The Musing Begins

Since becoming addicted to Pinterest, I have had the opportunity to read through a lot of different blogs that have just inspired me.  I love all of the decorating details and the funny stories.  I have read a lot about moms living in the country and making quilts and jamming, and I am incredibly jealous!!  That is my dream.  Right now I live in a pretty big city in the south but yearn for the North Carolina mountains.  We actually bought a second home up there about 4 years ago that sits on 2 acres of land, but financially it is difficult and we don't get to get up there enough.  With 3 boys with sports we are contstantly at the mercy of their practice and games.  Even though I am in the city, I am constantly trying to learn how to be more crafty and homey and this is why I began this blog.  This will give me the chance to express my thoughts and ideas and also my progress on turning my life into something I get great joy from.  Right now I am working on a ribbon Valentine's wreath and I am also trying to teach myself how to crochet.  With 4 children, it isn't always easy but it keeps my sanity!  So look forward to further postings on crafts I am doing, recipes I like and books that I am in love with.
