I am not Martha...but neither is Jenna

Although I tend to think of myself as a domestic guru...I am not Martha Stewart.

Today JennaLou and I decided to make these lovely gourd bowls we saw on the Martha Stewart show.  They turned out less than perfect!

To all my family and friends who think I can do no wrong when it comes to craft...you should see the bowls.  Totally unworthy of a photo...they will decorate my table for my up-coming Halloween party...and then they may be in a landfill near you.

This week has been full messes followed by more messes.  My house is literally a disaster zone!  Although I prefer to live in cleanliness...I will settle for a creative dwelling where mess is permitted!  Unlike my lovely parents...whom I adore...I can see lots of potential in artsy clutter!

I have a small tribute below to the people who make this entire adventure of mine possible.  All of you are probably thinking...how does she do all of this and raise such a beautiful baby...well the answer is...I have lots of help.

My Nana is completely responsible for my creative self!  Although some days I wish to throw in the towel...nana swoops in to iron for me (fabric and my husbands clothes).  Having her stay with me this summer has been fabulous and although she will undoubtedly have more fun in Florida away from the cold...she will be missed here in Minnesota!

Jahred...if any of his friends read this blog...they will soon find out the truth about his after hours!  Jahred irons snappy wallets in his free time!  He is quite good at it!  When he is not ironing...he is keeping me company in the wee hours offering little advice, but lots of laughs.  The nursing program doesn't know whats coming...he is talented!

To all the purchasers of my goods.  Keep up the good work...and put in an extra effort this holiday season!  Support moms...not just me...we have lots of creative energy and would love to make your holidays brighter with some love from our studios!
