This is my first post.  And it’s taken me long enough to sit down and actually write it.  It’s easy to get caught up in doing things and general procrastination – in this case I was putting off writing the obligatory first post.  There’s just no helping it.  It’s awkward.  But I’m avoiding again.  (First thing you should know about me:  I’m a lazy person, yet I tend to make myself busy).

My name is Julia and I have wanted to start this blog for going on 5 years.  Sometimes the topics I want to focus on have changed — “I’ll write about books! and learning to cook! and baking! and knitting! and sewing!”  But crap, I’m not actually an expert in any of these things.  I just love to do them.   However this blog will end up evolving, I plan to write with an honest voice and I hope to be a fun/happy place for people to stop by.
