So I haven't posted in a little while....I have been pretty busy. The hubs and I have been going through all our things and donating items we no longer need or wear. We are rearranging the back two bedrooms to paint and rip the carpet out...I know sounds like a fun project to some. Not to me. I hate the whole process. But I love the finish. I wouldn't hate it so bad if it wasn't wood paneling. YUCK. It takes so many layers of primer and then still takes forever because you have lost momentum to put the color on. I am not joking when I tell you it took a year to paint our living room. Since we bought our home in 2007 we have only painted the living room, kitchen, and the boys bedroom and the nursery room (3rd bedroom). I still lack the bathroom, our bedroom, the laundry room, back porch (here in the south we have these random rooms in the back of the house usually where the back door is that is just strange space-but great storage space for outdoor furniture or even easy space to build on later). We are in no rush. I plan to make the nursery into the boys class/art room. I am pretty excited about it. I am also excited about getting the last of the carpet out of the house :-)
Sooo your wondering where the blueberries come into play? Well my precious MIL received some fresh picked blueberries from a dear friend at church. And she didn't know what to do with them all...so I made my first blueberry pie! Soo yummy! It was very simple. Not having time to make a crust last night and let it sit, I picked up the premade pie shells in the refrigerated section where you find the biscuts...I was a little leary not having used them before but it still turned out pretty good.
I used about 4 cups of blueberries, a cup of sugar, 4 tbs of cornstarch and a tsp or more of cinnamon ( I eyeballed it). I served it with vanilla ice cream :-)
Sorry the picture is a little blurry...I took it with my cell phone.
Wednesday I am going fabric shopping and plan to show a friend how to applique! I am pretty excited about it. We are going to make her two precious girls shirts...then I am going to sew them skirts to match ;-)
I am also getting stuff ready for my etsy page!!! I will keep you posted as it comes along!
