Project-oholic

      I have a confession to make. I'm a project-oholic. Despite the constant chaos I am trying to subdue, I still go out and find all sorts of projects to involve my self in. I don't know why I do it. One night I'll be stressing e about how I don't have enough time to do all the important things, and then the next night I'll have committed to building a shelter for all the stray bats... You think I'm exaggerating, but I have an unfinished bat house in my garage. To further illustrate my deranged mind here are just a few of the projects I've embarked upon only in the past few months, canning (totally new for me, repairing a 1976 MGB car, decorating my apartment (the gallery wall looks great!), quilting, re-landscaping my yard, digitizing family photos...and the list goes on, I really need to learn how to be still one of these days!
     The reason I bring this up now is because I have embarked on yet another project. Sweet old men are just too precious to turn down, especially if they have home grown produce! Driving home from lowes (proud that I hadn't picked up anything to start yet another project) I saw the most precious old man selling apples. And so I pulled over and engaged in conversation only to walk away with 3 varieties of apples in bulk, already considering all the delicious things I could do with them.
      The canning has begun yet again, it was less than 2 months ago I had sworn off of canning because it was way too time consuming and really I am clueless as to what I am doing... And yet here I am. 12 jars latter and I still want to go back to get more apples for pie filling! I must have some troubled soul...
     On the bright side though It was a lovely time spent with the youngest sister, 9 year old Jennie.
Now don't go thinking that this is a "crafty, domestic goddess, Pinterest worthy" blog, because I'm sure it's not, but projects are a part of who I am and thus they will periodically appear, and hey maybe I might actually get good a taking pictures while I'm at it! (Oh goodness I guess that's yet another project to add to the list)
