My name is Janene Renee Tindall - Welcome to my web site!  Below you will find my blog, a random stream of stories of my thoughts and experiences, including quotes, photos, links, and more.  My interests range the gamut from painting, drawing, crocheting, needlecrafts, and cooking to reading, antiquing, flea market shopping, traveling, journaling, and of course home and family.  See photos of my art and life by selecting the "gallery" link above.  Check out my etsy site (www.rusteddragonfly.etsy.com) for my latest handmade creations for sale.  On May 20th, 2007, my husband, Chris, and I welcomed our first child into the world, a son we called Benjamin Michael (www.thetindallfamily.com).  For right now, I am enjoying the life of a stay-at-home mom before I have to return to my job in October (part-time, hopefully).  Together we own a store called The Weed Patch (www.theweedpatchstore.com), where we sell country, primitive, folk art décor and gifts.  Sometime within in the next year I hope to get my small business up and running, called Rusted Dragonfly.  My vision is for Rusted Dragonfly to be a one-stop shopping resource for unique paper arts, collage, mixed media, assemblage, and journaling supplies and toys, but for now I am selling my own handmade art and craft goodies.  We’ll keep you updated with photos and musings on my blog below, so please feel free to check in often and enjoy the journey with us!

Breakfast in Tub



I had a nice morning today. Well, at first it wasn't so nice - I kinda feel like I'm coming down with something, and I did something rotten to my neck because I can hardly move it. So I took a bath to see if I could loosen it up a bit. Aaaaahhhhhh.... I haven't taken a bath since before I had Ben. (Well, I've bathed, I just haven't taken a bath. So, here I am in this gloriously yummy water, complete with orange and peppermint essential oil, when Chris brings me my favorite tea, then proceeds to make me breakfast and bring it to me in the tub. He hands me this mess of eggs and veggies, which really didn't look all that good, but it was GOOD. Really good. He just brings it in, and says he hopes it tastes good, then "oh, and I took photos for your blog." That was the best part, it cracked me up. Now he's taking photos for my blog. I love it.


It's kind of hard for me to remember to take photographs of my life, which is especially unfortunate as I never seem to remember much of anything unless I have photos to remind me. Blogging has been a wonderful way for me to start taking more photos. So has having a baby.



We've been pretty busy around here, but pleasantly so. We're starting our most difficult and exhausting, but fun time of year - converting the store to fall! Within about two weeks we should have all the fall stuff out, and it is so much fun. I don't know what it is about September and pretty much the rest of the year - it's like a universally loved season. I really enjoyed spring this year. And I am thoroughly enjoying summer. But autumn....oooo, I can't wait...
