I wide variety of things today – first the Dear Jane blocks for “Insanity Revisited”
Row 13, Block 8 why can I never get the lighting right LOL
Row 13, Block 9 made this one today the other one last night. Next one is so easy I just might make it tonight - a simple 9 patch - what was Jane thinking - maybe she got tired of the hard ones after all these many blocks that came before it?
From my nice big blue hydrangea bush - but they are forgetting they are supposed to be blue - the soil conditions have changed I do believe - last year I had a couple lilac color flowers on it, this year a couple more of a pink tone and about 1/3 of the flowers are lilac color - I love the mixture all coming off of the same bush!
a close up
Now on to the blueberries. First thing – well almost first thing this morning I got the blueberries ready for the dehydrator and they have been in it ever since. The book says 10 to 18 hours and it has been 12 hours and they are still going. I have a feeling I might be up late tonight. I do not want to go to bed with them still drying as I do not want them to be hard as rock when I wake up in the morning – hopefully they will be done in a couple more hours? I was hoping it wouldn’t take that long!!
my dehydrator - 4 shelves and they are all full
what the shelves look like full
cheesecake - I cheated instead of completely making it from scratch, I had pie crust in the freezer left over from what I bought for Thanksgiving and thought I better use one of them, a refrigerator carton of cheesecake filling - but the blueberry topping is homemade!
Blueberry muffins -- I have been busy the last couple of days

Yummy cheese cake and muffins!
May I ask why you use the dehydrator? I know it is for drying the berries a bit, but what I mean; is it really needed to dry them before using?
Lovely DJ blocks! How many left now?

Both these blocks are amazing! The blueberry muffins look delicious! We don’t get fresh blueberries here
and I love blueberry muffins. I’ve never tried the frozen berries, I guess I should.
