If I Only Knew...

Have you ever wished that you had knowledge or talent in an area where you have absolutely no knowledge or talent?

I have.

I do.

I am.

There are so many things that I wish I knew about or wish I knew how to do.

For instance, sewing.

I really wish I knew how to sew.

By hand or by machine - I'll take either one.

I have gone so far as to look up where I could take classes, and I've even looked at machines on Craigslist.

Just think of all the things I could make!

Curtains!

Pillows!

Cute vintage-style dresses.

The possibilities are endless.

Another thing I really wish I knew how to do was carpentry. 

Or "build stuff" as I would most likely call it. 

I would make wall decor.

A gorgeous dining table.

What? I could make it...

Or maybe this little beauty that I have been drooling over.

That little corner bench would be per-fect in our breakfast nook.

Unfortunately, I not only lack the know-how, I lack the tools.

If you are skilled in either of these areas, please come over.

I will love you forever and pay you in cookies.

But really, I know my sister's boyfriend is in carpentry school and I hope he knows I have plans for him...

PS - I survived my first day of school! I can already feel the stress mounting after only 2 classes, but I think its going to be a pretty great semester!
