I am so NOT perfect

Remember this cute little Spring Jelly Bean Topiary I made the other day?

Remember how I also told you that I made two but wasn't ready to show you both because one needed a little bit of tweaking?  Well, here is the other one now:

The stupid thing wasn't centered perfectly on it's dowel and I knew I had to fix it but since I was equally stupid and decided to set it out for the time being anyway, I sort of deserved what I didn't see coming.  I heard a loud thud followed by several little rolling noises when I ever so lightly shut a door in our house, and was just tickled pink to see this.

I know it's kind of funny, but not so funny to me after I spent forever gluing those blasted jelly beans on to the ball and they almost all came off!!!  For an impatient person like me, it's a task to sit still and glue jelly beans for that long.  Oh well. 

The moral of this story is, I am so NOT perfect. I doubt any of you thought that, but since I typically only post about my successes, I just want you to be fully aware that I definitely fail many times along the way before I succeed.  There you have it, the truth's out. :)


I wish I had a great post for you tonight but I don't because I am very busily working on several projects right now that you will be hearing all about in detail soon. Can't wait to give you the dirty deets on all of them!

  • Upholstering a chair for my very first "real" client (almost done- got a lot finished today)
  • Searching for furniture to refinish and creating a design board for my sister in law's Master Bedroom Makeover
  • Last but CERTAINLY not least, working on plans and trying to make decisions for our back yard landscaping
All this of course in addition to the responsibilities of a mom/ maid/ cook, in addition to my real job as a dance teacher busily working on choreography and extra rehearsals with my students for their competition pieces.  Phew!  Life is wildly busy but I wouldn't have it any other way...

Please tell me some of you operate on this same level of craziness with me?  Pretty please?

  2. I keep it real as often as possible. Especially if I have a problem during a tutorial... I try to show what can go wrong and how to fix it if it does. Sometimes it's a major fail. Those jelly beans were tedious work I am sure, and that's such a bummer. :(

  3. I'm only laughing because oh so many times I've said in one breath, "This is so cute! I love this!" and then in the next breath, "I hate this stupid thing!" LOL. Glad I'm not the only to have those "Oh Phooeey" moments. :-)
