Oh how I wish we were having more hot sun this summer! I know I shouldn’t complain about rain on the prairies, but it has just been such a wet spring & summer so far. I could count on one hand the number of “hot” days we’ve had. That’s just sad. So here’s a little cheery button project to wear once the sun decides to come out and stay. Make as many pairs of these simple flip flops as you like, in a rainbow of colours! Super inexpensive project. All you need are a pair of cheap flip flops, a bit of scrap fabric, a hot glue gun, a bit of thread, and buttons (duh). The full tutorial can be found here.

Green things
How about a little tour of our veggie garden? I can’t take any credit for this. My hubby is the green thumb and mastermind behind it all. I lend a hand where I can (plant some seeds here & there, weed a bit, mostly protect plants from a very curious baby boy). I do get to enjoy the benefits of all this, though. Tasty salads, caramelized radishes, roasted broccoli, lots of fresh green onions. Looking forward to the peas (my favourite), beans, tomatoes, oh and the squash! Here’s hoping the hail holds off.
Four fab finds
Summer time means ice cream time. Although, truth be told, I enjoy ice cream even in the dead of winter (it doesn’t melt as quickly). Here’s some fun finds to help you enjoy your treat time, even after it’s all gone:
1. Three ice creams print by Heather Future (fellow Calgarian)
2. Lace doily wooden ice cream spoons by Red Elephant
3. Mini parfait glass from Little Cleo at Home (fellow Etsy Alberta teamie)
4. Waffle cone felt ice cream by Milk Fly
