Well, it's definitely summer now. A bit of a cool one here so far.
We went to the zoo recently. It's one of my favorite things to do in the summer.
This is Jake, my favorite animal there.

The geese are back too.

The pattern this week was inspired by a gift I got recently of onigiri molds and other bento lunch supplies. I hope you enjoy it!
In Friday evening chat, we were talking about food last week. I'd love to try graphing some foodie earring patterns, any suggestions or requests?
