When I started this blog a few years ago, I did so as a place to document and share my crafty/decorative projects. We were living on a 300-acre ranch back then, last updated in 1974, and a great deal of my creative energy was being spent in making avocado shag carpet and harvest gold countertops look like we wanted them there, while working with a budget of basically nothing. I was also making a little cash by repurposing old furniture and hosting a booth at a crafty retail store.
As my circumstances changed, I let this place morph along with them and began to unfold the work of my heart into these posts, and not just the work of my hands. It became a refuge for words and thoughts as I worked out in print all the things God was doing, and this it still is and still shall be.
Every once in awhile, though, I get the itch to return to my roots, so to speak. We moved into a new place this past December and in January declared 2012 my year of
Home. That has turned out to mean something entirely different than I had imagined when I embarked on that journey, but we're rolling with the punches. Despite the total chaos of the recent days, what with the two new babies, friends in from out of state, getting a new (to me) car, and
signing a book contract, my house is sorta clean every so often, and I have to capture those moments for prosperity.
Without further ado, here's a taste of something different -- a WhimsySmitten home tour, Instagram style.

It's not the well-crafted home tour with great photography that I'd intended, but it's the quick and easy way to show you my home in the midst of mi vida loca. Hope you enjoyed it! Now, when you comin' over for a visit?
