Gremlins invade my St. Hils 2010 Calendar...........grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hiya Folks
I had NO idea what to share with you all today.............................in fact blogging was not even featuring in my mind at all.  To be brutally honest with you all, I was too busy feeling VERY cross with myself to think of any such thing.  I have decided to blame the gremlins I am now convinced live in each of my computers for the most recent annoyance.  As we have "collected computers" over the years.......a habit born of an inablity to sell or dump the old computer or laptop once we buy a spanking nice new one..............we have a total of FOUR...............NOT that the oldest would be worth a lot of course given it was purchased just when XP was released.  So given the number of computers we have...........the number of gremlins must be huge too.........because it doesn't matter WHICH machine I use............those gremlins invitably make an appearance.........................  Of course I sadly realise that the real gremlin is ME sadly..............but that would be to admit I am less than perfect.....................................:-)

I decided today to have our "children" seen choosing or pursuing the photographs chosen for their church's calendar for next year.  So I have, naturally, had to create some miniature calendars as well as photographs to use for my photoshoots.  So there I was.....opening up my real full sized monthly A4 calendar in order to take some screen shots and then reduce them.   

However.......imagine my horror when I reached May..........................see below and spot the mistake.....................

I couldn't believe it.......after having created a pdf file for our website too...........our poor visitors have been, without knowing it, downloading the calendar with the wrong date for Pentecost.......which SHOULD have been 23rd May and NOT the 25th May.........arghhhhhhhhhhh.  I couldn't believe it - how daft of me.  However Andrew did remind me that there is a rule that goes in ecclesiastical embroidery and you will all be interested to hear it.  Apparently each eccleisastical embroidery ever embroidered HAS to have ONE mistake............the reason being.............only God is perfect!  However even that idea didn't help me....................and so if you have not yet downloaded our version 2 calendar which was affected by this error, you can do so and check to see that I have now rectified it...........phew!

I have now recovered from this mistake............................although I am very annoyed I even managed to make it......especially since the version 2 calendar is correct.  Oh well............as they say..........worse things happen at sea!

I can, at least, still share something positive with you below...............  Ambrose is showing Robert Alexander the photograph that has been chosen for March...........

I have had fun though making up 1/12 scale calendars and Christmas cards for the church and am considering making them available for free download too.....................so if you are keen to have a 1/12 scale St. Hils calendar and Christmas cards  for YOUR little people in your dollshouse watch this space.....................

Till the next time.....

PS Apple and custard doughnuts reappeared last Wednesday.................but with a big booooooooo attached...........they have gone up from 0.99p (special offer) to £1.19 for a pack of two........  You may ask if that put me off................sadly......NO!
