Apple pickin' at Green Gables

This past week I've made bushelfuls of apples for Green Gables. I found some Premo clay at Kädentaitomessut (local craft fair) last weekend, and I love it, much better than Fimo. I followed the tutorial here, and I'm pretty happy with the results. Marilla was rather thrilled by the apples as well, and she couldn't help snacking on a few as she was making a cake.

Anne also took a platter of apples to her room for a study snack:

After supplying Green Gables with all the apples they needed, I still had a whole bag left:

I did a bit of painting, too, but that didn't go too well. The paint I had bought was way too dark and too "army green" for Green Gables. 

The weird thing is that I had to paint all that before I realized I must stop. Luckily, I managed to get almost all of it off; the wood only has a few darker stains that refuse to come off. So, no real harm done there!

Next, I'll continue painting the white parts of the house, and I have a feeling Marilla will make some yummy cakes...
