summer tv watching

What are you watching this summer? During those too hot weekend summer afternoons, we tend to hole up in a shady room and watch shows. We’ve been watching Downtown Abbey together, and then we recently started watching Orphan Black, so naturally we are almost done with it. If you haven’t seen it yet, Orphan Black is amazing. The same person plays a lot of the characters, and we have to continually exclaim out loud how much our minds are blown.

1. Do you ever stalk airbnb? This is a houseboat in Paris next to the Eiffel Tower. 2. Obsessed with this garden, and how green it is. 3. An instagram full of bread pictures. 4. Pretty shoes. 5. Breakfast tacos with avocado and radish salsa. Did you know we love breakfast tacos?

Basically gonna spend the weekend watching these seeds grow. I have a book to finish reading too. So much to do. Happy August!

1. Fun summer project- a travel picnic blanket. 2. I am a huge sucker for weddings in the wilderness. 3. Free pattern for some cute shorts. 4. Dingbat fonts are cool. 5. Backpack with places to go.

Our hopes for the weekend include pie, a hike, and maybe the play in the park. I also need to find something to make with sage. Our sage plant is out of control.

Orange is the New Bark: A great project by great people

I work with a number of great people at my job and Kathy Horn is one of them. Not only is she a top notch creative director but she and her husband worked on this great project that inspires folks to adopt pets from places like the Austin Humane Society.

I am a dog lover (in case you can’t tell by the pictures of my dog Marley here) and I think this is such a great idea to not only find a fun way to get people to adopt a pet that needs a home but also provides other organizations the ability to create similar videos for their own animals!

If you’d like to learn more about their project, you can visit their site Orange is the New Bark or check out their Facebook page to see some of the latest videos that are being created. And for your viewing pleasure, a parody video that can also be found on their site.
