Year of Making Stuff: Week 27

When peaches are in and ripe, I will eat them with every meal. However the season is short, and come winter I will be craving my favorite fruit. Today I peeled, sliced and mixed up 18 cups of peach pie filling. Portioned out into individual freezer bags, I have enough for three pies this winter, with a few left over for instant snacking. Come winter, I’m set. Week 27? Making pie filling. Not exactly instant gratification, but talk to me again in January.
I have also been sewing my tiny pieces together, and out of 320 blocks to make, I have 230 done. I am running out of 1 1/2 inch pieces though and may not have enough fabric to finish without introducing something additional.
The rest of this Sunday afternoon will be spent reading about Bananas.
Really.
