Leave Me to My Projects
I’m Edward Scissor Hands living in a Martha Stewart world, and this is my story of DIY, life and the space between.
Scroll and explore. I think you’ll like it here.
When it comes to living, you have never gone by the book.
You live non-traditional, against-the-grain, off-the-beaten-path, and you live it hard.
But you’re getting married or already are, having kids or already have some – you’re settling down, and your rebellious, badass self can’t help but feel like you’re settling somehow.
But still you idolize Martha Stewart, and the handmade, homemade, from scratch life. An identity crisis, that’s what that is.
Suddenly surrounded by all of the trappings of a grown-up life, you’re searching for a way, a place, to live a happy, healthy, crafty, stylish, well-adjusted life without turning into a Stepford family.
I hear you. Leave Me to My Projects exists because of you.
The mission of this blog is guide you down the rainbow brick road to living your life your way, on your terms, with crafts, projects, guides and inspiration to last you the whole year long.
Consider this your personal guide to growing up, living weird and living well.
