create and cook

it was a slow day at work, and unfortunately when stuck at a desk one has to find other things to fill the time. Yesterday was full of that. http://www.pinterest.com/  - this damn site kept me printing, cutting, browsing, and inspired for hours. i urge you, especially the ladies who love to DIY, check it out. but, as a warning...leave plenty of time for yourself.
i found recipes, DIY projects, hair styles, quotes and the list continues for hours... literally, 8 full hours easy.
anyway, i have always loved the crafty chic way of putting things together, or wanted to be one of those people who could whip up an HGTV room in a day not spending more than 200 bucks through thrifty clever ideas... but, until now... i haven't even thought about attempting this shit.. because lets be honest nothing ever looks as good as when you see it done by someone else. usually effortlessly as well - which is always encouraging. not.
regardless, i have a season goal. annual goals don't work, idc what you say they don't so, i give you the seasonal goal; create and cook. a little inspiration for a new season will go a long way. it allows me to get a little excited about cooking something and seeing the reward, taking out the camera and enjoying some time alone, considering this is usually the case on most weeks. the diy crafts will come with time as i dont see the point in putting together clever wall art, wreaths or furniture ideas. i want a place to call my own before that can really take off, but when it does..watch out, and be jealous.
i look forward to this and hopefully it will get me through until the next phase of this little thing called life.
with an event season staring me in the face i find it slightly difficult to stay motivated, especially with the what's next on the tip of the brain, but hey... at least i have recipes to keep me busy. so bring on the utensils, the camera, the canvas and the paint because it seems like a right fit and after 10 years or so oogling while walking through Doylestown at all the things i'd love to be able to do...i mind as well start somewhere. So, thanks to this seasonal goal..and that damn website... i wish myself the best of luck.


by the way, i am off to a good start - pumpkin bread with choco chips last night was a success... next up; spinach chicken cheese bake, and maybe even a fun wall key hanger. picture to follow.. if i don't blow it ;)
