blackberry and apple crumble

Well this week has gone so quick. On friday we went to the park with my friend and her son. The boys spent the whole time running around screaming it was nice to see them so happy. Well on the way Home we went through the dog park and pick some blackberrys lots and lots of them and on the way home i got some apples. 
So I made blackberry and apple crumble
This is how my mum stewed her fruit (Oh bear with me this is the first time i tryed to write what i did.)
blackberrys
6 apples
1/2 cup brown sugar
water
for crumble i did
150g flour
75g butter/marg
25g sugar
50g porridge oats


Ok here goes

First I washed the blackberrys. I left them to soak while I pealed and sliced the apples. then I placed the apples and blackberrys into a large sauce pan with 1/2 cup of sugar and water. I put a bit much water iIcovered the friut and put on the heat and brought to the boil. then turned down to simmer till the the apples was soft when they were soft I tested the sweetness mine was a bit bitter so I added  a little more sugar and it was just right.  







next i made the crumble   (I got the recipe from netmums recipe it really easy to follow)
I placed all the ingredents into a bowl and rubbed together till they resembled bread crumbs

then i tranfered the fruit into an oven dish. (I had to strain most of the water out as I used to much.)

sprinkle your crumble mix over the top then i lleft till i was ready to cook
I placed in the oven at 200 C /gas mark 6 for 20 minute or untill it turns golden brown
then dish up and serve we had it with custurd it was very yummy i also made a apple crumlbe as my OH doe'snt like blackberrys. Strange man lol.
 i would of taken a picture but they ate it before i had the chance.

changed my blog name

Hi just to be a pain I've decided to change my blog name.You see i don't just sew. My OH says I try everything. So my blog address is the same but my blog name is now creative mumma. confused me to.

Finding it hard to do any crafting at the moment with the kids off.  I did get them to do some painting which they enjoyd. Wish my camra was working as J and TJ my youngest to got in a right mess

my first croched bag start of a passion

This is a bag i made my self as a trial i was praticing a mew stict and liked it and decided to keep going and make a bag as i have lots of small blankets now. I've also been trying to crochet making a little pouch to keep my phone in going to make a strap so i can hang it round me neck and felcro so i can wear it on my uper arm if that makes sence

bit and bobs in my day

Thinks it beautiful to wake up to here the boys laughing and playing nicely together. Really has made my morning. Then to top that I walked into the room and my youngest J said hello mumma luv you i nearly cryed it was so cute.
 
I'm starting to wonder if i'm ever going to lost this waight so i have started being really strict with my self sofar today i have had musli for breakfast with yogurt and a herbal tea and just having a normal tea now think keeping track of what i eat here might just help me as nothing else does way is it so hard to lose waight.

Well the plans for today is to tidy up fill the washing line up. Then do lunch.  Then take the boys to the park on there bikes. At the moment I have one in bed, two playing with there scalaletics in the bed room and one listening to music in the garden. Which is amazing I'm waiting for riot.

As we have just had the weekend I've not got much done. I have started to crochet a little bag to put my phone in when im out as i tend to keep in in my bra which is a pain i going to put it on a velrco strap so i can wear it on my arm or attach it to my  belt buckle. I also am going to make some hair scrunchies.

It OH's birthday soon so need to do something for him but what i'm not sure no he doe'nt need more clothes any way better get on as the day is waisting away
