So week three of 2012 is wrapping up and I have just finished my creation – an indoor plant stand for starting seeds for the home and camp gardens. This stand was in Make Magazine #28. Here is the full online tutorial.

The purpose of the stand is start seeds much earlier than I would be able to in the Southwestern Ontario climate. This will allow us to harvest much earlier and enjoy the garden bounty from the start to finish of the summer/fall.

Here are some photos:

Let me know if you have any comments. Week 4 starts soon.

So it is another Saturday night and the end of week number 2 for 2012.

This was an interesting week in creating something. When I first thought of this project I had wondered what types of things I could create each week. I did not want to limit myself to doing one thing 52 times – so I started a list and ideas have been coming.

I have many hobbies – music being one of them. This week I knew I wanted to create a recording to share. I struggled a bit in my mind with what “create” means – I created the song and the original recording and now the MP3 to share. I did not “record” it this week, or “write” it this week – but I did create something this week that can be shared…

This week I have created an MP3 of an original song of mine titled “Pretty Lady” (right-click to download). It was recorded in 1999 and has been sitting around for 13 years, occasionally heard but not released to the public.

You can listen to it here:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

This will insert a player and load your_mp3_file.mp3 into it.

“Pretty Lady” was one of the first songs I wrote – it came into being sometime between 1992 and 1996 while I was at Lakehead University.

This is a song that I play during down times at camp during the summer – staff actually request it – now they can have it for their own and so can you.

Let me know your thoughts and comments.

Back again next week to reveal the next creation.
