{this moment} at the river

One fabulous moment that I want to savor and remember... 

have a great weekend! I'll be on vacation next week...

snow hike to the river with buddies

raspberry river walk

Summer brings such wonderful gifts, like these juicy snacks, right there on the riverbank as we walk along. Fyn wasn't too sure about the first one, a few days ago, but today, he ate every single one I could pick. After those two handfuls, he still wanted more. We looked and looked, but there were no more to be found.


Usually there are more, but gypsy moth caterpillars ate a lot of the plants this spring. Speaking of caterpillars, we saw this cute little guy today. Luckily, he did not seem the least bit interested in our sweet treasure.

revamped river coveralls

Clothes for little boys are so hard to find! Either they are way too "cutesy" or the colors don't work for me. One of my friends found these Guess coveralls and passed them along to me.
I added fabric to the collar and cuffs, with extra fabric inside the bottom 3" of the hem, so they show when turned up.
To cover up the wording on the back, I made a scenic patch from felted wool scraps on the back, showing our favorite spot at the river.
