Sunday Dinner

Okay, does anyone really make a big Sunday dinner anymore?  Well, if I was a good cook (um, not even close), or maybe if I just enjoyed cooking (I don't) my meals on Sunday would look something like this.....

roast, potatoes..

                                                                                    carrots.....

                                                       with a recipe for a great life!..................

                                   I guess for now I will settle for a mini Sunday dinner made of clay!

This last summer my daughter and I decided to enter my mini shop in the Iowa State Fair.  It took Layel and I three hours to set it up again once we got to the fair!  (I don't glue my things in place because I love to move things around!)  Anyway, the plan was to set it up and to take pictures while we worked and then of the finished shop.......but....yep, you guessed it, I forgot the camera.  I decided I would take a few pictures here at home and show you the results from the fair!  We had such fun putting it all together and meeting all the other people with beautiful entries!  So here are some pictures of the shop  and a picture of the ribbons we brought home~                              
It was very hard to photograph the shop, I ended up not being able to take a picture of the shop as a whole...

My "Paris" table....all kinds of yummies!...

a close up of a sweet heart cake and cupcakes....

cheesecakes, tulips and fruit, what a variety!...

caramel apples....

cakes, cakes and more cakes!....

chocolate and white cake with pink frosting and strawberries!

Pink birthday cake with baby bunnies, milk and white chocolate hearts..and oh!,don't forget the sprinkles!

gummy worms, taffy...

All-sorts, wax lips, and green apple giant  gumballs....

Chocolate!!!!!

marshmallows...

and finally...the results!....

First prize in  my class and Best of Show!

Fall Has Arrived!

Fall is here!  Cooler weather, changing leaves and my favorite part of fall...visits to the apple orchard!  Nothing can beat the rolling hills, blue skies, hack-rack rides, warm apple turnovers and the best for last...picking apples!  It is a tradition, we have gone to the same orchard for years and years, I even have a painting of it in my kitchen!   This little apple board is made for the season,  I used a little bit of nature for the actual "board" .....I like the primitive look of it.  Anyway, the board will be for sale on my CDHM gallery, hope you like it!   (I had a really hard time taking pics of it for some reason.....  I could not get the color or detail of the apples like I wanted to! Oh well, here they are anyway!)
