Linda, what a wonderful proecjt. I really LOVE your fabric choice. I also love the bamboo rods and the creativity you used in figuring out how to hang them. I also really like the side panels in the bottom two pictures. Very nice touches. Thank you for sharing on the boardwalk Bragfest!

I’m curious what vanilla pudding is? Do we have that here in England?
Jamielyn
Here is a link to some on amazon, you may have something similar that could work. Maybe a custard? Would love to know if you find something! Hope you like them. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=vanilla+pudding&x=0&y=0

Thanks again for always sharing!!!

I have these in the oven right now. Well the first two batches anyway. I took it by flour you mean’t plain flour (that’s what i’ve used anyway, and the second lot of sugar i used golden caster as i figured that would work?) Anyway time will tell. My son is happy that they are chocolate chip rather than anything nutty, coconutty, fruity lol
Sumer
seriously look sooooo yummy…. just put a double batch in the fridge to firm up for freezing later. ;) fresh baked cookies and cold milk for our night snack tonight. :)
Just Jinny
Everyone loves when I make these chocolate chip cookies! I’ve tried to keep the ‘secret’ of the pudding close to my chest…lol. But nothing is really secret now-a-days. I’ve been meaning to bake a batch to introduce myself to the new across the street neighbors.
