I, Too, Used To Be Cool And Do Things! 😅 I Need This Shirt In My Life!🦊❤🦄🌈 Fowl Language

It's finally starting act like autumn in Tennessee. It's raining. Yesterday was a balmy 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Today is around 50 and soggy. So I have a good reason to stay inside, drink more coffee and hot cocoa, and work on the dollhouse 😄 Incidentally, I decided around midnight, last night, to add onto the kitchen. It will now have shelving and a rolling style barn door. Pics on the progress up soon! #rainydays #farmlife #nature #autumninthesouth #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #coffeegoals #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #ogdolls #ourgenerationdolls

Happy Birthday to my awesome little fox! I love you so much!🦊🎂🍦🎈🎉🎁

This has been my WIP over the last few days. My friend, the fabulous @brimalaspino , has done beautiful Mehndi work and she inspired me to try doing a mandala for my #bulletjournal * The mandala was drawn with a #sakuramicron pen and, accented with gold foil #washitape , and then colored with #watercolorpencils * Since I didn't want to cover up and mar all the intricate work I had just done, I used thin vellum to create my weekly spread overlay. More strips of gold #washitape accent the weekly layout and tracker sections. * I can't wait to start writing in this #weeklylayout !🦊❤📖🖋 * #bulletjournal #bujo #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #art #weeklies #colorspectrum #rainbows #gold #bujobuddies #micronpen

The Laundry Room is finished (for now 😉) and I am now in the process of planning and designing my next project! This one took me a little longer than I expected because I had to paint the curtain rod by hand, since I ran out of metallic silver spray paint (which would have sped up the process). The curtains are made from a handkerchief and the towels are cut up from old wash cloths that I was going to throw out. The washer and dryer are from @ogdolls and were purchased @target The small accessories are from OG and MLA sets. They are the OG Car Wash set, the OG Laundry Day set, and the MLA Cleaning Caddy set from @walmart I made the dryer sheet box, and dryer sheets, from an actual dryer sheet box. The lamp is a flow-in-the-dark lamp from @dollartree Marble paper is Recollections Scrapbook Paper is from @michaelsstores and the wood plank and brick paper is @americancrafts scrapbook paper from @joann_stores The blue paper and white floral paper is from @hobbylobby from over 10 years ago. Hope you all enjoyed this room! I'll be sharing more pics a little later. 😙 #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #ogdolls #mladolls

It's been raining. Again. ⛆🌧🌫☔The pond has flooded over, I can't get out of my front yard (not pictured, 'cause no one wants to see that mess😐), I had to cancel the new contractor's work today, and I'm praying we don't flood. On the bright side, the grass in the back yard is a lovely hue of green, the cows and sheep are ok, I get to spend the day with Leocadia, and I can sit on my butt and drink coffee at my leisure😊 #rain #raingoaway #comeagainanotherday #farmlife #farm #coffeegoals #coffeeislife

Our first lamb of the year!🦊❤🐑 #farmlife #sheep #furbabies #farm #nature

Easter was nice this year. Leocadia's aunt cooked Easter dinner. I got to see my nephews and Leocadia had a blast. But something has been bugging me about my interactions with people Sunday. I always feel obligated to blend in, to be pleasant. For me, that can be a lot of work and is physically and emotionally draining. A family member, at one point, was having difficulty get up from a sitting position on the floor and I suggested trying yoga. She laughed and asked if I had done it. I said yes, I did it for years, and my last class was at xmas. I've done yoga for years and I'm still limber enough to do some difficult poses well, despite the fact that I'm not skinny. Thet challenged me they told me to prove it. They didn't believe me. And I was expected to immediately start doing yoga poses for these people without centering myself.😑 Now, this should have raised red flags and questions then, but being me, I wasn't thinking about that, just trying to fit in. I realized they were laughing at me. They were belittling me. Why? I've noticed that this has become a trend with them. They constantly question my statements and do not ever believe a word I say. And more often than not, they laugh at what I say. I can't say they hurt my feelings, because they didn't. I can say I am embarrassed that I allowed these people to laugh at me. I have nothing to prove to them, or anybody really, and I need to remind my self of that. So, to my doubters and naysayers- Here's a challenge for you: go to a yoga class with me. And then come to my farm and do all the work I do. Carry 50 pound sacks of feed, bales of hay, chase down cattle and sheep, wade through muck and mire to shoot snakes, chop down diseased trees, feed babies and care for the sick. And do everything else I do while I also raise a child by myself. And then create the things I do on a daily basis. I have nothing to prove to you. I'm a badass. I prove that to myself every day.
