What a fun bag, I love the nautical theme. In the summer, I like to walk by the ocean and enjoy the water. The atmosphere is always so different near the water, its very peaceful.

I love going to the beach and digging my toes into the sand and reading a great book-- although great in the variety of brain rotting is my personal preference for the beach!

The thing I love most about warm weather is... warm weather! I live in Wisconsin, so after a long winter it is bliss to be able to go outside without bundling up!

free indeed said...

Love the purse and especially the scraps as I am a scrap quilter! Summer faves: hanging laundry...I LOVE HANGING LAUNDRY; I can't wait for winter to be over to I can hang laundry outside...in winter I hand laundry over the wood furnace vent...no as nice as outside fresh! I love sitting in the sun to warm up...our house stays so cool I'm chilled all the time. AND I love eating fresh swiss chard from the garden...that is the first thing I look forward to!

We are just coming into the cold wintery months now(in Aust) so warm weather fun is just a memory now.. but I do love to take my son and a good book to the park so he can ride and i can relax for a just a moment, oh and dinner picnics in the backyard as the sun as setting. Beautiful bag and endless possibilities with all those little sweet scraps.

sb said...

What a lovely bag and great material to go with it! It may be cliche, but I love BBQ picnics in the park. It's sometimes a hassle to pack up everything to take, but I love BBQing on those grills at the park, sitting under a tree, and having a nice, relaxing evening outside.

Thank you for your great giveaway :)

Spending time with friends & family outdoors is a fav here!
thanks

Carolyn said...

What a cute bag!

My favorite warm weather activity is gardening. Really hot weather? Inside in the air conditioning.

Thanks for the great giveaway!

A Joyful Chaos said...

My favorite thing to do in warm weather is sit in my air conditioned house at my computer or sewingroom sipping on pink lemonade. It's too hot to do anything outside. It was 97 yesterday and they want even warmer today by at least 10 degrees. Sigh. I think I should move to Alaska.
I would love to be the happy winner for this sweet giveaway!

DarlingAlana said...

My favorite thing to do in the summer is sit outside with a good book, and my feet in a kiddie pool. Maybe a strawberry daiquiri too?

Emily Gusba said...

My fave thing to do in the warm weather is to be outside with my friends or family. As long as we're hanging out, laughing, and I'm wearing my flip flops, I'm happy! Thanks for the chance to win such a great prize.

Anonymous said...

Cute bag! Cute fabric!

In warm weather I like a tall glass of iced tea and a cool pool with a nice book!

lholy-chan said...

During warm weather I love to go swimming whenever I get the chance. Or read a nice book in the shade with a glass of peach ice tea.
Thank you for this giveaway! :)

Elizabeth said...

you are hitting my long-standing and completely unfounded (grew up in wisconsin) romance with all things nautical right between the eyes! :) oh, and the scraps...i heart the scrappiness...

School of Crafts said...

Oh I just LOVE warm weather!!! My favorite thing to do has to be to sit out in the balcony with a nice cold beverage, sunglasses on, and good music in the background. And the only thing that would make those few hours even better would be a good friend to chat it up with.

Love the giveaway!!!
-Natalie

undeadgoat said...

I really like reading in the sun in the summer. And your scraps are gorgeous--count me in!

Mindee A. (llamaface29@yahoo.com) said...

Karen said...

What a fabulous give away! My favorite thing to do in the summer is to run outside (first thing in the morning) and not on a treadmill inside.

Tina said...

When the weather gets warm we love spending time at the park!

Anonymous said...

First I must tell you that I have a Memere too. I hardly ever fine anyone else who has a Memere. One of my favorite things to do when it is warm is to swim.

Knitlee said...

Ali said...

What a great giveaway!
I live near Houston, TX, so we do everything in warm weather ;) I like berry picking and eating Blue Bell ice cream and growing vegetables in my backyard. I love watching my kids swinging and chasing grasshoppers and digging in the dirt.

Libby said...

I love the structure of this bag !

Sarah DeSalvo said...

In warm weather I love to just be outside enjoying the sunshine!

Jasmine said...

I love being about to go for walks in the evening. You can't do that in winter without hassle. And the hours of the day are longer in summer too!

Sandra @ Pepperberry & Co. said...

Hmmm... I hate the warm weather, so my favourite thing to do is escape to somewhere very cool with a tall glass of homemade lemonade and a good book. Then I just wait until summer's over and I can come back out into the world!!

Suze said...

Aloha, everyday is a warm day here. There is no real distinction. I would do what I always do. Hang out under our ceiling fan to keep cool. The Hawaiian sun is strong.

Rachelle @ Aud and Crafts said...

My favorite thing to do in the warm weather is to go outdoors and take photos. It may be pictures of flowers, people, dogs, the ocean, boats, people, etc.

This giveaway is wonderful, thanks for the generosity!

cheekypoet said...

Love the bag.

My favourite thing to do in summer is digging sandcastles in the sand at the beach.

Anonymous said...

Not to have to wear all that winter gear!! Mostly I love the long days.

Tiffany said...

My favorite thing to do in the warm weather is push my son in his backyard swing. It hangs from a huge maple tree in our yard and the branches are low enough that when we're at the swing, it's almost like being in our own little shaded tree house. We can see out and watch the neighbors, but they can't really see us. They know we're there though, because we like to sing songs while we're swinging! It's the best place to be because the air is warm and we can see the sun shining, but we're shaded by all the leaves!

Lil' Bit Sassy said...

I have a few favorite things I like to do in warm weather. One is to sit out on my deck and read while I watch/listen to the birds at the bird feeders. Another thing I like to do is sew outside--so relaxing!! And yet a third thing I like to do is jump on the bike and take a ride up to my honey's buddy's cottage on Lake Erie.

Annwen said...

Oh, lovely....

My favourite thing to do in warm weather is to have picnics in the park. Such fun...

Ilona said...

Oh, how lovely! The bag alone is already great, but with those squares inside it's even better :)

Goosefeather said...

Mmm, warm weather favorites are: sweet iced tea to cool down, dinner al fresco, reading in the shade of the yard, playing outside in the evening, long walks...shall I stop now? I've got more...really!

Mary said...

Awesome giveaway! When the weather is warm, I take the family to the beach to play - can't wait until the weather gets hot!

DBuckelew said...

My most favorite thing to do in warm weather is picnic in the shade under the walnut trees in our orchard with our grandchildren. Thanks for the chance to win!

Kassia said...

If it's not too humid or buggy....I'm usually outside with my kidlets, with my feet in the baby pool lol! The kids love running through the sprinkler and bouncing between there and the pool. :)

heather said...

I love to take my little girl to the pool and throw her up in the air and see her face glow with glee when she splashes back in the water :)

Louisa said...

i like to go walking in warm weather. or laze around in the shade

mub said...

I love being able to toss food on the grill in the summer!

kelliemorgan said...

Thanks so much. My favorite thing to do is anything that involves getting out with my son, the zoo, the pool, all wonderful. Thanks so much!

Julia Marie said...

I love to go backpacking! But not when its too too hot

Tanya said...

The beach! We are going on vacation in a couple months and can't wait to go everyday!

Anonymous said...

What a popular giveaway! Are you tired of reading the comments? In warm weather-I just like to be outside, but it is especially nice to visit cute shops down town and visit the local farmer's market with hubby and baby :)

sewlittlequilts(at)gmail(dot)com

I will cross my fingers and hope the random generator likes especially high numbers! (if that's how you choose)

Collette said...

Wonderful giveaway and I love that the bag isn't too girly so I could carry it full of toddler boy things. My favorite thing to do in the warm weather is pretty boring--I love eating outside. Of course, I live in a high-rise in Chicago so this means lots of dining out. So sad!

And my husband and I looked at that cargo bike as well. Since he already has 3 bikes (don't ask--he justifies it by commuting to work daily) and I have one, I couldn't stand the thought of one more. But, he's definitely still lobbying!

Bec Clarke said...

Nice bag. I am still trying to make mine perfect

Stacy said...

That is an awesome bag! My favorite thing to do in the warm weather is to enjoy it outside with our little ones!

amy dame said...

my absolute favourite thing to do in the warm weather is actually once it's cooled off a bit! i LOVE being outside on summer evenings, it still smells hot, and you're totally comfy cuddling up outside with a friends to sit in the dark and chat or to read under the porch light. i often stay up way too late in the sumer, because i can't bear the thought of going inside!

marcela said...

I'm also not a fan of hot weather. I like it cooler. To wear a sweater, warm coat and socks, a hat. I like to knit and don't seem to get so much knitting with cotton! maybe a good research of a summer pattern would be a good idea. mmm... might head that way now.

Having said that. PICNICS is my favorite thing if I have to have warm weather.

but thank you so very much for the chance to win this beautiful bag.
