Looking Back at July
Woah, guys! Can you believe it's August? It's kind of blowing my mind. July was a super busy, but great month for me, and was full of lots of projects and fun activities. Looking back at July, I thought I'd share some of my favorite things from last month.
I had an awesome time picking raspberries with my friend, Kate, at the beginning of July! This led to lots of tasty treats like my Raspberry Brownies, and Raspberry Lemonade. Yum!
I worked on some fun DIY projects, like this Emrboirdered Tea Towel, as well as a Fabric Flower Belt and my new favorite Arrow Tote.
I tried out a couple of recipes for my friends' wedding cupcakes. First I tried out some PB&J Cupcakes, then I made these Lemon Blackberry Cupcakes, which were so good that they warranted no additional test runs or recipes! I'm looking forward to making a good 80 of them for the wedding next weekend!
I continued my summer love affair with the farmers market, and made a couple of my favorite summer recipes: Apricot Preserves and Goat Cheese Stuffed Squash Blossoms.
Looking back, I also wore a ton of stripes this month! You can check out some stripe-y outfits here, here, and here!
Also new at the end of July, I opened up my blog for sponsorship! If you are interested in sponsoring my blog, you can visit my Sponsor Page for more information. All ads purchased in August are 30% off with the code, THANKYOU30.
Last, but not least, a big thank you to all of you amazing readers! I was overwhelmed with how many sweet comments you guys left for me in July and so appreciate you reading my blog. Ya'll have made me feel incredibly welcome here in this little corner of the internet, and I can't thank you enough for it.
Did you guys have a nice July? I hope so! I can't wait to share more with you in August!
Til next time!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Juni! Blogging has been great for unleashing my creative side!
DeleteYou've had a really busy month! (Me too, I'm pooped!). Love this little reminder of all the great stuff you've posted. Congrats again on getting sponsorship!
ReplyDeleteYes, ma'am! Hopefully we'll both get a good breather soon. Thank you so much, Marlene!
Deletethat tea towel is super adorable but I was distracted by that YUMMY looking bowl of sherbet! i wish there were farmers markets around me :(
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks, Brittney. I know, it's tough to look at embroidery with a delicious bowl of sherbet there, too! That's a shame that there aren't any farmers markets near you. Maybe if you do some research you can find one in a neighboring city!
DeleteWOW ... I think this blog is incredibly creative! I love the projects you feature!! You have a true artistic flair in the blog design - and your writing is inviting and welcoming!!
ReplyDeleteWell, make a girl blush, why don't ya! Thank you so much!
DeleteYour July was all about fruit and vegetables! I really want to eat one of those squash blossoms. I've never had one. Good luck with your sponsors! I have no idea what blog sponsoring is lol.
