Do what makes you Happy.
Here you’ll find some ramblings, thoughts and stories of projects I’ve worked on or want to take on one day. There is always a tidbit to share, a new adventure to take on or an embarrassing moment to reveal so it may bring a smile to someone’s face when they might need it most.
"It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it."
- Dale Carnegie

That Time I Restored a Vintage Couch.
A large part of why I did it was my inner upcycler screaming YES Let’s do this and knowing that if I managed to pull it off, this would never just be a couch to me.
