Domestic?

So, we all know I'm not the domestic type. I don't like to cook (at all!), I don't scrapbook, I'm not overly enthused about cleaning, I come very close to killing my plants on a regular basis, and my "garden" last year was pretty sad! And I'm just not the cutesy, artistic, creative type of person. In fact, the only "art supplies" that I own are markers, scissors, and tape. I don't even have any glue, much less paint or glitter or whatever other artsy things are out there. I would much rather spend the entire day cleaning the barn than suffer through any of the tasks just mentioned.

However, I must slowly be making progress!! John got me a bread machine for my birthday and I've been making cinnamon raisin bread on a weekly basis. (I've "upgraded" from a standard loaf of white bread to cinnamon raisin.) I love peeking into the machine, watching as it kneads, rises, and bakes...all without any extra work from me!

This was my first loaf. But it's been much improved upon.

And WAIT...there's more! Mom got me some fabric for Christmas so I could sew a bag for Jenna's books and toys at church. I've been working on it since January and I FINALLY finished it! It was a ton of work, took a ton of time, but was a ton of fun! And I think it turned out great!! I'm very impressed with myself! :)

(Even Irish likes the bag!)

I think this is about as domestic as I get for now. Although I might branch out and find a new yummy bread recipe to try. Or figure out how to make the too-short pajama pants I made for John longer...
