Cottage Remnant

So, as I pondered over the past year (whew a lot has gone on) I am left with the question....What is the purpose?  Not asked in a "poor me" state, but in a state of... "o.k., so what now"?

• I am pretty convinced that I am some what creative, and that I require a creative outlet to be happy.
• I would love to be living on a hobby farm somewhere, with some chickens, couple of sheep, and wonderful vegetable and herb garden.
• I would love to be making my own EVERYTHING I could, from soap and candles to butter and honey.
• I would love to be crazily creating everything and anything to the point of running out of room to store it all.
• I would love, love, love to be settled with who and where I am in my life.

I think you get the picture... :0)

What are my facts:

1. There are lots of creative outlets available, I just need to find the right niche for what I love to create.
2. Hubby is not interested in living in anything that requires a lot of maintenance a.k.a. money, unless I have a good job.
3. We do have some yard for a container garden, WE just need to learn how to be successful.
4. Nothing is really stopping me from creating anything....other then my own fear of failure.
5. I can be creating with the idea of Farmers Market this summer.
6. With hubby having lost his job after 30 years, buying a small farm house anywhere is totally out of the question.....it is pretty settled that I am moving no where anytime soon.  I best learn to love where and when I am.

So as much as I would love to live on my own Homestead, I cannot.

But I can learn to make this home as much of our Homestead as I can.....

So stayed tuned for the transformation journey of this two story basic home on a quiet subdivision street, into a wonderful working homestead...
