..and so the story begins!

I suppose I have always had a desire to share my passions, just lacking the confidence to take the leap. Now that I am starting to implement some of the changes that I have been visualizing in the house, I feel compelled to share the journey.

The thought of actually stepping up and doing these projects both excite me and terrify me. I love the planning, envisioning and putting things together, but the actual manual labor and the power tools scare me. I love spending hours on Pinterest and Instagram, making perfect digital moodboards, and then hounding my husband when he can’t finish the projects fast enough. So I have decided to take matters into my own hands. Literally.

Initially I want this to be anonymous. At least until I feel comfortable sharing. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t get to know each other!

So, 5 quick facts about me:

• I have too many hobbies; I play the flute, the piano, I knit and sow and bake. And I try to garden.

• I love living in the country. The quiet, the birdsong and the smell of flowers and the ocean speaks to my soul.

• I enjoy making my own food. I bake my own bread and make my own jam.

• Hiking is seriously underrated. It brings me peace of mind.

• I drink scary amounts of coffee.
