Daily Pattern: Painted Pigs

Topic: farm

I read a tiny bit about farms and sustainability and things like that. They're fairly popular topics these days. One of the things I thought was both interesting (and kind of cool) is how animals and plants can give and take from each other in good amounts. Some regulation, plus regulation of how much regulation is happening, makes for a pretty nice setup.

Daily Pattern : All the pretty eggs

Topic : Farm

On one of our trips to New York for the Surtex show, we stumbled upon the farmers market in Union Square. I remember seeing one of the booths there with some absolutely stunning blue and brown eggs. I had never seen such gorgeous eggs! They were all shades of colors, soft colors -- many of them were just light teal, or sky blue with a couple tiny speckles! I haven't seen eggs that wonderful since!

Daily Pattern: Chicken Scratch

Woo! Trying to get on board for the last stretch of patterns. Here's my farm pattern - inspired by the farm I used to visit as a kid. It was actually a Christmas tree farm in West Virginia, but there was totally a chicken coop, and goats. I always thought those chickens were kind of scary, but these guys are a bit more peaceful enjoying an afternoon snack.

Daily Pattern: Goats

I have Lindsay to thank for this topic! I was stumped (beards were a thing already, right? Something like that...), but Lindsay thoughtfully reminded me that we all need to move to St. Paul. Apparently you can own goats there. And goats are cute.
