When I say that I have been busy that is a complete understatement! Between getting ready for Brimfield and trying to take care of my son and plan his first birthday I am completely exhausted. I have been falling asleep every night on the  couch by 10:00. For me that is really early!! Gone are the days of staying up till 4:00 in the morning painting and getting last minute projects done.

The last time I did the Brimfield show I had all the time in the world to prepare. Since becoming a mom, as many of you know it’s a constant challenge to get even daily tasks done let alone try to work a part or full time job. I do have a babysitter once a week as well as family members who watch my son. In total they watch him about 10 hrs a week. In those 10 hrs I frantically paint, sand, decoupage, hot glue, plant, reupholster, tag items, do inventory, maybe eat lunch if I am lucky! I do at times feel like I am barely keeping my head above water. At night is usually the time I do laundry, clean, catch up on overloaded emails and if I am lucky sit down and try to write a blog post.

Tonight is one of those nights that I have a small dose of extra energy to write something. Must have been that tea I ordered today that turned into a coffee! Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining since I am the one who decided to take on all of these tasks. In fact If I wasn’t so busy I probably would be bored out of my mind! I always love a creative challenge and with Brimfield only a few weeks away I have got my work cut out for me. I do hope that some of you will come out to the show if you get a chance. The last show I did I was lucky enough to meet a few people who had been following my blog. It’s also great to meet other fellow bloggers! To reiterate I will be on Shelton field in area B-57 Tues through Sat. I will try to start posting a little more. I had hoped to write more about Brimfield but that may just have to wait until after the show. I am  also praying to the rain gods for good weather during the show. Until then I will keep plugging away at my numerous projects and am hoping to put on a spectacular show! Happy hunting!
