friday freebie: march calendar

{image for march calendar ~ blossom}

Can you believe two months of 2010 have already flown by? March is such a funny month ~ here it signals the start of autumn or fall, although it is not uncommon to have a 40-degree days reminiscent of summer. The leaves are supposed to be turning but they are showing no signs of that yet. Instead, they are showing signs of being parched after a long, hot and dry summer.

I know our northern hemisphere friends are looking forward to spring, and although it is a long way off here for those of us just still hanging out for a cool change, I chose something pink and pretty for this month’s calendar. Albeit, unseasonal.

The calendar comes in two sizes – A4 to hang up, A5 to perhaps fit in a diary. I stopped  doing the DL sizes, but if you want them let me know and I’ll add them back in.

Hope you find it useful – as always feedback is welcome. All are pdfs ~ right-click on the link and Save Target/Link As.

my creative space

You know what they say about the best laid plans …

This week I had hoped to show you some wonderful projects whipped up with my latest toy ~ a small, simple sewing machine. The ideas, the plans, meh. Unfortunately, the machine has a thread tension problem. Hence, no projects.

So I guess you are wondering what the picture is all about. Well, following on from the small one’s shingles, the other small one and I now have chicken pox. So you know what they say about when it rains it pours. So this week, I am stuck in quarantine with a small one who is not really sick and a bottle of calamine lotion.

We did manage one quick project this week ~ this engagement gift for a couple heading to Hawaii. A pillow box with a postcard and some US dollars. Hubby was a huge help for the construction and I was really pleased with the way it turned out.

I apologise though for dragging you over here from the Queen of Creativity’s place, to the house of ills. Basically, I also want to apologise. We haven’t been getting out and about much lately and I so I’m sorry for not visiting. Once the quarantine has lifted, I’m sure I’ll be able to pop by.

And if anyone has any thread tension tips, let me know.

ps. By the way, have you entered my 500 posts milestone giveaway ~ all details here. I forgot to put an end date so I will close it noon tomorrow Australian time.

 

 

 

paper trail: seeing spots

Here at 74 Lime Lane we are seeing spots this week. Why? Chicken pox.  In the small one and, wait for it, me. So it seemed appropriate to go a little dotty with this week’s paper trail theme.

  2. MT Deco Washi Paper Masking Tape from Notemaker
  3. Handbound notebook from Paper Lion
