Engineering Success

I grabbed my candle lighter and got to firing that brass knob.. At a certain point it occurred to me that what I was actually doing was holding a flame up to a part of my beloved house and heating that part up more and more.. Um, no.. As usual, I didn’t want to wait to see the results of the natural tarnishing so I grabbed my trusty dollar store craft paints and did a little faux magic, instead of you know, setting my house aflame.. -Wipe on a dab of black everywhere, including in the nooks and crannies.

working from home.Really, I think that everyone who can string a sentence together should have a blog.

Everyone has some knowledge or experience to share that would be valuable to other people and the time you put into a blog really can pay off in a lot of ways over time.Plus it can be a lot of fun!.There are a lot of bloggers who put countless hours into the work they do on their blog, but I’m not one of them.

I really am inspired by all of those ambitious bloggers who work from dawn til way past dusk every single day, plugging away, learning, growing, and providing so much value to their readers.I even think I might like to be like them when I grow up.

I’m totally someone who’s inclined to be just like them, only there’s just no way that’s going to work for me and my family right now.

I’ve tried to squeeze in a little extra work here and there all day long, either while the rest of my family is out doing something together, or while they seem to be distracted enough for me to sneak off to my laptop, but I always end up feeling like I’m missing out on all the fun or worse, I feel like a terrible mother for getting annoyed when someone asks for a snack or wants me to come hang out with them.Once the eggs are all side-by-side, the holes are hidden completely!

If you’re still having a hard time getting the twine through, try grabbing it with tweezers and pulling it through the hole.It worked for me!.

This is a great Easter decoration.It looks so nice paired with pretty things like satin ribbon or even rougher natural things like reclaimed wood and jute.. It’s also a fabulous family project!.
