A Bit More Holiday Painting

Hallo there, you wonderful blog friends.
I was surprised to find teal xmas tree beads
at Michael's craft store, discounted!
Happily surprised!

Adding a new colour to my Dangle Birdies family, purple.
I have a friend who LOVES all things purple.
So I wanted to make a birdie for her,
painted one and decided I really liked it!
So, painted a few more :)

Remember this?
It's the pretty orange pumpkin
from fall decor, now newly painted with
hot pink polka dots!
Just for winter holiday!

A few new Dangle Birdies.
Funny, with the flash on my camera
I can see the slight differences in
colour, for each of these.
I blend my colours, to create unique hues
for each new batch of birdies.

And speaking of batches...
My handsome hunny brought home
fresh blackberries, so in return
I made him a berry crumble for dessert.
This was so yummy and super simple to make.
Here's how...
You'll need these ingredients:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup oats
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
4 cups mixed berries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Equipment: 6 (6-ounce) ramekins
OR small baking dish (as pictured above)
Directions to follow in order:PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES F.
In large bowl combine flour, brown sugar, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, salt and oats.
Using a pastry blender, a fork or your hands cut in butter.
Keep cold until ready to use.
In a large bowl combine berries, 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch:
toss to coat.
Evenly divide the fruit mixture between the
6 ramekins (or baking dishes).
Top with crumble topping.
Bake until top is golden and fruit is bubbly,
about 35 minutes.

Enjoy
~Cheers

It starts with just one leaf...

And fall has begun...

The cool weather inspires me to create baked goods.

I've been busy crocheting too...

Cold enough to have fire and relax in front of it!

Pre-Gobble Day Baking

Nothing is more grand than a warm kitchen on a chilly day.
I decided to bake ginger snap cookies today as well as make a slow cooker beef stew. The house smells wonderful. This is my little comfort foods day, before the big baking of tomorrow's Gobble, Gobble Day.
