saturday of design

I set aside this Saturday to work on the computer.  I have a hard time working on the computer on weekends because I spend all day at work on one.  But, I needed to do some design work for business cards for printing.  I need to use my letter press.  The problem with this type of computer work for me is I look up and the whole day has gone by.  I can spend hours just testing different fonts.  Then there is that bit of "That clip art is just not quite right but if I created this or made that wood block or..."  I look up and the day has gone by.

But I got a lot done.  I sent of three different emails with multiple designs.  My Beloved is going to give me the rough draft for some art work and I will work with that for him as well.  I have more ideas for my own business cards.  I may "splurge" for my Beloved and myself and get magnesium plates.  I can see everyone else needing something very different in the future.  We will not for these little bits.

I will say the most exciting bit I had this week was pulling this carrot out of my yard.  I have never been able to grow carrots before because there has been just too much clay.  I have worked very hard for this soil and now I have carrots!  

I also figured out how to roast kale.  With as much kale as we have in the garden, that is very exciting as well.  I put it in with the rest of the vegetables but I migh make chips here soon as well.
