We had an artful day today, filled with garden happiness, DIY flower crowns, and yummy, kid-made blueberry hand pies.

First, the girls made flower crowns with brown paper and sticky duct tape, an idea from the lovely Maya*Made.

Then we baked delicious blueberry hand pies inspired by Angry Chicken, using a regular pie crust recipe (from Amy’s cheat sheet) and filled with a simple and tasty blueberry filling.
