It was about a year ago that I first got the idea for this project and when I was explaining it to the random people sitting at my table at a workshop, I was full of hopeful optimism. Our workshop centred around using a picture book in the classroom called "How to Heal a Broken Wing". At the end of the session, one of my table mates observed that I was a bit like a calloused foot (I guess she meant rough around the edges?) and that perhaps I could call my blog "How to Heal a Calloused Foot". While possibly an accurate analogy, I didn't think it had the appropriate ring to it.
Now, after a year of half-hearted attempts and repeated domestic failures, I am ready to admit that my project didn't quite pan out. I am no closer my goal of becoming Martha Stewart-ish than I was when I first began. I am, in fact, still a calloused foot!
And since my year is up, a calloused foot I will remain. Project Martha Stewart Me has come to an end. Short of an intervention by Martha herself, I don't think there is any hope for me...
