Well I have been busy with many projects for the month of July…
1. I made my own curtains for the kitchen! Note to anyone who sews: If you come to my house please don’t look at them too closely as there are sure to be many flaws. The last time I have sewn was in junior high TLC and let’s just say it was harder than I thought it would be. Thankfully Jeremy’s mom was in town to help me start them. I love how they turned out!
2. Homemade baby food
The thought of making my own baby food has always sounded like such a daunting task… which is probably why I didn’t start till my baby was 9 months. But I decided to give it a go and I love it! It is so easy and I haven’t bought baby food in a month. It has saved me a bundle and more importantly Max LOVES it! Yes, that is spinach all over his face. I had dropped some on his chair and in the 1/2 second it took me to grab a rag he managed to wipe it all over his face. Yummy!
His favorites seem to be spinach, peaches, baked squash with a bit of cinnamon, corn chowder, and every fruit combo I have tried. Thanks Kendall for inspiring me to make it:)
3. Jewelry! My friend Shanta was nice enough to teach me how and it was so fun to learn. Thanks Shanta!
4. Cake Decorating! Ok, so my cake struggles. But I learned how and now I have no desire to do it again:) Very time consuming. BTW- It’s a dinosaur on top in case you can’t tell. It’s a little sparse in parts because Max got impatient with me.
5. I made my own Jewelry organizer! You can learn to make one here. I found the video on line while I was searching for an answer to my pile of tangled up jewelry. It looks sparse right now because I need to figure out a way to hang my necklaces too. Any ideas? Hooks are the only thing I can think of… So it’s a work in progress.
Ok, ok, am I domestic yet?

Yes, you are Definitely domestic! I am very impressed, you even made your own baby food! I have always wanted to do that, now I'm just happy if they actually get fed anything! I love the jewelry organizer! I really need to come up with something, because I never wear any, because I can never find it! Thanks for the idea, I'm going to have to steal that one!
