this is a big seller here in queenvanna-land, and this is just a slight variation. i love that this paper looks like fabric. very natural, neutral and pretty!
fresh in the etsy shoip this a.m.!!
what day is this? did i remember yesterday? dang, i’m all over the place. ANYWAY…. here’s today’s perpetual calendar! yay! i really do love this one. i’m into stripes and this color combo a lot lately! it’s in my etsy shop and on my flickr, too! =) 
for a girl that makes CALENDARS for a living, you’d think i’d keep a better grasp on what day it is!
another newly designed perpetual calendar - scalloped edges and all. *sigh* i wish scalloped edges would be my boyfriend.
i love them so!
another!! this is another new design, i used paper hot off the presses! again with the scalloped edges, 
i LOVE the delicate pink flowers on the number blocks! i may end up re-working this one, there’s something about it that doesn’t flow for me, but that’s just my opinion. this might be just perfect for someone else. it’s new in my etsy shop right now!
that’s right!! another perpetual calendar! this one is a new design, and i put it in my etsy shop today! i like that this one isn’t particularly girlie, it’d be just fine for a guy, too!!
i think this might be the last one of these for this week!! =) again, i’ve lost track of what day it is, but you get the gist! this one has such pretty colors, green with just a little pink and turquoise. paper by K&Co. LOVE!
man, i love the smell of modpodge in the morning!!
and only now i realize that it is showing the wrong date. but i’ll get over that. this one has a travel theme, with airplane paper base, map papered months, and directional arrow numbers. the color scheme is pretty, but not too feminine.
i’ve got my act together today, and i’ve already listed this one on etsy! =)
Well, I’m catching up on the last four days!
On Friday the First, I helped my three-year-old daughter, Piper, finish making (decorating, really) a calendar for herself. When I kiss her goodnight, she always asks me what we’re going to do the next day, and I thought she might appreciate being able to anticipate certain events a bit more. She coloured in all the birthdays of family and friends, and I drew a few little pictures of things coming up in the next couple of days (visiting friends, Gramma & Opa Snowbird coming home from Texas, etc.).
On Saturday the Second, I made two loaves of bread. I have been making bread remarkably consistently since the beginning of the year, a bemusing pleasure - the pleasure at the thought that I can maintain the discipline, the pleasure of feeling the dough beneath my palms and the simple pleasure of creating something from nothing (nothing you can eat straight, anyway!).
On Sunday the Third, we hosted a Stuperbowl party (that’s what I was calling it, anyway!). About half an hour before guests were going to show up, I decided to whip up a curtain for the kitchen window. I’d been mulling over the idea for a little while, after my husband built the shelf for plants above the sink. I love the colours of this fabric (City Park, by Alexander Henry) - I think I’ll buy another yard so I can have a bit hanging on each side, when it’s open, and so it’s more ruffly when it’s closed. I love how it changes the feel of the sink area, and I love the idea of having plants there. I’ll paint pots to match, and blog about that another day sometime soon.
And today, Monday the Fourth, I took the time to make myself a healthy, yummy lunch - kind of a stirfry - inspired by a book I’m reading on detoxing. I’m not fantastic at lunches. I don’t really do sandwiches, and usually hope there’s leftovers in the fridge that will work for me and the kids, but today, I put the effort in, and felt the emotional benefit of that for the rest of the day, I reckon. I was planning on painting the pots to match the curtains - I bought some paint today - but by the time I had the space to do so, it was feeling like a chore, not creative at all, so I took myself off to bed for a kip before dinner - a better choice!
a new perpetual calendar - this one is my new favorite. i may have to make one similar to this one for myself when this one sells! =) the colors are perfect for my kitchen.
*and* not only did i finish it today, i also listed it on etsy today! yay for having my act together!! =)
This is part of a do-it-yourself mini calendar that I have been creating for my significant other since December of last year. It was a Christmas present. Here is my page for the month of March. 9 more pages to go . . . Sorry for the crapola photo.
i am very busy doing nothing at all today. i’m not even tryin’, i can’t get out of my own way. saving myself the hassle of irritating myself! i finished this one early this morning,
