In the longer days of summer, my dog Beans and I enjoy early morning walks before the sun gets to hot for her (and me!). I am usually listening to a podcast and often start my morning with “What a Day”, but lately I’ve been listening to “Field Trip” in which I’ve appreciated the “journey through the messy past and uncertain future of America’s national parks.”
This summer I challenged myself to a “less screen time summer” and have been learning embroidery thanks to workshops from Clever Poppy, a New Zealand based maker and a local Michigander I found on TikTok, Sherwood Forest Creations. I’ve completed a few beginner projects already and have more in the works! I actually love buying all the cute supplies too….
I’m a sunset, firepit and sweatshirt-after-dark kind of summer girl, and in the evenings, you will find us sitting by the flames, with something fun in our glass and a cozy throw on our laps. These glasses were a gift and I think they look like beach glass by the water in the evening sun. Cheers!”
