Here we go with our first ever Blog! I've been wanting to start a blog for about a year and a half, ever since we adopted Calder, the furry member of the Shepherd family. Guess I have finally thought about it long enough to plunge in and get started. And besides, if I wasn't doing this right now, I'd be painting the wood trim in the sewing room.

I really should be helping Papa Shep with tonight's work. We're painting the bedroom at the front of the house, which will soon become my sewing-quilting-scrapbooking space. It sure will be good to once again have a space dedicated to my hobbies. Our home in Michigan had lots of wonderful space for storage of my crafty supplies. And, over the 13 years we lived in that great home, my hobby spots had evolved into wonderful, perfect spaces for me to work on my favorite projects. In our cozy desert bungalow, I'll need to be very organized and space conscious, but thank goodness, I get a whole room to myself!

I'll try to post some pictures when the room is done. Now it's time to help paint.
