A short introduction to how we're both about to waste our time-
I really can be very productive. I make stuff all the time. There are days I can cobble together dinner from a container of mushrooms and an onion. I can do ribbon embroidery. I have painted a self-portrait. I made cake toppers for my kid's first birthday all by myself, heavily aided by the interwebz and powered by anxiety and frequent whispered curses. I could probably crochet a car cover if necessity warranted. I am currently re-doing all the pillows in my living room with patterns I'm inventing.
Thing is, I just never seem to have the free time to finish most of my projects, especially since I decided to go forth and multiply. Motherhood and working Wifehood aren't really conducive to really polishing up my jewelry making skills. My two year old has very little respect for the concept of sorting beads. I know a lot of moms model themselves and their households after the Pottery Barn/Martha Stewart standard and I would LOVE to do that. I get all started on it, then I nap. So: get ready to be underwhelmed, for the most part. In Spanish we have a saying, Guerra avisada no mata gente. No people die in a forewarned war.
