I made a calendar

Last (gardening) year I kept a record of the high and low temp for each day and the rainfall. I did this on an old training planner form work. I've now got to input that into excel for it to be any use which I have realised is going to be a ball ache. So this year we will be imputing it directly into a spreadsheet. However I wanted a calendar to keep track of when to plant and harvest things and also to help me organise my weeks so we get everything done! So I made one.

As you all know I love taking pictures so it makes sense that I would make my own calendar. It took me a while to find a company that was a good price and easy to use. In the end I went with Photobox and would definitely recommend them.

Here are the pics I used. This is a gardening year one still so it runs from October to September.

time for a none sewing post

Hey guys. Man it's been nothing but sewing over here this month. I am aware that there are more things to life than SSS I promise. Trouble is they've upped the security at work again so while I can get on and read other people's blogs I can't actually log into Blogger. Crazy right! This means I've just not had time on an evening to blog.

So to placate you hungry beasts I've got some piccies. You like piccies right? Sure you do. No sewing ones I promise. They are all a bit random and are ones I've been meaning to share with you and haven't for one reason or another.

Art strikes

I love the fact that random art can strike in any place. I got my first serious camera for my 18th birthday, back when I entertained dreams of being a serious photographer. My whole life I've hated the fact that I can "see" what I want to put on paper but I can't draw it. Photography seemed the answer to that. Now it's still a labour of love and you vary rarely get it just like you see in your head. But you get exactly what you see through the viewfinder.

I like to take quite close up pictures, focusing on things you might not notice or even know existed. How I wish I could afford a good macro kit! But anything can become a good picture in the right frame of mind.

One of the things the CSA asked people to do was to take some photos for the website.So this weekend I took Bessie (my trusty camera) with me and took a few shots.



I like the almost monochrome look to this one. Atmospheric barrow :o)



Any farm, no matter where, will have old bits of machinery lying around. There's something beautiful about all that twisted metal.



Last week I got a serious case of Barnheart looking back over the farm as the sun was setting behind it. Now it wasn't quite as pretty this week as we left a bit earlier. But I still think it's stunning and long for my own!!



And lastly who could resist a kid. I adore baby goats, they are just so darn cute!!

So that's it for the farm inspired art for this week. These kinda pictures will keep me going til I have a farm of my own.
