And the tale begins...

With a new name and a new blog, I am starting over. I had two other blogs before this one but neither of them really made sense. One was completely personal, totally about my family and the other was completely business, all about my "working at home mommy" ventures. Like a pair of skinny jeans that just don't fit my expanding butt, neither one fit quite right.

So here I am , starting over. I have already done the about me section but I wanted to explain a teensy bit further. I am Alexis, lovingly called Lexi by my friends. I prefer Lexi since it makes me feel young. I am facing 25 this year and the closer I get to 30, the harder I quiver. I am not ready for 30.

I am a mother and wife to my family before anything else in my life. My son K is a wild 17 month old and I am growing another little man in my tummy. We will call him G. :)

I am a creative butterfly (and slave) to almost all things crafty. I LOVE to create things with my hands. There is no better enjoyment then to know that my fingers, my joints, my muscles, my eyes, and all sorts of other equipment (needles, hooks, yarn, beads, etc) helped me to create something beautiful, useful, and hopefully something that can be kept as an heirloom.

I am a perfectionist and spend countless hours researching new techniques. Google and I are good friends. I also spend lots of time working and reworking projects until they come out just right.

Lastly, I suffer from a horrible disease called "Lexsomnia." It's an awful sickness which keeps my mind running at all hours of the day, forces me to stay awake finishing yet another project, holds my eyes open to finish reading about some new technique, and causes me to never get a good night's sleep. My son is still not totally sleeping through the night so the Lexsomnia does give me something to do while I wait for his next fuss fit but living in a constant state of delirium is hard work.
