Crafty Idea. I has one.

I have neglected my blog. I get that, but for good reason...too much on my plate! With the fall semester rolling to the end (today actually), I have exactly one week and 3 days until summer semester and it's going to be ROUGH. So I need to get my butt in gear and do some planning. I will have to maintain my 40 work week along with class three nights a week until the end of June, then I pick up an internship. The internship will consist of one evening seminar a week and 3 hours of consultation one morning per week. We also are going on a week vacation in July to TN and will be taking a trip to OBX in August. Within all this fun, I still need to maintain a sense of sanity, keep house, make meals for my family, and take care of the boy. How do I do it all? Seems impossible, but it always works out in the end.
There is one other thing I want to do. A hobby of sorts. I want to impart my creative skillz and try my hand at decorated cakes/candies. I've tried scrapbooking, that just didn't last. I love too cook though, so that's why I thought incorporating my cooking skills into a hobby would be more exciting. I am a horrible baker though. I can make a cake, but anything else usually ends up in ruins. So it will also be a challenge. I'd like to do something that other people would like to take part in. Have you seen Etsy? I mean just look at all the awesome handmade goods out there! And I'm seeing more and more local farmers markets and locally made products around town as well. I think we should all get back to homemade/handmade products. It's cheaper, higher quality, and more natural.
So I have my work cut out for me. I'll have to make a plan, schedule out dinner menus for the fam in advance, especially when I get home late every night of the week. And did I mention I need to work with my child on Kindergarten prep too? That's a whole other ballgame there! If I gather up what I need for this cake/candy idea throughout the summer and brainstorm, I should be set up to try it out in the fall. It may fail, but it'll still be fun trying!
