Me....trying to be all crafty and homemakey...

 So I try out new things...a lot! and they don't always turn out successfully but I still try and expand my little house-wife skills...My husband brought me home this sign that now hangs in the kitchen

and he says I kiss well...I don't know if its true but I do try to both kiss and cook my best so... ;)  

I have made so many loafs of bread, many which have flopped on me...for some reason I just have a heck of a time with bread...I'll get better though.  I've learned how to make hair flowers, bows, and cheering-leading pony-o's.  Made season/holiday blocks, learned how to use Mog Podge and a Cricut machine (thanks to Courtney for letting me borrow it).  Have made from scratch cinnamon rolls, banana and zucchini/yellow squash bread, home cleaners, Italian sauces, and grew my own garden...I feel proud of myself and hope to get much better because, frankly, there's a lot of room for growth but I'm excited for it!

 Huge zucchini from my garden whose insides turned out to be hard with large seeds, just like a pumpkin...weird!!  I'm asking why it happened to this one and not all my others...maybe because it got to big... 

Its fun to try new things!!  Hooray for crafts and cooking!!

All should read this book I found in my Grandma's house "The Art of Homemaking" (*NOT written by a man, my bad, thanks Cami for correcting me!) from the 50's or 60's.  Hilarious, sexist, and outdated but also filled with great advice and mindsets! ...Try to find...
