Free Friday: Watermelon Coasters

Oh, where did the weekend go!?  I know I saw it on Friday, but then WHOOSH, it was gone!  Do you guys every have that problem too?  It seems like summers are the worst for losing weekends, which is a shame because I want them to really last!  In the winter, weekends drag on for centuries it seems like, probably because there's less to do and fewer fun things to look forward to.

Anyway, so I realize this post is three days late, but I hope you all like this pattern anyway!  It's a cute adaptation to the last pattern I posted, the Summery Citrus Coasters.  It's essentially the same pattern, with just some color changes.  It's amazing how well that worked out!  And just like the citrus coasters, these ones also double as a wide mouth mason jar lid.

Hubs and I are driving out to Maine this Friday for a week long beach vacation!  Doesn't that sound exciting!?  I'm soooo excited.  So that means I probably won't have a new pattern this upcoming Friday, but I really want to refocus and get back into blogging more regularly when I get back.  So keep your eyes peeled for new posts in August!
