Motivational Wallpaper – Stop Scrolling – Summer Edition

Last year, I made a background for my phone that said Stop scrolling – do this instead with some images on activities that I could do instead of being on my phone.

I remember it was during a season that I was really busy as a mom and I had to find some time every day to recharge. It is so easy to use the little time that we are given to spend as we wish on our phones.

Stop Scrolling Motivational Wallpaper

I think I need a reminder of not spending the few minutes I get in the evening when the kids are sleeping on my phone, so I made this iPhone wallpaper with the same message, but this time with more summery activities.

Summertime brings other opportunities to be creative than winter. These last few years, I have been planting some vegetables from seed in the spring. Last year I planted some tomatoes and none of the plants survived.

I got excited to put them out on the balcony when the weather got warmer in May, but the cold of the night made them all die.

Summery Creative Activities

This year, though, I planted some tomato seeds at the beginning of March, and they are now growing really well. I saw that two of them already have some signs of blooming, so I hope to have better luck this year.

I am not going to put them outside before sometime in June, just so I don’t risk killing them this year as well.

Other activities I really look forward to doing this summer include spending time close to the sea. Being close to the sea and enjoying the beach is so nice. During summertime, I always wish I lived close to the sea so we could spend more time enjoying it.

Summer Knitting

One thing that I usually take a break from doing during summer, but that I tried not to stop doing during summer last year, was knitting. Knitting has always been a winter activity for me that brings coziness to cold evenings.

But summer knitting is pretty cool, also, I have realized! Knitting in cotton is a little bit different than knitting in warm yarns like wool, but it is really nice to vary knitting and to try some new kind of projects.

Last year I knitted summer tops. Our oldest daughter really liked hers; she even chose to wear it when it was time to take photos in school. Here is a link to the knitting pattern I used: https://underbartskapad.com/summer-knit-top-knitting-in-cotton/

This year, I will try to knit a project bag for my knitting projects. If I am happy with the end result I will post a blog post about that knitting project.

Summery Recipes

Other creative things to do during summer is trying summery recipes like cold coffee recipes and so on.

Every season has its own opportunities to be creative, I hope that you will have a really nice summer and that you will have lots of creative moments!

Many greetings from us at Wonderfully made
