Some things I found this week:

Make a felt terrarium!
Nice summer shirt for getting weekend brunch.
Donuts that have no calories!
Pretty strawberry tart
Look at the gorgeous detail on this dress.

This week was a pretty good one. We had a bread and cheese dinner, I gave my first sewing lesson, we tidied and refreshed the yard a little, and spent a lovely evening with some friends. Let’s continue this good trend into the weekend, shall we?

Here is a picture of the baby garden. This was little over a month ago, pre-growth spurt, back when the tomatoes still fit in their cages.

Couple of pictures from anniversary weekend.

1. Taking a walk through the flower field, and naming all the flowers we know.

2. Visits to all the small town Texas shops.

3. Dinner out of Johnny Appleseed’s hat with the most handsome guy in the world.

Some things I found this week:

Funny animal cakes.
I’ve been running in the sticky hot weather, and might need some more headbands to keep the hair from plastering itself to my face. Cute for non-running too.
Peach sorbet. Really into peaches right now.
These phone cases are real pretty.
Do I need a watercolored painted summer scarf?

I can’t really believe that we will be married a whole year on Sunday. We are gonna spend the weekend doing everything we like to do together. Y’all have a good one! And here’s a picture of a tiny strawberry we grew with love, sunshine, and water.

Some things I found this week:

This no flour seed and oatmeal bread is supposed to make good toast.
Uber cute little guitar case. Maybe I could make one…?
Pretty flowers and painted rocks.
I’ve got a crush on summer hats too.
Avocado summer rolls for when it gets too hot to eat.

We have been getting about 8 peas a day from our little patch. We have a million green tomatoes, so hopefully we will have a million ripe tomatoes soon. I’m also starting sewing on a new shirt. I’m trying a new kind of fabric, so cross your fingers that the sewing machine likes it.

Some things I found this week:

Colorful woven purses and tapestries
Could work all day in this lovely little shed studio
How hard could it be to make your own pasta
We have been planning our anniversary escape, and my request is to go somewhere where we can eat lots of ice cream.
Personalized map quilts, plus they have Austin!

If it doesn’t rain again, we are going to try to go kayaking, and do a little sunbathing to get rid of these obvious farmer tans we are rocking. Then our weekend will be filled with the normal things like mowing the lawn, grocery shopping, watching all the xmen movies in chronological order, and taking pictures of our plants.

A pretty reminder for watering houseplants.
Fun baking contest! The video makes it look so easy.
Speaking of baking videos, I have watched this video of a bakery in action many times.
I always say I want our yard to look garden party ready, and this dress would be cute for all these hypothetical outdoor gatherings.
Candles for book lovers.

We finally made and ordered a photo book with our wedding photos. I added in a bunch of craft project, making-of photos too, so it will be more the size of a short novel. Its been on my to-do list for almost a whole year now, and we can’t wait until it arrives!

Some things I found this week:

If you are a Harry Potter person, finally you can learn what this is.
I want to make these fruit filled muffins.
Pretty sure 50% of my bathing suits have polka dots.Why not one more?
We have a bunch of these living in a tree in the backyard, and I want to bring some inside, and hang them from these triangle looking hanging planters.
We have SO much basil right now. Finding lots of things to make with it.

We are going on a pie date this evening (in one of my new shirts!), we have a 4-year-old’s batman pool party on Saturday, and we need to fertilize our garden after all the thunderstorms. Have a good one!

Speaking of molasses and pecans.
I want to sew a simple tshirt, and add these tulip sleeves.
Yum looking granola recipe.
I loved overalls when I was younger. They are my garden clothes in my dreams.
One of my fave instagram accounts.

I think it will be a pretty stressful weekend over here. We have to watch our grass seeds grow, look out for thunderstorms, and drink iced tea. Maybe go wander around the botanical garden if its not too humid out. So if you need us, we’ll be very, very busy.

How pretty is this little grower here. I enjoy the tiny hint of hot pink leaves.
