Fun Stuff • 8.17.13

I'm currently getting my learn on at Blogcademy (eep!!!), but here's a list of fun things I found on the internet this week...or that I just feel are kind of awesome and want to share ^_^

Stuff to Read

• I've been diving into 
• Editing by Design: For Designers, Art Directors, and Editors--the Classic Guide to Winning Readers on a recommendation from one of Shauna's posts a few months ago.  I'm working on my wholesale catalog and this book has been indispensable. 
• Swiss Miss shared this quote from David Ogilvy.  This is exactly how I strive to be when in management positions.  I think a lot of people could benefit from acting this way in the workplace.
• I made it a goal to finish Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy this month, so I can start Dune in time for Autumn.  Hold me to it, please!

Stuff to Make

• Katie shared how she cuts up her tshirts...I totally did it on my new shirt from Ermine Vintage.
• I love this technique to turn your washi tape into a giant stripey sticker.  I bet it would be awesome if you made it from this giant tape and make something comically large!
• Turns out everything Heidi Kenney does is awesome.  She tried a tip to breathe new life into melamine and it turned out great!  I've got a stack of yellow ones from our wedding that I'm dying to try it on.

Stuff to Wear

• This sewing machine t-shirt made me smile.  So fun!
• House Industries has a line of shirts on Uniqlo!  AARGH!  You know how much I love House Ind.
• Gertie made a cat dress that I neeeeeeeeeed.
• Pretty Snake is awesome and I love this, and this.

Stuff to Eat

• S'mores forever!  S'more skewers.
• To counteract the s'mores, Kristen's got some good ideas for veggies.
• Now that I've done my civic veggie duty...back to s'mores.

Stuff to Watch

• Lauren has done a couple of wonderful videos with TechCocktail.  She's so inspirational and I'm so glad that I know her!  Check them out here and here.  She's doing some really awesome stuff with Umba, so you should check that out, toooo!
• Riker gifs are always incredible.

Stuff from TPS this Week

• Lasagna Cupcakes by Kristen Kochanski.  I can't wait to make (and eat) these!
• Full Tilt Date - Super fun arcade date idea!
• Thrifty Thursday was at Ermine Vintage.
