Domesticated?!?!

The other day I was making dinner, Michael came in the kitchen and said, "You're so domesticated."  BLEH!!!  I think he meant it as a compliment . . . However, I've never liked this word.  It always made me think of some kind of animal that you're trying to tame and make behave.  I do realize that to be "domestic" is not necessarily a bad thing though.  So here are some "domestic" things I've done lately:

When I was in Virginia my mom taught me a crochet stitch and I made a blanket.
Sorry, I'm not much of a photographer, but you get the gist.
A close up of the stitching.
When I was in Maryland my very good friend/sister, Catherine, taught me how to sew.


Now, these next few pictures you may think are an announcement of some sort . . . they are NOT!  Catherine taught me to make baby blankets and burpers:





Again, just to be clear, I am not currently pregnant, but do hope to be someday.  I think those are the most domestic things I've done lately.  Also, now that I live with my husband and we have an apartment I cook, clean and do laundry.

    Double thumbs up. I'm impressed by your blanket! Way to go! Ya know, I think that the word domesticated really does mean an animal that doesn't eat people. And you are an animal who doesn't eat people. That's all Michael was trying to say.

    I am chuckling over this one. "Domesticated." Ah, good intentions! Emily is right, hopefully you aren't eating people. Stick to pancakes is my advice. I love being domestic. I have several projects I can't wait to get to! Love you two SO much! Have fun, burnt pans and all. Now that pan is broken in!

    As a crochet-er myself, I am very impressed with your blanket. Beautiful work! Those baby things are as cute as can be too! I do hope they get put to good use soon. It would serve my little sister right to be a grandmother before me! Ha!

    I don't mind the word domestic. It's the word "bleh" I wonder about! Does he want a pampered princess that can't cook and thing so he can always eat fast food? Oh, wait...He loves fast food!
