Cherrys First Apple Pie

Dinner

It had been wet day, and I was totally over the mob here. During the day, I had helped Cherry make her first apple pie. I tend not to do to much cooking with the kids, they sort of get in the way, and fight, but I have decided to relent on this, and only allow one at a time to cook with me, and be more insistant about them cleaning up as well.

So, she presented my with her peeled apples, when I got back from a seminar at lunch time. We made a short crust pastry, no recipe, I just dump the stuff, in the bowl in the right order and tell her what to do. eg rub the butter into the flour, etc,etc. Rolled, Filled. egg washed, and Ta Da, apple pie.

We had it after one of my no fuss chicken and veg. roasts, because

I wanted to visit a friend close by, it was 5 o,clock, and I really needed to get out of this mad house.

So I filled a baking tray, with chicken legs, potatoes, sweet potato, carrot, and onions, all cut to the same size. added some whole garlic cloves (skins on) the juice and the quarted pieces of a lemon, sprinkled mixed herbs, and splashed olive oil. Bunged it in a moderatly hot over, and left the house.

Walked back in the door at 6.30 took the tray out of the oven, microwaved the brocoli, and dinner was on the table. They all loved it but lamented the fact that there was no gravy. Oh well, the idea was a good dinner with little effort, anyway I made custard, to go with the Apple pie.

Yum oh, apple pie and custard. This girl, had a belly on her like a stuffed pup, after her dinner.

Lets Go St George

Lets Go..Following Jesus, was the theme for a 3 day kids Club, that Redcliffe Uniting Church ran in St George. Looking at the time after Easter, Lets go down the road with Jesus, Lets to upstairs with Jesus, and Lets go fishing with Jesus.
We had singing, games, movie bits, groups, crafts, food, fellowship, and lots of love.
It was a great week, lots of kids having a great time, and young leaders, learning the ropes.
Praise God, for all the things he does, big and small.

LETS GO - St George

A bus load of people from Church, are going to St George, 600K West of here, to run a 3 day Kids Club. It should be great.

Its Happening

Well I'm finally getting it together, to join the world largest craft market. Yes Etsy. Yeehaa
Its so good to actually be trying to sell my stuff, instead of just accumulating it. I did a festival/Market it was good, and I sold stuff, even better, but not a the prices I would like. Its hard to earn a living wage as a crafts person.
Abit more work figuring it all out, and i'll be department store material.

Crucified, FINISHED


These images were created, first by setting up the Church stage in to 3 sceenes, The Garden, the Trial, and Calvery. The sceens were then potographed, and then I painted in images of Jesus. In the image of the trial, the courtyard is a painted backdrop.
