Antique Dogs
I got some great antique dog figurines at the swap meet last weekend. I took them outside the other day and took some photos of them. It's always fun to find some great new things at the swap meets while you are there selling the things that you want to sale.

6 Horse Team
There was a six-horse team out working in the fields on Wed. and I took a couple of photos as we were driving past. The farmers are all hard at work now that it is once again warmer and drier. I'm sure I'll see more teams out in the fields as they prepare and plant the fields.

New Horse Items
I've added several new horse items to my Zazzle store recently. Here are a few of the newest items in the store. I will be adding even more new horse items soon. These all happen to be Standarbred horses but I'll be adding other breeds of horse items also.
Here are a few other Standardbred items that caught my eye from other stores.

Friday is the Farmer's Market
Friday will be my second Farmer's Market. Last week we sold out of eggs. Hopefully that will happen again this week. It was amazing how many people that had never seen a green egg before. They also said our white eggs were better than any white store eggs. And then we had brown eggs also. Then I took some turkey and duck eggs to the swap meet over the weekend and most people asked if they were real eggs or if you could even eat them. I thought living in a rural area people would know more but I guess they really don't. I love to teach people about our eggs when they ask questions. I think farm fresh eggs are the best.

Been Busy then Sick
It was a busy weekend with a swap meet. It was so cold at the swap meet and then I ended up being sick all day yesterday. I don't know if it was because I was so cold all weekend or if it was something else. Anyways... I am feeling better today. I spent the morning doing barn chores and now I am going to work on the store some. Here are some photos I took at a different swap meet. I didn't sell as much as I would have liked but I did sale enough to bring home one empty box. :) So that was great. And I found some old printing press blocks that I will use in my mixed media art :)

The Red Barn
I love to take photos of barns. I took this one as we were driving out the windshield of the truck. Then I added a texture from Shadowhouse Creations to it. I hope to take more photos of barns someday soon.
Here are a couple others I shot out the window when we were on the road somewhere.

Got Bored
I got bored with my own photos so I went and got some photos that were licensed that I was able to use them in my store and played around with them. Here are a couple of them.

Birthday Cards
I haven't made many birthday cards for my Zazzle store so I made a couple the other day. I am busy at another swap meet. Sorry I can't write much today. Maybe I'll take some new photos today if I get a chance.

Rainy Days
We've been having quite a bit of rain around here lately. The farmers were able to get in the fields early this year to plant but now the cold and wet weather plus flooded fields means that many farmers are going to have to replant at least part if not all of their crops once it dries up again.
My poor Iris flower lasted about a day. I traded some fertile hatching eggs for some Iris a few years ago and I got my first bloom the other day but then we had some strong winds and thunderstorms that have knocked all the petals off already. Oh well. At least I got to see it bloom and get a few photos of it.

Playing
I've been playing with textures from Playing with Brushes last night and this morning. She has such wonderful textures. Here is a slideshow of what she offers. I'd love to be able to offer textures as great as hers someday. Well... were was I? Oh. I have been busy playing this morning and here is some of what I created using the wonderful textures.
This one I altered one of her textures before using it.
and last but not least is Cloud Songs.
This one was created for a challenge in the Playing With Brushes group on Flickr.

The Graffiti Barn
I pass this barn every once in awhile and each time it looks different as the graffiti on it is always changing. I took this photo out the window as we were driving past it one day and have added a texture from Apples and Sisters Resources to it. Maybe some day I will actually stop on the gravel side road and take photos of it while the car is not moving. I want to take more photos of barns and abandoned houses some day but I will not trespass to get the photos. I'll stay on public roads and shoot the photos from there.
