Hi! And welcome to Feathered Ruffles!
We are just getting started. "With what?" you ask? Well... it's a journey. We've going whole hog, as they say where I come from, and throwing everything we've got into doing something new. I left a lucrative career last year due to health reasons and finally realized something. No one is going to hand me my life back. And furthermore, I was awfully quick to let Fate take it.... that should tell me something... Maybe I wasn't all that happy in it.
So I decided fate could HAVE that life. I'll just make myself a new one. So I've decided to just do the things I love to do, share them with you, and let God be my provider. That's His job, anyway. I'm just going to do my best to love Him, be obedient, submit to my husband, raise my child, and let Him handle the rest. He will. He always has.

So now that you know sort of (ok not really, but there's time for the nitty gritty in the future once you know me better...) how we got here, let me tell you about where we're going.
First things first, it's to a new bloggidy blog blog site.

Bookmark that one. Because you won't need to come back here. This is all you'll ever find on this site. :) There's not a lot there yet (as of June 2012) because we're just getting started. But it's just around the corner....
As we grow our little happy space, you will find:
Make it Monday: Where I make something in the sewing shop. These items might be for sale in our Etsy shop, or they may be custom orders I am sharing with you.
Tasteful Tuesday: Where I explore a new recipe or share an old family recipe. The only thing I can guarantee is that it will be tasty!
Well-Rounded Wednesday: Where I deal with some aspect of figuring out how to homeschool one over-active brilliant boy-child with an attitude.
Thrifty Thursday: Where I share my tips for home maintenance, shopping, saving money, fixing things, and re-purposing what you already have around the house.
And finally:
And finally:
Fly By The Seat of My Pants Friday: Where I literally will make it up as I go along. It might be Dear Melle questions (which I L.O.V.E.!! Come on! Hit me with your best shot!) or it might be another sewing project, or it might be something DIY. I might just ramble on about the colors in the crayon box. You just never know with me....
I just love making new friends, so I hope to see you there!
