Apple Pie

I am not a big pie fan. In fact, I didn't even attempt to make pies because I didn't care for them that much. When my husband started asking for pies, I put it off for, oh about 10 years!, and this year I decided I had better make some attempt at filling my husbands cravings.

Creamy blueberry pie. My first pie attempt and it was a winner. We have made this pie several times since. It is now award winning thanks to my sister-in-law Sara who made this pie after trying it at Thanksgiving.

Grandma Ople's apple pie:

 

I wasn't going for beauty here, just taste. However when I realized I had added too much butter (I won't say how much) I thought the pie was done for. If you don't think about the calorie count in here, the pie turned out great! Since this pie had almost 2000 reviews, how could you go wrong?!

New projects

I have a few other projects completed, but I can't let the secret out until after the big day! Christmas is coming soon and I can't wait for everyone to get their gifts. I have tried to make as many as I can this year and have been very successful. Stay tuned!

IGP Night!

We had so much fun at our first, monthly, IGP (instant gratification project) night! Thank you to all who attended. I hope you had as much fun as I did creating, talking, eating, and fixing our mistakes (mostly mine, but who's keeping track?!)

 
Tassi and Kristel with their completed projects. Thanks to Elizabeth of ohfransson for the pattern!

Quilted Bag

I had my first custom order from the craft fair I did. I usually make these bags out of prequilted fabric, but this gal had some fabric she wanted me to use, so I quilted it on my own. For my first free motion quilting project, it turned out really great, if I say so myself! Thanks for the use of your machine Lyric!

   

First Knitting Project!

My amazing mother-in-law taught me how to knit. I finished this project just in time to send it to my friend for Christmas. I was very impressed with my first project. I only had to undo rows 5 times. I am excited to start on the next step..purling (is that even a word?)

 

I've Moved!

OK, so I thought I would try a new host for my craft blog, but wordpress is just too complicated for me. So, I've moved back to trusty Blogspot. I can upload my pictures easier here as I have picasa on the laptop and it is just handy dandy. So, welcome to my new home!
