Summer has arrived in Arizona with a force! With a high of 113 degrees today I had to start the warm weather drinks with a delicious punch. I created it by blending strawberries, which seem to be on sale everywhere right now, with lemons and adding Stevia to sweeten. It can be enjoyed as is for the young or a touch of grown up cocktail juice such as vodka can be splashed in! Serve over ice and enjoy!
I was inspired by the simple pattern of the Little Dresses for Africa project. So I made a pillow case style dress for the project and I made a ‘dress up’ dress for The Short One using scraps I had around the studio. It was a fun weekend project and hopefully made two little girls happy. The directions are HERE.
Here is the dress up dress I made from scraps
I am teaching a hands on screen printing workshop for freezer paper screen printing, and for the YUDU screen-printer. This is a super fun and messy creative process, so bring an apron the rest of the supplies will be provided. This workshop is for tweens and will be held in Glendale, AZ at the Sahuaro Ranch Park in the Historic fruit Packing Shed. To sign up visit: The City of Glendale

The work on the backyard garden continues. I was standing at the window looking outside from my pantry and baking studio overlooks my garden and the other day I was thinking I should put in a window box planter. Then I realized the wall was stucco and metal framed so installing a planter box would prove difficult. The Tall One has a lot of old reclaimed boards around so I asked for one he wasn’t using and combined with cable wire I created an instant Hanging Garden Shelf. I am so thrilled with how simple it was and how great it looks! I am in love with this rough old farm board!
