I just wanted to share some pictures of my summer garden, it's starting to get pretty warm in Texas but the plants are still happy for the most part. I wanted to capture everything while it was still happy and blooming, I'd like to thanks my wonderful photography assistant for taking some of these lovely shots. I love when seeds start growing and sprouting, things you have forgot about greet you as a happy surprise. I love that with each new season, there are particular varieties that shine in their surroundings. I definitely couldn't pick just one as a favorite. What plants and flowers do you enjoy the most?
two different kinds of hydrangeas
garden gnome among the balloon flowers
My new favorite purple Liatris
Dahlia and Coleus happy together
Celosia among the garden animals

happy zinnias :)

if you look close you can see the little hummingbird enjoying the plants
I had a fun weekend watched some movies and hung out with friends.
I watched one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes series, the BBC version with Benedict Cumberbatch, he plays the bad guy in the new star trek movie. I'm pretty excited to see it because of him.
I also found this awesome feature on the guys wardrobe on Gatsby, the costumer designer did a collaboration with Brooks Brothers.This is my inner fashion nerd coming out, I've always loved costume design.
I went to Target and I just happened to see this place mat on the summer end cap.
It was so happy and bright and adorable, it totally made my day. I'm kind of an octopus fan. There is a fun turtle print too.
I got to hang out with my friend yesterday, and she knows I love the bake and got me the cutest book!
I've seen it in the store before but I never would look at it, I thought it was all cupcakes, clearly if I had read the title I would have known better lol
It uses a lot of candy and pre-made items, but I think it really enhances the presentation of the baked goodness and they have colorful instruction pages and templates. I'm really excited to get started.
so cute!!!
You should definitely check it out they have a lot of the book available to look at in the preview mode on Amazon.
We've been lucky to get another crop of broccoli before the weather gets too hot. It's so nice to have fresh veggies from the garden. They taste so tender and fresh! I forgot how quick and easy dinner is when you're making veggies, just slice and steam. We've even got full size potatoes this season, I'm pretty excited that all our plants are doing well. It will be interesting to see how the green beans go....
Ok so that's all with me lately, I'm off to work on some drawing projects, Happy Tuesday to you :)
