Back in the Country Blogging

So, when we got back to the country, I spent some time thinking both about life and my blogging future, two *totally* equal issues, right? In terms of life, Mike & I are working on getting together a happy little stateside life for ourselves, working on jobs, someday apartment, unpacking and general wedded bliss. Two things are now happening, 1) I am feeling super nesty because we have been unsettled for too long, and it's winter and 2) as a result of our trip, I have a renewed and energized desire to be more conscious about my choices in life and more crafty. I really like having a hand involved in the things that go into our lives. So here goes, a blog filled with what I'm reading, making, cooking and thinking about, and some random anecdotes, because that is also a big part of my world.
