Over the past few months I have found myself really enjoying simple, domesticated things. Maybe it's my "nesting instinct" kicking in? I have had so much fun cooking, baking, planting, gardening, and to my pleasant surprise, sewing. For our 4th of July trip to my parents' house, I made zucchini bread, homemade cheese marble brownies and chocolate buried cherry cookies (which were phenomenal!). I had the best time baking up a storm in my kitchen while listening to some of my favorite music.
While visiting with my family, my mom gave me a baby quilt-top with the letters of the alphabet so I can embroider it. I started working on the stitches after we got home last night and I cannot wait to work on it some more! There's something about sewing a blanket for my own baby that makes the project so appealing. In the past, my mom has tried to get me to sew and I was never really interested - mainly because I didn't have the time - however, now everything has changed. (Thanks for never giving up, Mom!)
This is a picture of a hydrangea plant that my sweet brother and sister-in-law gave me as a housewarming gift. It has just started to bloom. I love it!
