I will start by introducing myself, which will be close to a repeat of what I have on my "About" page.
Basically, I am a mother of two lovely little creatures; my son will be 5 in August and my daughter will be 2. They are my everything and the air I breathe, and I am in love with my life. I work outside the home part-time as a barista at a local bakery, and I also manage to maintain a very relaxed cloth diaper WAHM business from the home. I design fabric on Spoonflower, and I enjoy crafting, sewing, babywearing, dyeing, upcycling, reading and writing (I am working on a sci-fi fantasy novel that I hope to publish some day when I can manage to write more than a few sentences in between naps). On this site, I hope to add plenty of resources for other DIY-ers, my fellow Pinterest addicts and fabric hoarders, and my sister WAHMs who fight every day to finance their hobby by selling their handcrafted items. Whether you intend your creations to be for personal use or for profit, kudos to you for exploring your talents and making it happen! I hope to add some of the following types of blog posts in the near future:
In addition to the above, I would also love to include resources that I come across as I venture into the world of homeschooling. My family and I love the idea of natural learning and "unschooling", which is a form of interest-led, child-led learning. I will be adding more info on that later! Well, that it about it. I sure hope this blog post isn't too long and I've made some kind of weird blog faux pas. Haha! Thanks for reading!

I love the blog name! Your mad Hatter tutorial really makes me feel like I could really make something like that. Of course I know I can't and would probably end up sewing myself to my creation, but at least you explained it where I learned something.
