Homemade Blackberry Ice Cream

It’s time for another amazing blackberry recipe using berries picked fresh right here on the property. It’s a great vanilla ice cream to begin with, but I turn it up a notch with our home-grown blackberry crop. 

If you don’t like seeds, make this recipe just plain vanilla or substitute another mix-in of your choosing. Whatever you pick, it’s a fun way to make specialty ice cream, made to order.

Ingredients:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups half and half
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups partially crushed blackberries

1. Place a 13x9 glass baking dish in the freezer. You need to have it chilled for this recipe to work well.

2. Combine all four ingredients in a large bowl, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Pour the ice cream mix into the baking dish and return to the freezer. 

4. Stir the ice cream after 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes.

5. Mash the blackberries until they are mostly crushed, making sure there are few-to-no whole berries. This will make it easier to mix them in and make them easier to eat.

6. After 90 minutes and the third stir, mix in the blackberries. Freeze for an addition 30 minutes and serve.

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Simple DIY Beaded Keychains

Image
We're having so much fun putting together goodie bags and door prizes for our upcoming ladies retreat at the church. So many of our ladies have donated craft supplies, decorations, time and energy to treat our visitors to an amazing time. These keychains are just one of the gifts some of the attendees will find in their bags. All you need to make them are a variety of beads, some fairly thin yet sturdy cord and a jump ring. Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and string it through the jump ring. String matching beads on both sides. And tie it off with a double knot. So simple, yet so pretty. Here's another variation: Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and thread it through a jump ring. Tie one or two beads on one side and tie it off with a knot. Make the other side longer with additional letters and beads before tying it off. Make a variety of lengths, colors, patterns and phrases so no two are alike.

Debilitating Disappontment

The things of this life tend to disappoint us. People aren't who we'd like them to be, events we'd hoped for never occur and things we'd expected to happen in a certain way never come to pass. I've tried relying on everything else in this life - relationships, career, better finances. When we look to mankind for answers or for hope, we will surely be disappointed. Our own misconceptions of life's circumstances leads us down a long, dreary path. What we plan and see inside our head doesn't always match what others see, or what may actually be reality. Looking into ourselves for "clarity" directs us straight to depression and failure. Have you ever heard yourself say, "I couldn't care less" and truly meant it? Having confidence in our own power to change our outlook means that we care more about the circumstances themselves rather than how to grow as Christian women. God is the only unchanging factor in our uncertain world. Focusing on
