Sunday in my Kitchen

A cool, rainy Sunday meant lots of cooking.... snickerdoodles for afternoon tea.
A rustic apple tart and a pork roast for dinner.
This was the scene at one end of my kitchen.

A cool, rainy Sunday also meant crafting.
This was the scene at the other end of my kitchen.

alas... my needle-felted pumpkins are now balls of orange dust-bunnies.
I decided we needed something new to grace our seasonal table.

First Nels and Helen cut down a beech sapling (nice pajamas, Helen).
Our woods are just aglow with the beeches right now.

Liz and Nelson then chopped and sanded.


We all gathered with fleece, felt, sharpies, and a glue gun.
To make these fun little guys.
They just need some lanterns...I'll happily skip Halloween and look directly to Martinmas.

I hope these don't turn into dust bunnies too.
