We've spent so many hot days at the river over the summer, including Spencer's birthday at the Washougal. It was such a fun day! Weather is still in the 90's, and we are all longing for A/C at this point. It turns out, cold water in a spray bottle is the next best thing.
The only craft related projects I've worked on all summer have been a few knitted ones. I knitted a hat (which still needs to be blocked before I can get a good photo) and some matching fingerless gloves (those I am still working on). At least I can share a few photos of the lovely yarn!
I stumbled upon a super cute store here in Portland, which happens to be right down the street from my new home. It's called Artemisia. I had never thought about making terrariums in the past, but I was sold on the idea the second I walked through the door. With that said, I now have a new hobby. I'll share my two first terrariums.
Spencer and I went berry picking at Sauvie Island a few weeks back, which resulted in a freezer full off berries. I've been enjoying frozen mixed berry smoothies, and I also made a mixed berry crumble!
Cupcake and I had a nice long walk, and a rest in the grass at the Lone Fir Cemetery today. It was so nice to get out of the sun for a while, and sit in the shade in the cool grass.
I've been excited about this sunny hot weather all summer, but I am also kind of glad it's coming to an end. I'm so ready for this!
I was inspired, and made these. Yum! Now I am really craving apple cider and pumpkin spice lattes.
xo, S.
