The pool got used, we got tan, and the we blinked and fall weather was upon us.
I cut off sides, sleeves and front of an old t-shirt. Left the neck part (cut in the middle front) to tie it. Instant cape.
Our soon-to-be preschooler is very in to princesses.
I made a crown. She was Ariel.
Extremely fancy!
I took the canopy [that never stayed in the ceiling above my girl's bed] and hung it from a tree in the backyard. We put down a few blankets underneath, and the kids read books and played in a "Princess bed" for a few days.
I found this cute face on the electrical box in front of our house. Hello, stoneface!
...that was all I have to say. Haven't been very creative lately - our baby learned how to crawl so there goes any calm that was left. I'm oddly enough looking forward to crafting and sewing in the fall. ...and fall is right around the corner. Gorgeous berries glowing in the backyard now...
I remember picking these at home in Sweden when I was little. Mom would make jelly from them. They say "home" to me.

Haha - the reason we picked those berries was because of some funny idea I got; because I'd read about it in a book. Mom DID make jelly from them, but it didn't taste nearly as sweet and tasty as her black currant jelly... This kind was kinda sour/bitter. :D But it sure was fun picking them...I think we filled a couple of plastic bags! :D
We picked everything you can possible pick! And mom made something out of everything! Amazing. Don't know how she had the time or energy?? Good stuff thou! Next spring I'm gonna attempt Elderberry juice! Got to pick the flowers when they are blooming!,I'll send the kids to do that ;)
