things that caught my eye/ eleven

Some things I found this week:

What to do with all those long fabric scraps
Would be an adorable wedding gift
Going to need this for all the herbs we’re growing
I wish this was still available. Pickles are my favorite.
I’m having trouble deciding between this cookie and this one.

We are getting quite the recognition from the neighbors for our front yard makeover. We have been basking in the glow all week, but its time to start the backyard this weekend. We’ll probably need more rice krispie treat fuel. And if you are looking for a gift for garden lovers, I have some new notebooks in the shop!

Here is a picture of our growing little snap peas, and we all hope you have a nice weekend!

Some things I found this week:

Hope we have enough flowers growing around the yard this summer so I can make one of these.
Love this homemade hat.
Already bought the ingredients to try to make corn tortillas.
Dinner ideas- 50 vegetarian pizzas.
Because sometimes, it is just one of those days.

I spent most of the week being sick/recovering, so I learned a new crochet pattern while laying on the couch. I am looking forward to being back to fighting shape, and enjoying Easter weekend! I have some fun Easter cookies to post tomorrow!

Some things I found this week:

Amazing looking sandwich
Reusable bread wrap made with beeswax
Combination of a quilt and paper dolls
Super important information
Good for weekend breakfast, or any meal really

My guy brought me a flower. He’s totes adorbs. This weekend, we are signed up to do some volunteering outside, and we probably have more yardwork of our own to do. I’m excited to get some veggies planted.

The guy pointed out that these three only encounter each other in real life as team mascots.

Some things I found this week:

Fun, colorful leather purses
Pretty ranch wedding. Having dinner in a field of flowers is the dream.
A DIY for something we actually need.
This quilt is a true work of art. Amazing.
Bread baking inspiration + homemade mascarpone cheese

Yesterday afternoon, it was humid and warm outside, and now this morning, it was chilly and windy. So who knows what the weekend will bring! The hope is to do lots of yardwork. Our rock path is almost finished, and then we can start on our garden plans.

We were lucky to catch the skywriting last night for Pi day. We literally walked out the front door for our evening walk, and caught them in the act. It was pretty mesmerizing to watch.

Some things I found this week:

This bag would have been a perfect farmer’s market tote.
Love the idea of sourdough breakfast pizza. I can’t wait to try pizza dough with my starter!
I loved contests as a kid, and I definitely would have entered this one!
Even the in progress photos of this little project look gorgeous.
I finally finished up this book, and it was so interesting. It really got me thinking about fermenting foods, and how it has always been a part of our culture and diet, until more recently. The argument behind feeding our whole body, and all the little organisms that work to keep us healthy, makes a lot of sense. We are gonna try our hand at maybe some carrots, sauerkraut, or kimchi (for that Korean husband of mine), and this hot sauce recipe seemed fairly simple too!

The guy spent last weekend SXSW-ing 24×7, so we are excited to spend a couple days together. We have a rock path to finish, some garden beds to make, cookies to deliver to friends, and some vegetables to ferment. Busy busy busy!

Some things I found this week:

Raspberry bars, plus all the pictures are beautiful
Tiny felt dresses
Who knew thistles could look so cozy?
Infographic with 188 types of pasta
I need someone I know to have another baby so I can make this.

This is one of those weekends where everybody in the world comes to Austin to be all Austin-y. So I am going to bunker down at the homestead, make some like biscuits or something, and watch every episode of Sherlock again. And since I know what is going to happen, maybe I won’t hyperventilate so much this time.

Some things I found this week:

This illustrated infographic of all the Oscar winning dresses
Very legit apron
Fun felt flower garland
Crocheted and cross-stitched dish cloths
And of course, these amazing paper dresses

We got A LOT of rocks delivered this week, so our weekend will involve carrying and artfully laying those rocks in the yard. And after a day of that, it will probably also involve frozen yogurt.

My valentine roses were glorious, and only now starting to wilt a bit. I kinda like when the roses droop their heads and form perfect little ruffles.

Some things I found this week:

On a biscuit making mission this weekend.
We’ve never tried to make crepes, but these make me want to try.
The little dolls here are adorable, and based on a free pattern.
I started sewing a dress this week, but it would be super cool to sew this.
So intrigued by this strawberry crochet, but I can’t find the instructions.

I caught some sort of weird stomach bug yesterday, so I spent the day sipping water and watching Gossip Girl. And then I had to stop watching after a while, because I start to feel so anxious for the characters. But I’m feeling much better today, so I have a lot of work to catch up on!

Practicing some bird-related embroidery. birdtweet

Some things I found this week:

I am riding a sewing high after finishing my shirt, so I was excited to find all these totally do-able looking sewing projects.
Some chocolate chip cookies with honey, for your Valentine hunny.
A tutorial for cute crochet mocassins!
Paper cut style fonts.
A pretty chart for flowers that help save the bees!

We are going on a date to the Lego movie today, and we’ll probably share some popcorn. Maybe his hand will brush up against mine. Our knees will touch in the dark. He’ll do that coughing, stretching, arm over my shoulder move. Then we’ll laugh at funny talking Legos. I can’t wait.

over the weekend

Our weekends are the best. This one included yardwork, bread making, and lots of laughing.

We were sitting on the back porch, staining pieces of wood for a project. The mosquitoes were eating us alive. We were talking about everything and nothing, and about how lucky we are to have each other. Sometimes I think about how we will someday look back on our newlywed days, and it will be the little moments like that we will remember.
