Grillin' times

It's summer and the grills are fired up.  Quick simple meals are hitting the spot. 

I decided to fire up my sewing machine and make my two boys grilling' aprons.  I have a Butterick pattern from the 1980s for the perfect grillin' apron.  And to top it off, it's quick and easy.

This apron I gave it to my youngest son on his birthday - June 21st.  Happy birthday Bill.

My eldest son will get his apron soon.  It's waiting to see him.

Both boys are good cooks so I'm looking forward to be invited for an outdoor grilled dinner.

Summertime and Watermelons

 The first day of summer has finally arrived.  Unfortunately, the temps here in northern Michigan haven't arrived with daytime highs in the 50s and nighttime lows in the mid 30s it feels like fall.  But regardless, I'm pushing forward in summer mode.  

When I think of summer, watermelon comes to mind as one of my top favorites.  For my two new grandchildren I decided to celebrate summer by making them matching watermelon fabric outfits.  

So the fashion show begins

Now this is a kid that loves watermelon too.  Probably a little more than me.  I've never sat in a tub of watermelon while I was eating it.

Summer is surely a fun time.  Now bring on the heat.
