The Summer List

This post is a reminder of things that I would like to do over the summer. Things to make, projects around the house, and fun things I would like to do. 

1. Make red gingham drapes for the living/dining room.
2. Go to the beach.
3. Make a new style pincushion.

4. Make a granny square blanket.
5. Soak City!
6. Make a new ironing board cover with CUTE fabric.

7. Clean out and organize the sewing room.
8. Take walks.
9. Drink lots of iced coffee.
10. Trip to the zoo.
11. Plan a 4th of July getaway.
12. Cook out on the grill.
13. Go to an Indians game.

14. Visit the Botanical garden.
15. Trip to the Lake Erie islands.

16. Plant some herbs and zinnias.
17. Go to the County Fair. Eat cotton candy!
18. Stop at a farmers market for fresh corn.

19. Make a vintage sheet quilt.
20. Paint the front porch.

I am sure there are other things that I have mentioned, and will probably add to this list as the summer progresses.

Do you have a summer list?

  1. No, I don't have a list, but yours sure is inspiring! I think I would get a lot more done if I had some things written down, instead of things just floating around in my head!

    I like #9. I drank my first iced coffee about 3 weeks ago and I loved it. It certainly won't be my last!

  3. I always have a list but I really like yours! This will be my first summer that I don't work so hopefully I will be able to cross a few things off my list. Patty

  6. I haven't written my want to do's on a list, it's all just floating around in my head. Maybe a list would be better! Ha Your list looks great, looking forward to following along.

  7. I've been thinking about making a quilt from vintage sheets for a while now. I've really loved all the ones I've seen. There's something so sweet about them.

    I just want to work in the garden (headed home in 2 days) and clean and sort my house.

  10. Good idea, that list of yours. I think I share a few of your to dos, especially the "make a new ironing board cover", walking and iced coffee. Also the cotton candy, cooking on the grill and going to the beach. Oh heck, can I just cut and paste your list?

  15. I cannot believe you are talking about iced coffee! That means you have heat and maybe warm sunshine! It is so cold here in England. I do love your sunny sunflowers, they remind me of Van Gogh paintings.

  16. Hi Debbie,
    Sounds like a busy, FUN, and productive summer! :-) I hope you make great progress on your list, and if you get around to the gingham drapes and the vintage sheet quilt, I'll be anxious for photos! Both of those sound right up my alley!

  17. Your going to have a busy summer, remember all work and no play makes for no sewing. Have fun, especially at the Indians game and Lake Erie. i was raised in Cuyahoga Falls and Fremont, Ohio. Once an Ohio girl, always an Ohio girl!

  18. Hi Debbie--Love your blog, by the way and your beautiful projects. Curious how to crochet in a circle. will have to look that up. I have lists, but only in my mind at this point...need to put them on paper. Love the things you are planning. I would have to Cincinnati Reds game since I am in the southern part of the great State of O-H-I-O!!!
