Hello friends and happy September! 🍂
I'm joining Amy from the blog, Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa, for her Currently link-up. It's held on the first Wednesday of each month.
We will be sharing this month: Adjusting to, Baking/Cooking, Decorating, Balancing, and Learning.
ADJUSTING TO: I'm adjusting to it getting darker at night and the end of August. I can't believe it's the beginning of September. I am trying to clean out closets and donate clothes to Goodwill. I will be transitioning my wardrobe to fall clothes. I have two bags of clothes and coats to donate. I hope to do more!
BAKING/COOKING: I haven't been baking lately. We are trying to be good right now after having a fun summer of eating ice cream. Although I do love eating pumpkin bread/muffins and apple bread/muffins for fall. I may bake once the weather cools off.
DECORATING: I have been crocheting pumpkins to decorate my mantel in my living room and kitchen. I love giving them to my daughter and her friends too. I like decorating my stoop planter with fall flowers.
BALANCING: I thought that we would've done more grilling this summer than we did. We didn't because I was on vacation in London with my daughter in June; July, I went on vacation with my husband to the Bahamas; and in August, we took a family vacation to the Jersey Shore. I want to get back to eating healthy meals and meal planning. I love making soups and Italian dishes, and I will also incorporate Hello Fresh meals for a while at least twice a week. I love that I have two meals that I know what I'll be making, and everything that I need for the meals gets delivered to my house. I'm hoping to get on a more regular schedule with the gym and get back into blogging more and visiting blogs.
LEARNING: I love crocheting seasonal items like this crochet pumpkin I made recently.
I love making crochet projects with new free patterns. I like finding crochet patterns from bloggers, Pinterest, and Instagram. I have bought some crochet patterns on Etsy. The details on how to make this pumpkin is here. I love decorating my mantel and the kitchen with these pumpkins. I usually use leftover yarn in different colors.
What is currently new with you?

Your pumpkins are adorable. How fun to make them yourself. Hope all is going well. Summer is coming to an end even though it does not feel like it! We have been close to 100 the last few days. Have a great week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteDarling little pumpkins Julie. It sounds like you have had a great summer. This week has cooled off quite a bit. It will get hot again later. Happy September.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's September either! I don't like that it's getting dark earlier and earlier. I love your crocheted pumpkins! We haven't used our grill much either. Only once the whole summer! I hope you're having a great week!
