Out of the Mouths of Babes

I don't know if it's because she's our kid, or if she really is particularly funny. But Sam keeps coming up with the funniest one liners.

Recently we had a bad experience with some rice. Uncle Ben's rice in particular. Now, we are longtime fans of the Uncle, so no hate coming from us. But this was a BAD batch. ick. Lots of talk about Uncle B around the dinner table. Otherwise why would a 6 year old even know who he was?

Enter breakfast yesterday. Frozen french toast, mmm. Sam applies Aunt Jemimah syrup and comments that Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemimah should get married. I disolve into laughter.

She made my day! And that is why I have quit my job. So I have time to document some of these moments. Oh, and so I can get to work painting the little table waiting for me in the hot garage.

aah, there they are. A match made in heaven!

No time like the present.

Hi everyone! I am finally



finally



finally



starting my blog. I know you are greatly relieved!



They say the third time is the charm. Fingers crossed "they" are right!



I am starting a blog for various reasons, and for various people, but mostly for myself at this point in time. I am embarking on some life changes, including (but not limited to) the fact that I have recently quit my job. Yikes, it's still hard to say that out loud, but I am very excited about this new chapter in my...our life.



I am hopeful that this blog will be a source of creative outlet for me. I love to dabble. I am a great procrastinator, but get pretty excited when I finally (actually) finish a project. I love thrift stores. Fabric stores. Honestly, I really love all stores, but those are two of my favorites. :)

Here are a few of the reasons for the new direction my life is taking. More on them later.



I look forward to sharing some of my creations in the coming days. Thanks for stopping by.
