Greetings, earthlings!

I enjoy writing (err, blogging) very much so, although normally it's in journal-form where I can avoid others potentially knowing my everyday thoughts and feelings.

It's time for a change.

I have decided to post about my adventures with sewing, cooking and gardening. One would assume that these aforementioned skills are second nature to women, but alas my friends, that is a big, stinkin' lie that I have sadly believed since I was little. I assumed these treasured trades would magically stream out of my fingertips once I was an "adult" and much "older", which regrettably enough, is right now. At the ripe age of twenty-three, I know I can't scribble down these abilities onto my list of talents, which is why I'm taking action.

I love to cook, however I am not what you would call a professional... or even a novice. I am great at scrambling eggs yet don't know the correct way to boil an egg. I have plans to create a vegetable garden yet lack any knowledge of how to begin; this may also be a problem. My mother is great at sewing and I envy her evenly-spaced seams and rapid hemming that sounds like a machine-gun fire. It's my goal to become good, no, GREAT at these three things.

Here we go.
