Liebe das Leben ~ Love Life: Jack of all trades. Master of none

"Jack of all trades, master of none"... this phrase describes a person whom has many talents, yet does none exceptionally well. I feel this is a common saying that is used to describe many men that have a general knowledge of their "trades", handymen. My boyfriend is handyman and I would have to agree he has a general understanding of most "trades", master... not so much.

Well I believe I am also a "Jack of all trades"... learning to be the master of many.. It is not just for the men. My trades are not electrical, plumbing, mechanical, etc... my :"trades" are much more fun:

Gardening
Baking
Pottery
Building
Wine Making
Cooking
General crafting.. That totally counts right?!
Is entrepreneurship a trade? if not it should be!

I will admit, I am at the beginning stages of all of the above, possibly not even at the jack of all trades level. I should really consider myself a dabbler of all trades as I clearly enjoy many different things. But I want to become a master, not just at one thing but everything I enjoy doing! Becoming a master takes time (which I seem to never have), patience (working on this one everyday) and education (I have the tools I need for this one). So as I am still introducing this blog, and what it represents, I would like to share with you a few photos of my first trade.. Gardening!

Here is my garden, well technically it is Kevin's and mine we have worked and built it together, so our garden.When I started believe it or not it was a pile of junk... actual junk that was just collecting at the edge of the property. People say blood, sweat and tears... well this garden would not be here with out it!

The beginning (unfortunately I do not have any before pictures)
