How I did it
How to streamline my studio
It took me
5 days
It made me
Relaxed and Inspired

How I did it: Sometimes you just have to admit to yourself you're holding on to something for sentimental reasons or because you don't want to have wasted your time. My studio is half the size it was, and now that I have a toddler I can only work on artwork that I can drop at a moment's notice, so I needed to make some tough decisions about my stock of supplies.I stopped making cat clothes years ago when places like Petco started selling cheap, mass-pr… Read how I did it…

How to grow an oak from an acorn
It took me
5 months
It made me
Accomplished.

How I did it: My son found a sprouted acorn on Thanksgiving, the day before he turned 18 months. I decided to plant it.1. It had a tiny hole in it from a parasite so I put it in a cup with a wet paper towel for a week or so. Two white worms came out and drowned.2. The ones that had sprouted and had burrowing roots outside had cracked in two, so I carefully cracked the shell (but didn't take it off) and put it in a small pot of potting soil that had 6 m… Read how I did it…

How to make pasta from scratch
It took me
4 days
It made me
Hungry

How I did it: When I moved to a house with a counter in the kitchen I invested in a stand mixer with the place for other attachments. The only problem with that is the attachments are expensive so it's going to take some time to get everything I think I'll use. There are roller types that attach to the mixer and some that work with a hand-crank, so the expense left me a lot of time to decide.

1. My parents are visiting and Sagan was only shy for a few minutes.

2. Mom is going to take my cotton fabric to a quilting group on her way back to Florida in the fall.

3. Sagan had birthday cupcakes a few days early and did a great job with the candles. We’re spreading his birthday out over a few days so he doesn’t get overwhelmed.

Ugh.

I don’t think I’m going to make it. Too much craziness happened. I only have 11 days and I don’t want to force out substandard work.

It’s a good thing I didn’t make this a personal challenge.
