TL;DR In blueprints, always wrap associations in blocks.

# Broken
Task.blueprint(:vacation) do
  project Project.make(:vacation)
  hours 8
  accounting_method 'none'
end
# Correct
Task.blueprint(:vacation) do
  project { Project.make(:vacation) }
  hours 8
  accounting_method 'none'
end

Without the block, Project.make will only run once when the blueprint is parsed (usually when RSpec is loaded), which is not what you want.
