The true look of a multi-passionate person’s desk with sewing projects covering up notebooks and spring seedlings growing in the window still. The drawers are filled with unfinished projects.

My Dear Reader…

Here is a list of all the projects I currently have started and not finished (yet) or want to start:

• Publish two videos a month, instead of just one to our Youtube Channel (already have video ideas and outlines lined up for the next four months)

• Sew new oven mittens

• Plant seeds and seedlings in our vegetable garden and greenhouse

• Knit my husband a new sweater

• Sew a patchwork dress for my girl

• Start doing voice-overs for my Substack newsletter

• Write a newsletter on The Struggles of Young Homemakers

• Make my own ricotta-cheese

• Put up a roadside stand and sell home-baked goods and home-grown seedlings

• Get on with the spring cleaning

• Finish writing the 4 books that are in various stages of completion.

As you can probably already tell, I am a very creative person. It is something I take great pride in, but also comes with some pitfalls…
