Cranberry Bread

Today we made cranberry bread. We used the recipe from the book Cranberry Thanksgiving by Wende and Harry Devlin. It was our first time making this recipe and actually took us a long time to get it all mixed and in the oven. Bethany and Tess chopped all the cranberries and Piper and Sarah did most of the grating of the orange peel. It was fun to try out this bread after reading the book year after year. Not sure why we have never tried this recipe, but this year we thought we would try it out and then if we liked it we could make it for Thanksgiving. Everybody loved it and so I guess we will be having cranberry bread for the first time on Thanksgiving.
I took a lot of pictures but, strangely enough, I forgot to actually get a picture of the bread after it was done. I wish I hadn’t forgotten as it looked really pretty.

So Many Projects

This weekend Bethany started a new project – she has so many projects going on right now. She is working on advent calendars. She got the idea from her math tutor and started immediately. We went out to get the material and things on Saturday and today after church she started working on them and she worked all day long. She decided to try to make them and sell them for Christmas money and has two orders already. Not bad. Of course, one of the orders is from her Sunday school teacher that always supports Bethany’s endeavors to make money. The calendars are actually not a quick project. I think she was pretty tired by this evening, but said she would continue to work on them again tomorrow. I absolutely love watching her enthusiasm when she gets a new idea.

Tess is also working on weaving this weekend. I’m not sure what she is making yet, but she has spent a couple of days working on this off and on. I am hoping she will continue with it and have something made in the next week or so. She seems to be enjoying weaving again.. I think there is something about fall that makes my kids do even more projects than usual.
