Awhile back I started a little homemaking experiment. And then I started posting about it on this blog. But then I started posting other things and the homemaking posts disappeared until Jessica from Sew Home Grown contacted me. She gave me the opportunity to write my feelings about homemaking on her blog. That post (which is pasted in below) reminded me how much I loved and needed my experiment. So now, every Saturday there will be a post about our adventures in the art homemaking or some sage ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking Makes a Comeback
Ok...so awhile ago I was blogging about my adventures with a little "Homemaking Experiment" that I was doing using some of these little beauties from decades past: The experiment hasn't stopped but the blogging about it had until sweet Jessica from Sew Homegrown contacted me about it.

Freezer Jam. And a homemaking post.
Four years ago this month marks an anniversary for me that brings up mixed emotions. At the time, it was one of the hardest emotional experiences I have had.

I need help. I feel like I'm always working, always moving, and always behind. It's exhausting really.Ms. Hoole says that, "An ideal homemaker plans a program or a schedule for each day so that she is the master, rather than the victim, of her work."And since, as I stated earlier, I am increasingly falling victim to my work I have chosen scheduling to be my first topic to tackle in my revised experiment. In her book "Project Organization" Marie Ricks says that "A well-used calendar is an ... View the Post

A Whole New Line Up
Move over Mrs. Hoole, I've got a whole new line up! (And it's stunning if I do say so myself.)Things are about to change with my Homemaking experiment. (Recently I realized that my experiment was too small but too unfocused...too broad but too narrow...too much information but not enough information...) What am I talking about?Can't tell.Yet.I've been stewing over the change for several weeks now and I almost have all the rules set.Almost.Monday morning all will be revealed.Until then I am ...
