And I’ve guest blogged about the event over at author <a title="Children's Author Speed Dating" href="http://taralazar.wordpress.com/2011/05/31/childrens-author-speed-dating/">Tara Lazar’s blog</a>. I’m really excited about this, not just because it’s my first guest blogger post. I’ve been following Tara’s road to publication for a couple of years now, and I can’t wait for her book MONSTORE (Aladdin/Simon & Schuster) to hit shelves in summer 2013. I hope to line up for one of her events at BEA pretty soon.</p> <p><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/31/check-out-my-bea-guest-blogger-feature/" class="more-link">Read more on Check Out My BEA Guest Blog Feature!…</a></p> </div> </div>  <div class="bar"> <div class="share">  <a class="share-twitter" onclick="window.open('http://twitter.com/home?status=Check Out My BEA Guest Blog Feature! - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/31/check-out-my-bea-guest-blogger-feature/','twitter','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Check Out My BEA Guest Blog Feature! - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/31/check-out-my-bea-guest-blogger-feature/" title="Check Out My BEA Guest Blog Feature!" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>  <a class="share-facebook" onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/31/check-out-my-bea-guest-blogger-feature/','facebook','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/31/check-out-my-bea-guest-blogger-feature/" title="Check Out My BEA Guest Blog Feature!" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> <a class="share-google" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/31/check-out-my-bea-guest-blogger-feature/" onclick="window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/31/check-out-my-bea-guest-blogger-feature/','gplusshare','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i></a> <a onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/31/check-out-my-bea-guest-blogger-feature/&media=&description=Check Out My BEA Guest Blog Feature!','MyWindow','width=600,height=400'); return false;" style="cursor:pointer;" target="_blank" id="pinterest-share"><i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="masonr"> <div class="post post-7698 type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-crafts category-food category-sewing tag-aprons tag-baking tag-crafts tag-pies tag-recipes tag-sewing">   <div class="clear"></div> <div class="frame"> <div class="title-wrap"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/30/may-pie-strawberry/" title="May Pie: Strawberry">May Pie: Strawberry</a></h2> <div class="title-meta"> <span><i class="fa fa-user"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/author/admin/" title="Posts by jackie" rel="author">jackie</a></span> <span><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/30/">May 30, 2011</a></span> <span class="categories"><i class="fa fa-align-justify"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/making/crafts/" rel="category tag">Crafts</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/eating-stuff/food/" rel="category tag">Food</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/making/sewing/" rel="category tag">Sewing</a></span> <span class="tags"><i class="fa fa-tag"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/aprons/" rel="tag">aprons</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/baking/" rel="tag">baking</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/crafts/" rel="tag">Crafts</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/pies/" rel="tag">pies</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/recipes/" rel="tag">recipes</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/sewing/" rel="tag">Sewing</a></span> </div> </div> <div class="post-content"> <p><em>Other pie/apron projects: <a title="January Pie: Lemon Meringue" href="../?p=6661">January Pie: Lemon Meringue</a>, <a title="February Pie: Milk Chocolate Pudding Pie" href="../?p=6818">February Pie: Milk Chocolate Pudding</a><a title="March Pie: Thin Mint Grasshopper" href="../?p=7065">, March Pie: Thin Mint Grasshopper</a><a title="April Quakertown Crumb Pie" href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/?p=7378">, Recipe-A-Day Week Vol. IV Day 7: Quakertown Crumb Pie (April).</a></em></p> <p><a href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0810.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0810-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-7700" title="strawberrypie" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0810-1-590x401.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="401" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0810-1-590x401.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0810-1-300x203.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0810-1.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p> <p>Holy fruit season, Batman. This was so good, I’m still a little thunderstruck.</p> <p>I had a strawberry allergy as a kid, so I never ate strawberries and eventually lost a taste for them. I kind of haphazardly avoid them, thinking they’re too tart on their own, too syrupy and unpleasant in dishes. But Adam loves them, and I knew I wanted to make a strawberry pie as part of my pie-a-month project this year. And I was going to make it next month (I’d read June is strawberry season), but the local farms and markets nearby already have a bumper crop of gorgeous looking fruit. So since it’s Memorial Day Weekend, I broke down and bought 2 bushels of pesticide-free, glorious looking strawberries and made the pie for our cookout today.</p> <p>I used a recipe from<a title="Neelys Strawberry Pie" href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/neelys/neelys-strawberry-pie-recipe/index.html"> The Neelys </a>for the pie, which was so easy I cannot stand how many fruit pie variations I will be making this summer. I suddenly understand pie in the summer. And the half cafe apron is something I just whipped up in less than an hour with some fun red Michael Miller polka dots.</p> <p><strong>For the pie:<br /> </strong>2 sheets roll-out pie crust (I used Martha’s trusty <a title="Pate Brisee" href="http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/baking-handbook-pate-brisee">Pate Brisee </a>recipe)<br /> 2 tablespoons butter, melted<br /> White sanding sugar, for top of crust<br /> 2 bushels of strawberries (enough for 5 cups when hulled and halved)<br /> 1/2 cup granulated sugar<br /> 3 tablespoons cornstarch<br /> Pinch salt<br /> Sanding sugar, for dusting</p> <p><strong>For the apron:<br /> </strong>1/2 yard print for body of apron<br /> 1 package (3 yds) of 7/8″ double fold bias tape for the straps/waistband<br /> Thread</p> <p> <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/30/may-pie-strawberry/#more-7698" class="more-link">Read more on May Pie: Strawberry…</a></p> </div> </div>  <div class="bar"> <div class="share">  <a class="share-twitter" onclick="window.open('http://twitter.com/home?status=May Pie: Strawberry - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/30/may-pie-strawberry/','twitter','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=May Pie: Strawberry - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/30/may-pie-strawberry/" title="May Pie: Strawberry" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>  <a class="share-facebook" onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/30/may-pie-strawberry/','facebook','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/30/may-pie-strawberry/" title="May Pie: Strawberry" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> <a class="share-google" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/30/may-pie-strawberry/" onclick="window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/30/may-pie-strawberry/','gplusshare','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i></a> <a onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/30/may-pie-strawberry/&media=&description=May Pie: Strawberry','MyWindow','width=600,height=400'); return false;" style="cursor:pointer;" target="_blank" id="pinterest-share"><i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="masonr"> <div class="post post-7693 type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-crafts category-home category-sewing tag-crafts tag-decorating tag-patio tag-sewing">   <div class="clear"></div> <div class="frame"> <div class="title-wrap"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/29/big-patio-pillows/" title="Big Patio Pillows">Big Patio Pillows</a></h2> <div class="title-meta"> <span><i class="fa fa-user"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/author/admin/" title="Posts by jackie" rel="author">jackie</a></span> <span><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/05/29/">May 29, 2011</a></span> <span class="categories"><i class="fa fa-align-justify"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/making/crafts/" rel="category tag">Crafts</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/family-life/home/" rel="category tag">Home</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/making/sewing/" rel="category tag">Sewing</a></span> <span class="tags"><i class="fa fa-tag"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/crafts/" rel="tag">Crafts</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/decorating/" rel="tag">decorating</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/patio/" rel="tag">patio</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/sewing/" rel="tag">Sewing</a></span> </div> </div> <div class="post-content"> <p><a href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0764.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-7695" title="bigpatiopillows" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0764-590x421.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="421" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0764-590x421.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0764-300x214.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0764.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p> <p>I wanted to make some nice big pillows for the <a title="Anniversary Weekend Shenanigans" href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/?p=7643">new chaises</a> we bought for the patio.

People seem to have the science of BEA-going nailed down to precise Swiss-inspired movements, but I stumble around from booth to booth gawking at beloved authors and grabbing bags. And donuts.

But I’ve only been to BEA once before, and that was 2 years ago. I’m out of practice, and I haven’t perfected my technique.
