Watermelon basket 🍉

I went thrifting today and found this whimsical a** watermelon basket 😭‼️♥️.

This is my watermelon basket! I really like how it came out! It has similar purpose to my watermelon hammock, but it looks more like a basket than a mini hammock. I finished this after we harvested our watermelons. Whoops. I guess we’ll use them next year then.

What was originally a way to help me keep track of how long I was making the sides, became those little leaves! I’d explain it, but the Tumblr app has deleted this post twice now, so this would be the third time that I’d have to type all this out. Yeah that’s too many times.

Matching watermelon shopping set! I’ve had two of the reusable shark bags for awhile (I’m never gonna get over how cute they are btw) so I was jazzed to stumble across the watermelon round, which insulated and very roomy.

Today we made watermelon baskets! This watermelon basket was easy to make nd was delicious to eat. We had to carve out the shape of the basket, then had to ball out the insides of the watermelon to fill it up again. I loved balling out the inside because it made the watermelon more appealing and easy to eat.

Father's Day at Home

Last week happened to be both Father's Day and my dad's birthday, so my mom, sisters and I made some of his favorite foods for a nice dinner at home. Crowding around the kitchen all afternoon, with an end result of a three course dinner complete with cake = happy Saturday in my book.

Our menu:

Simple mixed greens salad

Roasted brussels sprouts - a really simple, yet amazing recipe

Potatoes au gratin

Codfish

Watermelon basket

Strawberry & yogurt bundt cake - for this recipe & some mouth-watering pictures, check out my sister's new blog! This cake was really, really good.

I'm not very sentimental and can never write long cards (although I love receiving them), so instead I wrote my dad a poem. 

Happy father's day & birthday again, dad!
