Homemaking and Crafting

I was dreaming last night of sewing, patchwork quilt making and loving my dream. I woke up so inspired that I was able to add a vibrant strip of fabric to a quilt I am designing for my niece Bethany. I then proceeded to wrap a gift for a friend’s birthday party I am attending this evening and it looks pretty too.

As I admired my work, I became ever more grateful for the joy of crafting, homemaking and life. I looked up homemaking in Wikipedia and found this definition:

 “Homemaking is a mainly American term for the management of a home, otherwise known as housework, housekeeping, or household management. It is the act of overseeing the organizational, day-to-day operations of a house or estate, and the managing of other domestic concerns”. I realized that I enjoy all these defined aspects of homemaking grateful I have a home to “make.”  I hope you find things you love to do too so that you wake up inspired to jump out of bed live fully in every moment doing something you love.
