in a refrigerator for an hour. Serve the soup as desirable, just as it is or by adding basil leaves, chopped veggies etc. I served the soup with basil leaves and crunchy salty balls. :o)

I hope you'll like the recipe and give it a try. :o) Stop by the Fairy Tale Challenge Blog and see gorgeous creations and recipes my Design Team Mates made for this challenge. Do join us, we can't wait to see projects from your kitchen. :o)
