This week on my blog I'm sharing how I got organized for such a big project. Do you guys go through as lengthy a process as me, or do you just go with the flow?

I love your ideas! I subscribed to your blog. I don't have a system yet but I am also trying to create one.
Blessings,

I visited your blog and 'Farm Made' and took a look at what you create. You are quite talented. I loved it all.

To your question....I do both....I make color charts and sketches, keep a folder with the info in it, box up the materials like it's a kit....but then, once started, I wing it and go with the flow. There are so many variables and interruptions that stop the process. So, I guess I'm an organized mess!

One of the best compliments from one of my daughters: "Moma, you smell good...like dirt."

LOL Catherine! That is so true. I always think of the verse, "Man makes his plans, but the Lord directs His steps."
I can plan all I want, but I've got to stay flexible too, otherwise it would just be frustrating.
