Not only do the trees look so beautiful, and does the air feel so crisp and fresh, it is also pumpkin harvest season!
We left them to dry on some plastic wrap for about 2 days, or until they were as hard as rock.. We used some orange and black paint to make them a little bit festive and that was it!.They don’t look half bad when they’re grouped together with a whole bunch of real pumpkins in the mudroom..
This little mini guy was my test pumpkin.You can see that if you want to take your time with them and make the paper towel strips a bit smoother, that you can actually get a pretty cute pumpkin out of this method.. …or you can just let your kids go nuts and make some great Halloween memories!.Have fun getting messy!If you don’t know about this one and you’re a baker, even on occasion, then you’ve definitely been missing out.
I live in a fairly humid climate, so I always have problems with baking supplies clumping together, but brown sugar going hard is definitely the worst.It becomes completely unusable!.
I’ve heard of all kind of different things that were supposed to work for this problem: a piece of bread, a piece of terra cotta soaked in water, things like that, but none of them really worked every single time.. Just a few years ago, I learned of this little trick.
I don’t know know where I heard about it, but I’ll be forever grateful.And there you have it!Well, we’re now officially into our first Fall in the country and so far, it’s pretty much awesome.
Of course the decorating festivities continue as always.Nothing new there..
This time we’re going to visit the mudroom off the front kitchen entrance.. Let’s get to it!.I started out a couple of weeks ago by painting the ugly glossy forest green door this fun barn red and from there I was pretty much unstoppable, as I’m sure you’ll be able to tell..
