I’m a wife and mother of 2 with a full-time job. I have no time for a blog or for diy projects but I have a real passion and desire to create and build and say “I did that myself”.
I’m a jack of all trades, master of none. I’ve taken ceramics, stained-glass making, woodworking, sewing, seasonal planting, cake decorating. I know enough to be dangerous with an electric screwdriver and have used chewing gum to level a shelf. I get a thrill out of making copycat expensive art and scouring craigslist, garage sales and ebay for my next ‘before and after’.
I think it’s important to teach my kids “a penny saved is a penny earned” and to teach them the self-discipline and self-confidence that comes with making something with their own hands.
