A Bit About Stonehaven
Stonehaven Life is an online project of MindsEye Productions (sounds very corporate, doesn’t it?), a husband-and-wife partnership that operates out of an old farmhouse in rural New Brunswick, Canada. We call our house "Stonehaven" because it’s got an awesome foundation of huge granite blocks, and a lot of rocks in the vegetable garden.
A Bit About Me – Rick Atkinson
My professional and freelance career has cut a swath across several fields, contributing to my unique mix of interests & experiences – musician… retail manager… video producer/editor… beekeeper… CAD designer… woodworker… do-it-yourselfer…
Looking in the rear-view mirror, the common themes that seem to tie my life experiences together are the core values that I believe are integral to accomplishing goals that truly stand up to the test of time:
- Take the time to plan - believe me, haste really does make waste
- Be a team player – whether leading or following, be an asset – not a liability
- Details matter – if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing your best
That said…
Stonehaven Life – DIY@home is about sharing the collective knowledge and experience we’ve all gained along the way, and investing what we’ve learned into our most treasured retreats – our homes.
Welcome to Stonehaven Life.
Cheers,
Rick
