Life is Art

My life, as a mother / lover / writer / seamstress / cook. Whew.

Life is Art is Kelly Hogaboom in small, digestible bits.

Featured Project: Bike Chaps

This design was actually entered in the Etsy/Instructables Sew Useful contest. These are functional, cheap to make, and sold on Etsy within an hour or so.

accomplishments that are worth a damn to ME anyway

Published by Kelly Hogaboom on Sunday, November 05, 2006 at 6:38 PM.

Tonight I brought the following dinner to a friend who recently had a baby:

Chicken salad

Cold sesame noodles
Peanut sauce
Rooster sauce
Satsuma mandarins
Two-layer cake with chocolate frosting (my friend's favorite), all from scratch.

I also made marshmallows and sewed hats.

And no, I don't work my ass off nor have a messy home nor a rigorously clean one. Nor do I use TV to "babysit" while I do these various activities. I do however have a relatively ordered home, a joy in learning how to care for it, a husband who participates in housecleaning, and children who (more or less) know how to entertain themselves or even assist me in the sewing room or kitchen.

I have found my groove in life, again.
