A Berry Wonderful Weekend

Last year, right after we moved up here, we hiked up Buffalo Mountain which is right by our house.

We were pleasantly surprised to find some berries right along the trail - so we picked them - here's last year's post.  So we decided to go again this year - my mom was here this past week so we all climbed the mountain and went berry pickin! Here's Buffalo Mountain:

Diligently picking berries.

Sneaking a few for a snack!

On the way home we stopped to pet a horse.

Here's our collection!

We decided to make little hand pies - which were AMAZING!!

We used a recipe from Delicious Meliscious.

I omitted the glaze but added sanding sugar, and I used the refrigerated pie crust from Pilsbury which is the BEST store-bought pie crust ever.

YUM!!

Hope you all had a great weekend too!  Summertime is so much fun.

Mmmmmm it's lovely!  

Saturday we went to my cousin's wedding in Jacksonville.

Charlotte wore this dress my momma made -

All in all it was a busy, but great weekend (except I miss my hubby).

Hope yours was great too!

Aprons...and much more

Hey!  Hope you all had a great weekend - ours was filled with potty training, pumpkins, injured deer in our driveway and a mysterious house fly infestation, which I think was related to the injured deer.  Fun in the country!

BUT one of the things I did this weekend was enter the Prudent Baby Fat Quarter Apron Contest.  They have made a tutorial for an apron that can be made out of a fat quarter of fabric, and right now if you make one and send it to them, you are entered to win fat quarters of the ENTIRE collection of Anna Maria Innocent Crush!!  This tutorial takes about 20 minutes and is simple and easy to understand.  You have until November 10th at midnight to email them pics of your aprons and you can make as many as you want!  Perfect motivation to make gifts for the ones you love!
Here are the two I made:

Christmas Apron

Domestic Diva Apron

I'm just going to keep my cleaning supplies on this apron - then I just have to tie it on 

and I will be ready to clean like crazy.

  

At least that's the hope ;)

Have a great day..and coming soon - what my talented hubby did with that big 'ole pumpkin.
