Domestic Interest
I have had all these Suzy Homemaker urges these days. It is starting to frighten me. I even like my husband. Scary, no? I made applesauce the other day. The kids and the husband picked apples off the trees in the yard, and I peeled and cooked them. It looks like poo because I put the cinnamon in while it was cooking instead of after, but it tasted awesome.
Okay, please try not to laugh, but today I sewed an apron. Yes, an a p r o n. I checked out Egg Money Quilts by Eleanor Burns from the library. I checked it out because I saw the QIAD episode on PBS where she made the apron. I thought it was cute and would look good in some funky retro-type fabric. And I think it does. Here is Harley modeling it for me:
I have been cleaning around the house, too. Well, I think that is what I was supposed to be doing today or something while Nathan is at his friend's house overnight playing WoW all day and night. At least that is what he told me he wanted me to do. I made stuff instead. Cleaning? I am not that domestic. In my defense, I have been better about being the house nazi and making sure everyone keeps their crap out of the way more. The house in in no way "clean" but it is a hell of a lot better than is has been. I just keep telling myself that it is better and that is what counts.
