Loving this 2011 Lunar Calendar by Alec Thibodeau.

Some of you have been asking and I have finally finished this project! 2011 Calendar "nature smiles upon a year"on sale at Etsy for $10 (plus shipping). I love it, but then I love each photo as if I had given birth to it. ;) Sorry so late with these, my printer has been very busy ;)

Going to seed

My desktop wallpaper was accepted into the September 2010 roundup! Thank you! Smashing Magazine! You made my day. This wallpaper by Sandrine Abraham is brilliant! Want to see more Beautiful Afterlife happening?

July calendar

I had such great intentions of putting up a calendar once a month. Fail! So next year I will put it in a better format for printing from a computer rather than this weird size. But had to share my July because I love the quote ;)

From SOMETHING

Tendril Font and calendar

Oh Lord. 5:30pm, Sunday night. I did nothing as far as cleaning house, paying bills (will do next), putting up clothes, doing my (secret) art project. After spending all day learning Wordpress yesterday with Rick, I worked on the website for many hours but my mind turned to unfinished calendars and Rock-On font. Up at 6a and spent all day doing something frivolous and fun. Maybe I need to do these little weekend create projects to build up my self-esteem? To feel like I can actually do something creative, see something in nothing, make it? I don't know what is driving me on the weekends to ignore dirty floors and ironing board. I feel a little guilty wasting an entire day on this, I am calling it, "unrefined vine" font. It is just the beginning, will still need to turn it into a font and make lower case, punctuation marks and numbers. Might need to wait for next year growth to have more tendrils to finish this up.

Last week I was pruning the hydrangeas before dark and started collecting the tendril attachments on the grape vines. Staring at them, with the sky as backdrop, I was imagining someone long ago thinking of calligraphy. I collected as many as I could reach, shot them and turned them into this little alphabet. I admit, it was fun. (But I am still feeling a little guilty about my entire day in front of this computer.)

Also finished up the entire calendar but trying to figure out where to upload it for someone to print out. Am going to print out a couple of calendars, one to send to my S-I-L, Gerrie, my wonderful aunt (Beth) and a couple of other friends. Anyway, still, a work in progress. ;(  Okay, now I see all I did today, it wasn't a total waste of my day. ;)

Decorate your own calendar

I have always wanted to make my own calendar using my photos and this morning I did, starting off with January 2010.

The large size would be the best to use for printing. You can adjust the size to fit on letter size during the printing process. With my new computer up and running, maybe a desktop calendar is next.
