kittens and popsicles

I’m super excited at Ethel’s news this week: Portland’s beloved Knittn Kitten has a new Etsy shop — perfect for those who can’t get to the brick and mortar shop often enough!

In other news, I made these lovely raspberry-yogurt popsicles this week after we picked berries a couple times, and they have been a huge hit. Two thumbs up for sure. Next I want to try Caitlin‘s trick of using blueberries instead — and speaking of, I made this all-time favorite again last week (with Pearl’s help) and it was amazing as always.

Once summer finally kicked in around here, it’s been so nice to be outside. I’m happy to have lots of squash flowers and four baby zucchinis (and counting, hopefully), a whole bunch of green tomatoes coming along, more kale than we can keep up with, and a freezer full of berries. Two-year-olds and relaxing stretches of sewing time aren’t so compatible, but cooking with my little apprentice has been fun lately!

  1. I have a bunch of chard that I have been eating – =) YUM!

    • Yay! We just have a medium amount of chard (six small plants) but it’s been so good. I would love to plant more next year!

  2. Love this! I have some of those molds and have been making iced tea pops and coffee pops, and looking for something sweet to make the perfect popsicle and here it is!

    Plus, blueberry yumminess!

    Thanks, Susan!

    Glad to hear you have such a able and eager helper in the kitchen!

    • I hope you like them as much as I do – they’re pretty hippie and not super sweet, but SO good when it’s hot out!

  3. Thanks for posting the Knittin Kitten’s Etsy shop! I didn’t know they were anywhere online. I moved away from Portland and this is one of the gems I miss so much! That place is so Portland- and I always feel like I’m treasure hunting there. I loved the walk down memory lane, but I also love the fact that memory lane is now available in part online!

    • Hooray! I love the Kitten too. I made something (little snack bags) with a strawberry fabric from there today. At least half of my favorite things in my stash are from that store!

  4. [...] Oh boy, the Knittn’ Kitten of Portland is now on Etsy! (via Susan) [...]
