Change is Good

As you may have noticed, I've changed the name of this blog. I've been thinking about making changes to this blog for some time. I've never wanted a blog that is just a listing of my thoughts, or a journal...I want a blog about something that I do. I live a simple life, with not many exciting excursions or adventures to tell about, so I end up just expressing my thoughts. At first I was going to cancel this blog altogether because I wasn't happy with the result of my random ramblings, but I've decided that I might just have something to say. I keep life simple by doing projects. Brian and I are pretty good at scratching a few pennies together to make a living, doing things ourselves or learning to do without, so that is what this blog will be about from here out. I plan to post about tea-making, furniture making/remodeling, the projects that accompany farm life, putting away food, etc...and I'm planning to make a wool rag rug this summer, so I'll be posting about that! So hopefully someone besides myself will find this useful.

Now, the name...We've been struggling with that a little. Brian and I have decided that Quaint is probably the best word to describe us. Quaint has 2 definitions: strange, odd; and old-fashioned, nostalgic...well, we are just that! Synonyms to Quaint: original, peculiar, whimsical,  antique, charming, enchanting, picturesque...all words that would express my feelings about our lifestyle. I love living life the way we do, figuring out how to get by, or learning to do it yourself. It's something I've always loved. So here goes: a blog about living simple and quaint.
