Someone stole my identity!!! I stumbled on your blog looking for slip covered ottomans. What a lovely blog you have, you are so honest &amp; blunt, I hear my self talking while reading your blog. Even your life is very similar to mine, I too am very casual &amp; live in jean &amp; sneakers or clog all year. &amp; when you say paranoid, that is me too, it is one of the reasons, why I do not blog or facebook or twitter. I met my husband when I was 18, and have been happily married now for over 16 years, we have 2 awesome daughters now 10 &amp; 12 that we also have home schooled for a few years. One of the best decisions of our lives, &amp; the best thing we have ever done for them. I highly recommend it!( I have so many how to home school books you are welcome to have it.) I am SOOOO jealous, you are still living my previous life, that is before we started our own restaurant business. So now I have literally no spare time to doing things that nourishes my soul. I too love to create &amp; sew, I LOVE stripes, gingham &amp; polka dots. I love to cook &amp; bake but most of all decorate. I major in Interior designing in University, &amp; miss all the creative process. My passion is now reduce to reading blog &amp; lurking at other peoples creations. We also live in a very old 1940 Muskoka home, that we are gradually attempting to transform to a look like the Hamptons. We also have renovated just half of the home - &amp; now it has a Jeckyll &amp; Hyde persona :) Until I win the lottery, it will have to stay that way for awhile. The only thing that glaring different from us would be I have virgin hair that has never felt the heat of a straightening iron, (I am born with stick straight hair that refuse to curl) &amp; I do wear make up at all but boy do I love buying them! I heartily agree LIFE IS GOOD!maominoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674799112433924938.post-55802313556043488592010-07-16T21:45:39.619-05:002010-07-16T21:45:39.619-05:00How cute are you??? You sound like a fantastic person, I also live in the coldness that they call Montana.Summer is 2 months if we are lucky!<br /><br />I am glad to know that it takes years to accumulate all that craft stuff cause I am new to all of this and I am finding it to be quite addicting and pricey.

LOL:)<br /><br />I have one little boy who&#39;s two and trying to get the courage to officially start &quot;trying&quot; for the second. It will be a boy too. 5 generations back...2 boys!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your blog. I just started mine. I do a little visual design one day a week for a local garden center and antique, thrift, cook, garden and repurpose for the goodness of it. Caroline Ingalss on Little House is one of my &quot;idols&quot;<br /><br />Anyway...most blogs like this are from those lucky southern girls who are thawing out right now while we still freeze so I thought I&#39;d say hey!<br /><br />-Tenneil Downs<br />www.dirtyhands-beautifullife.blogspot.comDirty Hands-Beautiful Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04368728857947111896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674799112433924938.post-3606050342805648112010-02-07T23:32:36.053-06:002010-02-07T23:32:36.053-06:00hello I was thinking about starting a blog.
