Knitted/crochet purple/blue bag

I had two pieces of knitting, one big and one small. I folded the big one over to make a purse and crocheted on the small pieces for a flap. I simultaneously crocheted up the sides and added a handle. It's not a really strong handle, so if you put anything heavy in it it will probably sag badly.

Peach, strawberry, and blueberry baked stuff

Pie

• peaches, strawberries
• sugar, flour (about 2/3 a cup each)
• two frozen pie crusts

I mixed all the fruit up, spooned it into the crusts, and baked it for an hour and 10 minutes at 350.

Cobbler

• peaches, strawberries
• blueberries, nectarines
• sugar

I used the crust recipe from Smitten Kitchen's Crispy Peach Cobbler

I did several different mixes of fruit - strawberry and peaches, nectarines and blueberries, and all the fruit left together in a big dish. Some I sprinkled sugar on, some I forgot. You're supposed to drizzle hot water on the crust and sprinkle sugar, but I just wanted it done with. Did I mention my a/c has died and it's now 83 degrees in here?

Now it's 85

I think my biggest problem is not cooking it long enough - the fruit gets cooked through, but it's still a little watery (which I don't mind) and the crust is doughy in spots. But since it's basically a sweet biscuit crust - butter, sugar, flour, and milk - it's not like it's gonna kill anyone. I think I need to cook them longer and in shallower pans. I suppose I could use my actual pie pans, but then I'd have to clean them out... or maybe I have foil pie pans. Also wrap the edges in foil but with the heat like it is I simply couldn't handle having the oven open that long.

Definitely going to have some to freeze after this....

Underwater Applique Quilt part 3

I've started adding the strands of "seaweed"

Crochet bag - bits and pieces

For reasons I am unsure of, I made a bunch of small crocheted strips. I hooked them all together and used more leftover bits to make a textured bag. Part of my "finish all the bits" projects.

Striped blue batik skirt

I sewed together strips of a figured white cotton with a blue batik, then cut out the pattern on each piece. This gave me the stripes. I sewed smaller strips together to make the pocket and used an embroidery stitch on the hem.

Knitting scrap lap blanket in progress

Crocheting together leftover pieces of knitting. Still have some spaces to fill in.

Knit/crochet bag

This is a piece of knitting crocheted closed and with a crochet handle. It's about a foot long and maybe 7 inches wide. Still finishing off projects from the cupboards!
