Okay, okay. I know that there is another week of official summer and then we in the lovely Pacific Northwest usually have another several weeks of blue skies before the rain starts. But- I’ve been absent for so long that I feel like I should start the summer wrap-up now since I’ve been busy the last 2 months.
Let’s begin.
We went on Baby’s First Camping Trip and it was a ton of fun and way easier than I thought camping with sesame would be. We were at the beautiful Lake Selmac in southern Oregon.
Sesame had her first encounter with blackberries and they turned her into a blackberry monster!
Mike and I picked a ton of fruit (57 pounds of peaches alone!) while sesame just ate the berries and got good and dirty. We did a ton of jam-making, canning and freezing. Come on over in February and we’ll serve you some delicious peach pie!
I entered some knitting in the state fair and everything got a ribbon! The empty space on the bottom right should have a picture of this cardigan (it got 3rd) but somehow it didn’t make it onto flickr.
We went on camping trip #2 and braved a cold, drizzly weekend at Cape Lookout with 5 other families and 7 kids.
We did a lot of playing and I knitted and, oh yeah, worked full time and made stuff for my etsy shop.
That was a busy 2 months!!
Next up- what I knitted this summer.
What a wonderful summer! I’m glad you’re feeling better. Still enjoying my owl coffee cozy immensely. Love the pics of the blackberry monster
glad you’re back!
You had such a great summer, and some amazing photos to remember it by! Sesame is such a little sweetie!
found your blog from an Etsy forum. It’s alot of fun to read and your knitting is amazing. I want to learn but I’m all over the place already and I’m afraid I would become completely addicted and never stop! lol
That bucket of blueberries is heaven btw!
