I totally agree with you – I had a hard time admitting that my “permanent boyfriend” was actually going to be a husband, and the term ‘wife’ was a hard one for me to handle…especially when I found myself at home a lot. And I used to tell people that I was never going to get married. I’m not quite at the point where I’m ok with trying out the “mother” role, but I’m doing all right with “wife” at this point…although I still insist that he call me, instead, either “darling” or “my marital bliss.” hehe 🙂

The quilt is just lovely!
Cheers!

It’s really, really beautiful, Ashley. The shades remind me of perfect Neapolitan ice cream–in the very best of ways.

Kudos on learning how to sew, and embracing mommyhood or homemaking or whatever handle it goes by!

Your first quilt is gorgeous. You have caught the bug now. Its a slippery slope but oh so worth it. My baby girl is nine months old today and I think I made her 6 quilts before she was even born. There is just such an amazing variety of fabric out there, it is very addicting. congrats to you guys.

This is just beautiful. I too have been a reluctant homemaker…homecrafter, homemoulder…and I am just on the cusp of being ok with it. Thank you for being a lovely example of said profession, and giving new moms like myself a little hope that the writerly, bakery, makerly creative part of ourselves can flourish at the same time as children.

What a beautiful post. Thank you for being honest about being at home and I’m so glad you have found joy in your kids. The quilt is beautiful! I was never a “pink” girl myself until I had a little girl. Now, I do a load of whites, darks, and pinks.

I love this part of your post
“So while the laundry pile might not always get folded right away and toys may be scattered throughout the house you can be sure that there is a constant supply of fresh baked goodness, a small supply of home-grown produce from our little garden and now some hand-made blankets and clothing.”

That is exactly how I feel about my home. I love it!

Love the quilt, especially the Heather Ross seahorses. I made my daughters first birthday dress from fabric from the same line. The quilt seems much more ambitious! And thank you too for that honest post, I’m in a similar position and feeling the same.

This is just gorgeous. What a wonderful mom and “homemaker” you are! Crossing my fingers that one day I can be too!

Thx for sharing your heart in this post. I am a SAHM, but I love it—well, most of the time! 🙂 The thing about raising kiddos is that you touch the future through them. Hopefully one’s children will be blessings to others someday. Then you can die a happy old woman knowing that you made a difference and did your best.

The quilt is lovely, but embracing the incredible role of raising your children, loving your husband and caring for the home you have been blessed with is the part I’m REALLY inspired by. This is an honest, awesome post and it brought tears to my eyes.

So pretty. You’re an inspiration. (I’ve learned to knit, but really really want to learn how to sew.)

The fabrics you chose give your baby’s quilt the look of one well-worn and loved. Very nice job.
Keeping a home for your family is, I believe, the single most important, dignified, and loving job there is. Making the effort to do it “from scratch” as much as possible only makes it that much more special. I applaud you.

I am so excited to see this! My heart jumped… another food blogger who quilts?! Sweet! Nice first quilt. I love the colors… beautiful and understated. I have been quilting since I was a girl, but havent dont much since the baby joined our family. I just picked up the book Radical Homemakers from the library. Check it out – I think you may relate to the new slant on an old word.
