Month Overview (July 2013)

The month of July has been a pretty chillaxed month for me, so luckily i have had plenty of time to post. Here is an overview of the posts I have made this month:

My first post in July was my cat party hat. It was a post where me and Lilli (from thegardeniaelephant) made a party hat for her cat rosie's birthday.  This was simple and anyone could do it, even though rosie was not so pleased to model it c:

                                 

  

       I also made a short update introducing my beach saga. 

     

I did a short tutorial on how to make a beach wishing bracelet thing. I was already back from the beach at this point, and I was pretty inspired by the whole thing. 

Next I made a post about a short trip I took to downtown Beaufort with family and friends. It highlighted the a restaurant, the pier, and an oold graveyard. This was an old post from the beach.

The next post I made was one I've been wanting to make for a while where I show you how to make custom stamps. This is definitely one of my favorite DIY posts I have made, and I really liked the turnout.

The next post I made was one about the aquarium. It was another post from the beach. It highlighted different animals we saw, and had some pretty crappy pictures :)

I made a post about a mug i drew on and planted chia in. It was a short and easy but cute tutorial. The chia sprouted so fast it was funny! It grew like wildfire and will look like hair soon enough.  Some pretty crappy pictures in this one as well.

The next post I made was an introduction to the star scale, a simple editing project I did. I do love the graphics on this. 

Goat shopping! This simply showed how we picked out our 4 goats and a bit about each of them! 

Goat shopping!

The other day we went to a farm to buy goats!

                            
We set out in our rumbly truck to go to a farm.
The farm had lots of other animals too, like pigs, cows, rabbits, and such, but we focused right away on the goats.

They had two adult ones, one of which was fatter and had bigger utters, and four babies, two boys, two girls. They were all nubian goats.

The baby goats were very cute and all so friendly. The fatter one had two boys, and the skinnier one had two girls.

The owner of the farm was only looking to sell the smaller one so we bought her and one baby.
We put them in the back of the truck and rumbled our way home.

They are named Rutabaga and Turnip. Rutabaga gives about a gallon of milk a day (give or take) and we are planning on using it for cheese and yogurt. 

We are keeping them in a pen with lots of grass and things in it. We always put them in the barn at night. 

Later, we set out again to buy more goats! I didn't go that time, but they came back with two more females. I'm not sure what type of goat they are, but they are milky white and a bit bigger than the other girls. 

They are yet to get names, but I am thinking arugula and sorrel. All of the goats get along pretty well and are living their lives away happily within our farm's ecosystem.
