Whatcha' Workin' on Wednesday

According to my SIL, I am supposed to participate in My Country Home's whatcha' workin' on Wednesday. So, for the past week I have been working diligently on some of my fall items. I am making some Halloween dolls, fall leaves, pumpkins, etc.

Here are some of the pumpkins I have been working on. They were made using a pattern from Tickled Primitives (pattern designer right here in Ohio). They are called "Ugly Punkins". Unfortunately, the pictures aren't that good. These pumpkins were actually made back in January...but the new ones I made haven't had pictures taken of them yet.







For my first time ever, I made potato salad!! It is chilling in the fridge as I type this. I had a 5 lb. bag of potatoes that I had to use or I was going to have to throw them away. I asked my mom if she had a simple recipe for potato salad, and just like she always manages to do...she came up with one. Here's the recipe if any of you want to try it:

Potato Salad

5 lb. bag of potatoes
1 dozen eggs
2 cups mayonaise
2 cups sweet relish
1 T. prepared mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

First, boil your potatoes (I did this with the skins on because it was quicker to get them off once boiled). Drain potatoes and let cool. While potatoes are cooling, boil eggs. In a large bowl, dice potatoes and eggs. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together. Cover and place in the fridge to chill until ready to eat!!!

Have a wonderful rest of this Wednesday!!!!

Love the photos of your house, too! Great work.

Goodness, did you have to rent a u-haul to get that stuff home?

I love canning jars too, just picked up two unusual ones today.

Don't worry about my pea pods , do them as you can and give me a holler when they are done.
