The end of the week...

It's been quite a pleasant day today - 9C/48F, there's even been a tiny ray of sunshine every now and again

Very cool decorations! How do you attach the parts to each other, do you weld them or glue?

I use a traditional method (like the Tiffany lampshades) using metal solder to join the pieces of glass. You use a copper foil around each piece and the metal solder melts and attaches to the foil using a soldering iron making the join very strong. It’s fun!

The illusion star is very cool!

Thanks! It's not my design, but I really like how it gives the illusion of the star :)

Your decorations are wonderful! I love the illusion star and have never seen one like it.

Pumpkin loaf is a sweet bread usually so yes, lots of sugar is used just like banana bread. I love pumpkin bread!

Your seeded loaf looks gorgeous!
It sounds like you've herded a lot of cats in your life. LOL

Thanks! The illusion star is not my design - I like the clever way it works.

I think I got the sweetness just right and I cut the sugar by a third. I don’t use much sugar in banana bread either. It’s a US recipe and I always find those too sweet for us. I’m glad it still worked. The pumpkin seeds on the top are coated in honey which is rather yummy!
