fall home tour - thistlewood farm

remodeling a vintage farmhouse in the middle of the country

i am so excited and honored to be part of finding home farm's fall tour today

have you ever had a day where your to-do list stretches around the block

you are going to multi-task

you sweep off the back porch and water the flowers and go over your speech

it becomes amazing day at the farm

simple

the conversation goes a little like this

her: what do you think of vintage maple buckets

now you've added….drive to wal-mart to buy a sewing needle to your to-do-list

instead of multi-tasking….you're extra-tasking

multi-tasking is awesome

but trying to get everything done in double-time be overwhelming and exhausting

so today my friends….take a lesson from someone who almost lost the shirt off her back

press the pause button

a giant shout out to better homes and gardens

if you are stopping by from jones design company

so nice to meet you

enjoy the tour

you try and get it all done

truly

you try and try and try and try

somewhere…..in the middle of all that trying…

….you have a brilliant idea. 🙂

i know….right? i thought it was an amazing idea

things at the same time

crossing two items off the list

brilliant idea you tell yourself. simply brilliant

it has to work. i mean

how it be

kind of like rubbing your stomach and patting your head

at first the it works like a charm

you sell t-shirts

you edit all the photos

you become the most efficient of people

like talk show might call you up to interview you to see how you get it all done

seriously

if you were a superhero they would call you the efficienterator

your list gets shorter and shorter and shorter

you b twice and there's a at the end of the tunnel

why didn't i try this before…..you tell yourself

it's going so and zipping by so fast

until

until it doesn't

until you decide that you are going to sew a ruffle onto a and talk on the phone to your best friend on the phone

i mean….isn't that what speaker phones are for

you: hello

her: i need your opinion

you: of course. you have come to the right place. my specialty is opinions

you: i love them. what a fun idea i think i……)

……ohhhhhhh nooooooooooo

pause

silence

you

you get off the phone because you've sewed your shirt to the ruffles on your

yep

then when you try to get the two apart

times

the moral of the story? the lesson learned right here in the middle of this fall tour

slow down

take a break

then look around at the beautiful fall outside

….and tackle one thing at a time. 🙂
