Like to multi-task and juggle many different projects at one time? Lots of different interests? This is the place for you! :)
Hello and welcome to my blog! I am new to this whole blogging thing, so I hope you'll bear with me.
A Fine Line Between Creativity & Chaos. "Why that name?" you may be asking. Well, here's my reason:
I tend to always have at least a dozen projects brewing in my brain at any given time, and at least 4 of those projects taking up real live space in my home. For example, here are most of the projects that are currently up and running in the house I share with my wonderful fiance:
|
Me with my wonderful fiance, Garrett, just after he proposed :-D |
- Planning and preparing for my wedding on October 13, 2012 (woohoo!!!)
|
The Antique Silver & Silverware |
- Cleaning, polishing, inventorying, and properly storing the antique silverware from my father's family
- Inventorying my late grandfather's coin collection (sorry, no pictures until later)
- A stamp collection I started several years ago
- Don't worry, I know this one's pathetic. It's gonna move on to a better home as soon as I figure out the best way to pass it along. :)
- Harpist, pianist, vocalist - instruments, music stands, and music included
|
My harp! |
|
My piano! Need to dust! |
- Adventures (and some misadventures) in cooking
|
Zebra Cake |
|
Rainbow Cake |
|
Gruyere Black Pepper Popovers |
Wow, even after making that list and actually seeing it, I am a little appalled by the number of projects I have going. I thought about changing the sentence above where I greatly underestimated by saying that 'at least 4' projects were taking up space. But no, I think a big part of this whole blog process is to reveal myself and make myself a little vulnerable. No trying to 'save face' here, at least not just yet. (ha!)
So here I am, coming before you: My name is Emily, and I have an addiction to projects. :)
So, here are some of my goals with this blog, and some of the delightful, informative information you have to look forward to if you decide to follow my blog:
- Share with you some of the projects I am working on or have already completed - individual steps, how-to's, progress, dilemmas I face, successes, etc.
- Share some of my attempts (failed and not) to keep the clutter and chaos under control
- Share the recipes I find, and some of the recipes I modify to make tasty food
- Share useful information and tips that I find and discoveries that I make for all of the above
- Share some of the new items I add to my Etsy shop ( I PROMISE no spam!)
- Lots of pictures to accompany all of the above
Hope that sounds like a blog you might be interested in!! :)
I will try to post about a project within a week, to give you a 'real' post rather than just an introduction. In the meantime, here are some funny/happy/silly pictures from my life to help you get to know me.
