Brings new things!
A rainy weekend meant that I spent more time indoors (and got a jump on the week’s tasks!) But that is okay because have a bit of a pattern puzzle to put together and some tools to find! (Hello, grommet setter!)
So thanks to that weekend rain, my Monday is abnormally free!
Summer is just rolling right along and I am shocked at how quickly it is going. Too quickly, so last night I reminded myself that I have a summery top in process… I made some good progress while watching Dr. Death with Steve last night. Neither of us knew anything about this before watching but Joshua Jackson piqued our interest! We binged 3 episodes which helped me get closer to the Great Sleeve Divide on my sweater. I have an inch or so to go, so that should take no time at all (and can be my reward for putting my puzzle together! lol)
The only other “bonus” thing from the weekend was perfecting a cocktail Steve found. I thought it was too sweet with the Agave (and tasted a bit margarita-ish as well) But I am growing some gorgeous Pineapple Basil that is HUGE so I made a simple syrup that I steeped about a dozen basil leaves in. It is the perfect addition for the cocktail… with it it was not too sweet and the flavors pair beautifully with the cocktail. I think Thai Basil would pair well also!
And with that, I am off to begin cutting out my pattern pieces to put them all together! I hope your weekend was full of good things!
Looks like you have some fun and interesting projects for the week. The cocktail sounds interesting, but I’m not sure about the condensed milk part of it…I know it’s only a half oz or so, but man I dislike that stuff so much!!!
Oooh, I am excited to see your field bag! You’ll have to let me know if it’s a beginner-friendly bag. I suspect it’s not too difficult, but the grommets are a bit intimidating.
Pineapple basil simple syrup cocktail? Um… Yum.
Have a nice slow week!

Oh! A Field Bag! All the heart eyes!!!
And what a nice feeling to have an open and free Monday – a great way to start the week 🙂
Have a good one, Kat!
Can’t wait to see your Field Bag! It looks like such a great design. 🙂
I look forward to seeing your sewing (and other) projects take shape. Simple syrups flavored with garden herbs and plants are so much fun to make and enjoy. I have never grown pineapple basil but it sounds intriguing.
