Pixel’s First Birthday

Happy Birthday to our little Pixel. Today he is one year old! We have loved watching him grow. It’s hard to believe how little he used to be, but he is still as cuddly as ever. Size doesn’t matter to him (or us).
On Sunday we gathered all our friends together along with their pups and threw Pixel a hot dog birthday party in the park. It was such a fun celebration! Guests topped their hot dogs with whatever they wanted and some where even up for a “Great Dane” (a hot dog topped with everything). The day couldn’t have turned out better. Even the 95 degree heat didn’t stop us from having fun. We just soaked the dogs with cool water and let them get good and dirty.

 

Learn how to make the hot dog garland here. The invitations (fill-in-style) will soon be available in our shop! And don’t forget to download our party planning printables when planning your next event.UPDATE: The hot dog party invites are now in our shop!

On top of all of that, it’s also our three year wedding anniversary today! I couldn’t have asked for a better three years. I am so blessed. I love you Jake!
P.S. Notice how similar the shirts we are wearing are. Yeah, we didn’t even plan that.

Today is the day our little guy was born. What an amazing year it’s been! We love Pixel so much, and are so happy he’s in our life. This will be the last Watch Me Grow post, so here’s a little tribute to the last year.

Our Weekend

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Weekend 1330 Views

We had quite the weekend, which leaves us completely exhausted today. We spent most of Saturday running around picking up last minute supplies for Pixel’s birthday party and then baking lots of human and dog goodies.

Sunday we ran over to the Rose Bowl Flea Market for a quick gander and then came back home to set up for Pixel’s party. Is was a blazing 95 degrees yesterday. That heat zaps you of all energy. We had fun though and I can’t wait to show you how everything turned out!

Finder’s Keepers: Pencils

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Finders Keepers, Typography 1949 Views

If I had a choice between a pen or a pencil, I would choose a pencil every time. I love the rougher texture they add to your writing, the smell of wood when you sharpen them, and the little pink eraser that tops them off. And that’s just a traditional #2 pencil. There is even more to love about these pencils from Amanda Catherine Designs. I think the Art Movement set is my favorite; then again I love the Favorite Things set. Who am I kidding I love them all and would happily have any or all of them. 

In Motion: SCREENGRAB

Jake Blog Post Experiment, In Motion, stop motion, Video 1192 Views

Get ready for your brain to hurt; today’s video is mind-bendingly cool. Screengrab is an experimental video combining printed out still frames from video, combined with actual footage from the same video. It’s pretty easy to follow at first, but once the video really gets moving it’s easy to not realize what’s printed out and what live footage. Check it out!

Finders Keepers: Furniture Makeovers

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Book, DIY, Finders Keepers, Home, Vintage 1951 Views

For us there is nothing like the feeling of buying old beat up furniture at a good price and fixing it up to be just what we wanted. Furniture Makeovers not only provides you with tons of inspiration, it also teaches you simple techniques to transform your pieces. I think this could come in handy when we own a house someday and have lots more rooms to fill with flea market finds.
Here are a few more finds from this week:
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo – the history of the piñata!
Use this brilliant idea at your next party.
Easy beautiful gift for mother’s day or any day.

His & Hers: Longboards

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post His and Hers 1389 Views

His Hers
Jake and I got each other Longboards for Christmas last year, and we’ve loved cruising down the neighborhood streets ever since. Pixel loves pulling Jake as fast as he can and it’s great exercise for him too. On Saturday mornings we like to get up early and ride down to the Coffee Bean for breakfast and coffee with Pix.
