Flower Faces

I was so inspired by Justina Blakeney's "face the foliage" that I decided to try creating my own plant made faces. Obviously her's are much more unique and creative but I still had fun making them.

    

Summer Goals

Goals are important to me. They give me a destination, something to work towards. That's why I like to have goals even for fun relaxing things like summer. That's why I love this "how to summer list". It separates your summer goals into four categorize "go, make, do and eat"so you can appropriately organize you summer plans. Here are some ideas:

Go:-farmers market

-drive in movie

-drive in diner

-stargazing

-outdoor movie

-baseball game

Make:-ice cream

-dress (or any garment you aim to sew)

-heb garden

-outdoor fort

Do:-picnic

-backpacking trip

-BBQ

-block party

Eat:-malt

-root bear float

-watermelon

-s'mores

-veggie hot dogs

Drawing

  I've never been an artist but i've always had a knack for following directions. I've found Christopher Hart has fantastic drawing videos. This one of how to draw a cute kitten is very easy.

       
              He has a wide range of videos ranging from how to draw an alligator running to a castle.

Above is my version of the cat from his video. Below is my drawing from his video of how to draw a smiling girl(I altered her hair a bit) .

Love Birds

  While thrift shopping (my main weekend activity) I came across this beautiful bird salt and pepper shaker set. I instantly feel in love with their detail and color. They add a dainty touch to any table.

  I thought they were the perfect way to bring my table into spring. Being both functional and beautiful makes them a must have home decor. 

They are so pretty I that I would have bought them even if they didn't have a purpose. I love elegant dainty pieces that are bit quirky. My one complaint is its hard to remember which on is salt and which is pepper.

If you like these you may also like these (mustache salt and pepper shakers)(egg salt and peper shakers, on sale for 1$) and (two peas in a pod salt and pepper shakers)

Have a Cute Day

  Here is a link to "AN INTERVIEW WITH BOO: THE WORLD’S CUTEST DOG".  If you never have seen a picture of Boo you must, he is so adorable. My pup Is starting to get suspicious of all the "he's so cute" noses i'm making at the computer.

A Laugh for your Monday

 Here is one of my new favorite videos. It is of a hamster eating a tiny burrito. Even the part where they're making the mini burrito is hilarious. I've probably watched it at least 100 times in the past few days. Hope you have a good week.

Cute Ecard

I found this ecard while browsing Pinterest and I think it perfectly defines my relationship with some of my friends. It is a great way to say "hey,were both crazy and that's what makes us special".

Storium

 Storium is a new creative way to look at storytelling. It uses a format similar to a video game to create a multiplayer story. I have been using their beta site and absolutely love it. The final version will be coming out in the fall and there is only a limited time to sign up for the beta version.

You can create a new world or customize a pre existing one. Right now working on a occult pulp horror but there are other genres such as fantasy or steam punk. Here is a link to their kick starter page (which is the only way you can get the beta version).

Untranslatable Words

  Does the english language ever feel lacking for you? What word can you use to describe that feeling of being alone in the woods, or the after dinner chatter. I love this post on man.com about untranslatable words. I think I'm going to start using some of them in my everyday life. On of my favorite is Goya (urdu) or "the transporting suspension of disbelief that can occur i.e in good storytelling".
