My New Blog!

    I get this feeling that people think I am highly productive. I admit I have a lot of interests but I always feel like none of them get their fair share of attention. I`m a flitter-er. I run from one direction to the next as my attention span and interest allows. I could be elbow deep in my veggie garden yanking carrots while my brain is plotting out the next five chapters of my novel. My mind never gets quiet.

     Ever.
   
    I use to have three blogs, one for my homeschool activities, one for my `homesteading`activities and one for my writing. While I still have one dedicated to my writing, I found it hard to keep up with both a homeschooling and a homesteading blog. Like I said, my interest waxes and wanes. For a while I struggled with finding interesting topics to write about and after months of neglect I gave up both. I caved under the pressure of being fresh and spunky.

    Enter amour stone in my front garden (I swear it just jumped right out in front of me). One visit to the emergency room later and I had a pair of crutches and one very swollen appendage. I sat for a week on the couch unable to do much more than watch television since reading and writing seemed impossible with the amount of pain I was in. I did however begin thinking about my neglected quilting projects. I was reminded of intended homeschool lesson plans and activities. I began to wonder if I could have a unified blog to chronicle my haphazard attentions and Willow Hill was born.

    Willow Hill is the name I gave my house when we moved in two years ago. If you are a fan of Lucy Maud Montgomery like I am then you know any good house deserves an equally good name. I decided on Willow Hill since one of the most enjoyable features of my yard is a lovely, large willow tree. I have always wanted a house with a willow tree. The tree also happens to be my children`s fort since they can climb in and up without ever being seen. And since my house and my children are my life I saw it only fitting that my blog honour them.

 

 Some of the topics I plan to write about include: quilting & sewing, homeschool projects & ideas, (amateur) interior decorating & (equally amateurish) landscape design, vegetable gardening & preserving, scrapbooking & card making, recipes & gluten free living, and any other random topics that pops into my pretty little head. Don`t say I didn`t warn you!
