Instagram, Anyone?
I want to thank you all for your words of support and encouragement in my last post, A New Journey. It means so much to hear from you, and very inspiring to read your comments regarding the fact that Twice Remembered was one of the first blogs you subscribed to. :) It is also endearing to me that you understand change and moving on and will be moving along with me. I don't know what the future holds, but I certainly have goals and am very excited about what's in store.
Right now, I'm a full time cake decorator. {Did you see that coming???!} My job is to make desserts, so not very many complaints there, other than I have a lot less time than I once did. I've been on my own for a little over a year, since Valentine's Day of last year in fact {after moving in with my folks for three months}, and I can't believe the positive changes that have taken place in my life since then. It has been scary at times, I have to admit. {see cell phone photo below, snapped post-separation/ pre-divorce when I was sleeping on a mattress on the floor of my old Twice Remembered studio, in the midst of trying to figure out my next move} I was a stay at home mother for almost 20 years and any work that I did was part time and from home...plus it certainly wasn't work that I had to do to keep a roof over my head. So I've had to hurry-quick learn to be self-sufficient, which is a very, very, GOOD thing. I'm growing, as we all are.
As I mentioned in my last post, I'm working on a new blog, or at least a new blog design. I've been on the fence about whether or not to stay "here" and just change the scenery or to move entirely. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
In the meantime, please join me on my instagram page...See Twila Dream {Twila has always been my creative name that I've added to paintings, etc. for years, thus the name of my instagram account.} I'll also be posting here until the new blog is ready.
Before I go, check out this dining table that I found at Goodwill last week for only $19.99. {Yes, $19.99...crazy, right?!} It's an old solid and heavy Duncan Phyfe table that is screaming makeover. I've bought the paint and am ready to dive in. Stay tuned...and Happy Saturday!

Wow! Your cakes are beautiful! Are you self-taught? Perhaps you could just continue here where you have always been, and we can see your new style as it has evolved from your little cottage. Ten years (?) is a lot to let slip away! I am curious to know of your new living situation. Are your girls still with you? Maybe just the youngest? You seem to be very resilient as you make your new life!
How nice to see you again! And to hear you are doing well! I am in the process of separating toward divorce and figuring out my next part of life. Like you, i was blessed to be a stay at home mom for over twenty years, not having to support myself. It is scary, hard and exciting to start again with such different responsibilities and dynamics, but I am eagerly looking and moving forward. It is inspiring to "know" someone who is successfully making it work. I look forward to following your blog, whether here or a new "home." Happiness to you :)
I think you should stay here and just redesign the blog instead of starting over. Good luck regardless, look forward to your posts again!
well, even though you are on a new journey, the past is still relevant. In all things. So I think redesigning this blog sounds just as good as making a whole new site.
After my divorce I crashed with my parents for three months too (but with three little ones in tow, yikes). It is so hard to come into the job market after being a SAHM. But just one step at a time... one open door leads to another, and then another.. and pretty soon you're running your own bakery ;)
I see you on Twila, but where are your children?
