Welcome to T stands for Tuesday.
Do I dare say that I think our internet troubles are finally over? We haven’t had a reboot in almost 3 days now. Of course, we’ve hardly used the computer either since we’ve been so busy. Where shall I start?
Apples….
We helped with the annual harvest at our neighbors house on Saturday. We brought home 6 grocery bags of apples to be processed…a fraction of the total haul from their 7 trees.
Later that evening I went to a new neighborhood edition of craft club, where I made these 4 cards as well as got my stamp on the backs of a huge stack of previously made cards. I was pretty tired from the day and didn’t really have my craft mojo going.
Sunday was spent with Little J in the garage processing through the apples. They are organic so they have spots and holes so most need some trimming after being run through the peeler/corer/slicer. BIG JOB! So glad I had help this year. We ended up with about 15 gallons of apples ready for the next step.
So far I’ve made 7 quarts of sauce…
One pie…
An overstuffed quart bag of dried apple slices and three 8×8 apple crisps are in the freezer at the ready for future desserts. That was only about 1/2 the apples. More apple-ing today…
Last night I had a well deserved glass of wine.
Last week I finally got around to doing some creating…here’s a work-in-progress shot of a painting.
I’m a little late with my post today as I went for a walk with a friend around a local lake this morning. 4.25miles. It was a little brisk at times but as long as you keep moving it helps keep you warm.
What are you doing today?
Oh, yummy, yummy, yummy! The pies, the applesauce, the wine, all of it!
You got me with the googly eyes on the apple, hahaha. I love to “put up” the fall fruits for the coming winter. We made apple butter with the apples we were gifted. Not nearly the amount of apples you have though.
Happy T Day

That’s some serious apple canning! I like the artistic leaves on top of the pie. You certainly did deserve that wine after all that apple work plus crafting besides!
Wow! A lot of work but what great output already!! Apple crisp sounds really good on this chilly, chilly day!
I find I have to be in the mood to do crafts or art, too. Your cards turned out. When the mojo is not working mine doesn’t seem to turn on by just keeping going like some people talk about. I just end up with stuff I’m not crazy about–LOL! I do love the start to your painting, though, and look forward to seeing where you go with it.
Happy T-Day! :)
Thhat’s a lot of apples. I tend to buy them 4-6 at a time lol
Oh my gosh, girl, you Have been busy :) love that apple pie, especially with the little ‘leaves’ on top!
Your painted page is Awesome! Love it :)
Hope you’re having a lovely t day
Loved the google eyed apples. That was so funny, I fell over laughing.
Good grief. You’ve been so busy, I got tired just reading everything you’ve been doing. Sounds like we both have internet problems. mine is compounded with computer problems, too.
So enjoyed seeing all these goodies you have made, including the pie that looked TOO GOOD to eat, the cards that I’m sure will sell, and the dried apples for snacks. Really enjoyed that latest canvas, too.
Thanks for sharing all you and Little J have been up to this week for T this Tuesday. ME? I’m just trying to catch up and breathe!
busy girl/ LOL! the goggly eyes! and that pie! pass me a piece!
thanks for the kind words.
Oh yummmmmmm! I love apple season, and was just thinking it is time to head up to the mountains and pick some apples. I’m not sure I want as many as you got…LOL Everything you made is making my mouth water, and the glass of wine looks so inviting.
Really like where you painting is heading, quite lovely.
sounds like you have quite an apple challenge, but boy you will enjoy them this winter! your pie looks marvelous, and a great idea to freeze the apple crisps! Lovely cards too…you’ve had a very busy few days! ♥
Wow, a lot of apples, but you are well set up to use them with all your equipment. I love your painting. Looking forward to seeing it when you are done
amazing! Oh yes ! I had also a very busy week with our two apple trees recently ..
this pie looks so yummie and the same does your new painting!
