"Keep trying... don't give up... never give up"

Yes, I am a mother, and that is a line from one of my favorite songs on Yo Gabba Gabba, that actually seems to motivate my child to try again and again. Who wouldn't love that?

Here I go, attempting yet another blog. I must be the most fickle and uncommitted person alive! However, I seem to keep coming to the realization that I crave to have like-minded women, crafters, mothers, thrifters, (whatever I may need depending on the day) to help buoy me and encourage creativity and determination to make life more beautiful and positive.

So I will try once again, for my husband, who actually laid a doily on his new nightstand, not because I told him to, but because he thought it would look nice (so proud!), and who constantly praises my talents and mothering, for myself, and for this beautiful girl who keeps inspiring me and pushes me to do better,


and for the little girl who will be here in 4 weeks (!), who brings hope to my future.
