This house has an awesome back yard. We have apricot tree that was and is loaded. I have no idea what to do with them.
I feel guilty letting all that fruit go to waste, so I decided to try my hand at canning. This really sweet woman in my ward came over two different days and showed me how.
We canned them whole. The lady just gave me these jars, supper cute huh!
Then we canned apricot jam, yummy. I had never even tried apricot jam before. Boy was I missing out!
This is it, all I was able to get done. There are still tons left to pick. Hopefully other people will come and pick them. Hint, Hint.
Next I made these cute houses. Months ago my mom cut these out for me and my friend Shawnee to make. Yeah, we were just now able to get together and do them.
I think it turned out pretty cute. Now all I have to do is find a place to put it.
When Allison was here we made these. What are they you ask?
Ignore the really dorky picture, I blame it in Allison not her subject, because in real life I am hot!
They are these really cute headbands. My sister-in law had one she made, it was cuter than ours, so we made some too.

Aren't you crafty and domestic! Apricot jam IS really yummy. We always had it growing up. How nice of someone to come help you out!! You have been a busy woman! Good for you.
I always resisted trying apricot jam as a kid, maybe I should give it a try now. Although I think my mom always did pineapple-apricot and the idea of pineapple in a jam totally weirded me out! The headbands are cute, and yes in real life you are hot (I blame the half closed eyes, that always makes you look silly)!
I don't think you look silly - it's more like "Heeeyyyy baby! You ARE hot!
Way to go on the apricot adventures! Chuck's FAVORITE jam is the apricot with pineapple variety. I have apricot stories - but probably best not shared online.
I think the headbands are cute and boy howdy did you girls whip up a batch! Super cute.
I haven't had a full week home yet this summer and it doesn't look to be happening in the next two but that's ok. It's what summer is all about right?!?
Oh man that tree IS loaded. I so loved seeing you this weekend (even though short0 and hearing the apricot story first hand.
Your hotness will never be in dispute.
Love to wear a headband but I have no knob on the back of my head they just slide off.
Hence...MY hotness will never exist!
I wish I was closer, I would totally steal some apricots. I love apricot jam. Good for you. Cute headbands, you may need to do a tutorial for me.
