Process of Discovery

I have been spending time recently thinking about what I want to do when I grow up. Isn't that great since I am 37! Well, better late than never. My problem is that I am a little bit interested in a lot of different things, but they all seem to be creative type things. I hope you enjoy my notes on each new project I take on in my quest to find my true passion.

I am prepping for a big project that I have coming up this weekend. I have been asked to make a cake and decorate it for a Bridal Shower that my friend is throwing. I love to bake and have been experimenting with my cake decorating so this is a great opportunity for me. I'll keep you posted over the next few days. Wish me luck!

I made a great pasta salad for dinner tonight. It was very simple and great for summer. I used elbow macaroni, grape tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, olive oil, salt and pepper. I served it cold with some Chicken Sausage. My family seemed to enjoy it. Here are some pictures, but I am still figuring out how to take good pictures of my food. I'll keep practicing.



Our yard needs lots of work, but since it is overwhelming I am working on picking small sections at a time. Today I started working on the section of the back yard near the gate. I removed grass and weeds and sprinkled the ground with weed preventer. I still need to take out more grass and weeds to clear the entire area. I'm hoping to plant wildflowers along the fence and put some sort of stone pathway from the gate into the yard. I haven't decided what to plant along the house. Let me know if you have any great ideas!Earlier this week I worked on some other projects. One was making new pillows for the living room. Three have been completed and I probably need to do 4 to 5 more.

I picked up some sunflowers at our local farmers market and put together a simple arrangement.

Hope you enjoy this blog and pictures and check back for more in the future!
