Catch up

I am playing catch up here and using my I pad to create these blog entries.  I'm not sure that I like doing it this way, I had a pretty neat system set up on my PC but the PC was reformatted  and I couldn't do my pictures the same way so I started doing my entries on a Mac. Well bear with me, if anyone even reads my blog.  So I will try to get some pictures on here.

I had 2 big zucchinis left I my garden so I made loafs and muffins.  Some of the loafs had raisins and cocoanut, some had orange and cranberries and some had chocolate chips and dried cherries.

I cooked a couple of small pumpkins and made pumpkin butter.  It's tasty on an English muffin.

Making a leaf bowl

these are the items you need.

Silk leaves from the dollar store, mod pudge, balloon, foam brush, tray to put mod pudge in, pot to set balloon in.

Cover balloon with mod pudge and apply leaves, covering them with mod podge and layering more over them. Let it dry for at least 8 to10 hours.   It will shrivel up a bit but that adds to the charm.  When it's dry pop the balloon.  The balloon will come away easily.
