Divalicious

In pursuing The Gentle Art of Domesticity, I have, so far this year, made homemade pickles (which have yet to be deemed tasty--or even edible--this Friday will end the 2 week waiting period--so an update will be posted after the taste-testing), lasagna soup (so yummy) and rolled/frosted sugar cookies on two separate occasions. Each of my sons chose these are the goodie-of-choice to take in to their classrooms on their birthdays.

These were not meticulously decorated, impressive cookies. These were misshapen, come-as-you-are cookies topped with copious amounts of garish icing and M&M's. They were very well received with their teal, fuschia, and chartreuse coloring and rainbow candies. There may at some point be pictures...

So what's next for a domestic diva like me, you might ask?

Well, I haven't gotten started on that knitting resolution yet. Frankly, I'm not all that certain what the best way to begin is. If I'm interested in knitting socks, should I just buy a sock pattern, or do I need to start smaller?

But any way you look at it, I'm evolving--and quite enjoying myself.
