day one

This is day one of my blog. I’m sure I’ll cringe as I reread this at a later date, but here goes…

My name is Megan. I’m a 36 yr. old mother of two small ones living in Michigan. I work outside my home on a very part-time basis (about twice a month). Most of my time is spent caring for my five year old Henry, and my two year old, Freddy. Henry is in Montessori every weekday morning and Freddy is home with me all day. I love to make things and spend a a good amount of my (very limited) free time sewing. I find I’m most productive after my kids are both asleep for the night. I love doing patchwork, quilting (on a small scale, so far), clothing for kids, bags, purses, pillows…I could go on and on. I love thrifting for fabric and end up collecting lots of other things as a consequence.

I find there is not enough time in the day…oh, what I could do with an extra hour every day! So, why, you may wonder, am I starting a blog, which will take up even more of my time? Well, the short answer is this: to be able to share a bit of what I make with others, to give a little glimpse into the everyday chaos that is life with little ones underfoot, and to keep far-away family and friends up to date. (Was that a short answer?)

So, come back and visit often. I’ll be regularly posting about things I’ve made or am making, bits and pieces of our life, and things that inspire me.
