My favorite thing to do in summer? Toast marshmallows with the fam in the backyard. Hands down.

My niece's 4th birthday is on the 4th of July (come to think of it, her birthday falls on the 4th of July every year...) and I know your garland would make a sweet decoration each year for her party.

Oooohhh I love garlands, fingers crossed for your lovely pattern :-) My favourite thing to do in summer is sit in the garden with a nice cup of tea with my husband and the boys and watch all the wallabies that come to eat the nice sweet grass in our horse paddock. We have a community of about 20 now and they are great to watch.
Kate said…
I've always loved garlands but never tried to make one. That one would look perfect on my porch for the 4th of July and a book on how to make more would be really cool!

cute garland! I love making s'mores in the summer. and eating watermelon. and being warm outside
Cute American Garland!!! We live in Northern Idaho, so it's not real warm for every long, so we take advantage of the heat and go to the beach pretty much every day. I love the things my kids invent to do there.

I've been wanting to make some holiday garlands for the past couple of years. Thanks for reminding and giving me the nudge.

Oh yeah...during the summer, I absolutely love getting up early, before anyone else in the house, and enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck.

Lovely giveaway. I enjoy taking trips with my family. It is always fun to get away. We all seem to enjoy each others company. Thanks for entering me :-)
Jerri said…
I love these! I was considering something patriotic to make to hang in the house, what a perfect answer. Either your handmade one, or the pattern would be awesome! In the summer, I like to be cool. The sprinklers at the park are nice for the kids. What we do more often is have a ton of little children over to play inside which gets too loud and the mommies don't get to chat as much as we'd like.
Robin D. said…
my favorite summer thing is growing veggies in my garden, and then eating them! i also love shopping at farmer's markets! thanks for this great giveaway, your garlands are lovely!
Sue said…
My favorite thing to do for summer is host an extended family "Regatta" on the 24th of July where we make homemade sailboats and race them in my parents pool. We have prizes, trophies, T-Shirts. It is so fun. This garland would be awesome for my party!!! xoxo Sue

Would love to win this pattern. I can't do anything w/o a pattern! I spend four hours a week in a pickup so I have lots of time to read in the summer. Otherwise I'm sewing (or reading blogs). Thanks for the giveaway!
Victoria said…
My very favorite thing to do in the summer is sitting on the patio after the sun goes down surrounded by friends and family and sharing the stories of our days over apps and wine.

I like having bonfires and toasting marshmallows. They are great if you put one on a LU petit ecolier cookie. (hope I spelled that right, it's a cookie with a layer of chocolate, milk, dark, extra dark or hazelnut) and playing in the sprinklers with my kids. Thank you for the chance to win the garland, it will be great for a 4th of July party!

Oh, this is so pretty and so perfect for the holidays! I am excited to check out your garland book! and for the chance to win it too.
My favorite thing to do in summer is nothing big, I just enjoy the extra time to play and explore with my kids, and the extra long sunlight hours to sit outside or at the beach on a balmy evening.
thanks so much
