Hello, everybody!
If you can name the two references I just used, I will give you a free mint. Shipping not included.
I've been toying with the idea of starting a blog for awhile now. I was a hard-core journaler (?) back in the day and have felt a black hole in my existence since ending my daily musings. The kick-in-the-pants was when I started reading all these amazing blogs by these cool, put-together ladies that were so inspiring, I had to jump on their hand-painted bandwagon. See: SouleMama, Posie Gets Cozy, and Centsational Girl- *sigh*. So, I'm not the most organized, crafty, or creative, lovely mama out there, but I give it a go pretty much every day.
As an example, yesterday, I decided I was going to try to make one thing every day. Like a finished, actualized project. Even if it's just a yo-yo. What's a yo-yo? Not the toy you need timing and hand-eye coordination for, mind you. These are yo-yos, my friends.
They are fantastically easy to make little peanuts and will go a long way in my "make something every day" scheme. Do you have five minutes, some scrap fabric, a needle and thread? Check out this handy tutorial: how to make a yo-yo with Heather Bailey. It's pretty much the best description out there.
Did I mention I have two cute kids and a nice husband? Yeah, they're all right. We have #3 on the way in July, and I'm taking name suggestions. We have a Violet (two and a half) and a Georgia (one!), so think Southern Belle-ish, 1940s-esque. The ladies are playing peek-a-boo with each other around a doorway right now, but I'm sensing the need for supervision soon.
As my sign-off treat, here is a little something to dream about...
Nice.
