What A Life


Wouldn't it be lovely to to do this all day? After the day I have had, it would be heaven.This is Isabelle and she was a shelter dog we ended up saving. Sometimes I wish we had not, but in the end we love her and would not get rid of her for the world.

The girls were in weird moods today and drove me absolutely insane. It rained all day which made it even worse, and you can imagine the relief I had when Chris got home. After dinner Iwent out to the garage to work on my latest project. Last weekend at a yard sale I picked up an antique buffet for $20.00, it was a deal and I was so excited since I have been wanting one for ages. I didn't care that it was kind of beat up because I was going to refinish it anyway. After I get all the sanding done on it then I will take a picture of the before look. I had forgotten to do it in the beginning before sanding. I have gotten half of the sanding done and hopefully here in the next day or so i can finish that up so I can get onto the fun part of refinishing it. I get so excited and want to have it done right then and that is not happening, I keep telling myself I need to take my time and get it right so I do not have to go back later to fix something.

A new direction

I sit here in my home everyday thinking how can I get my ideas and things I want to do out there.
The thing is I know how, it is just actually doing it. I have come to accept that I am a chicken and my fears are holding me back. I am going to try and break through this wall so that I can share my thoughts on creativity, thriftiness, and every day life. My dream is to one day soon start up Little Whimsies, a shop of the things I make and refurbish. In redirecting this blog maybe I can build up the courage to do so with everyones thoughts and suggestions. I would like to look back a year from now and hope I have made some headway to my dream and rid myself of my fears. 

 I will start out by saying that everyday I find something I can makeover, create, or buy to make my home a more cozy place to be for me and my family. I am also a crafter and love making things people would enjoy. 

 Hopefully in time I will get better at this blogging thing because I have been out of practice for a while, but I am going to use this as my outlet to keep up what I love doing.
