Blueberry muffin – scone

I have been crazy busy this last week with working on a design consulting gig I was honored to be asked to do. This would be my first paid design job but I have given my friends over the years much advice on how to update and refresh their place for an update or a sale, pick paint colors, choose flooring, countertops you name it. My husband is a contractor so together we have re-done several houses together and thankfully he made time for this current gig. He wanted to make sure that my first paid job was a success. The couple arrived home from vacation last night and we got a very enthusiastic phone call with how much they loved everything we did. It felt really good; I’m proud of us; we make a pretty good team.

Blueberry Muffins

So for the last few months I have been researching and gathering supplies for a master bath re-design. Which ended up out into the bedroom and then a beautiful backsplash out in the kitchen. The goal was to have all the main components in house before construction started. This past week was spent on the final details so a lot of running around for me picking up more tile, more grout. I even spent about an hour in a stone debris pile looking for a small piece of marble, granite or some stone for a small shelf topper. So not a lot of cooking or baking time for me this past week.

Blueberry Scones
Blueberry Scones – I felt the need to tell you what they were, since they do not look like a scone

I posted these recipes back in 2014 so I apologize for the; just OK pictures but I remember them well and they were delicious. I think I have some frozen blueberries in the freezer and a blueberry scone might be in my baking in the oven before the end of the day. I will have to work on my presentation skills; boy do they look rustic. I really don’t need another piece of kitchen equipment, such as a scone pan so I better step up my game.
