though most of the blogs i keep tabs on belong to friends and family members, i have also fallen in love with some that are created by people i don't know who write about cooking, baking, gardening, crafting--the domestic arts. i know that most of the regular/semi-regular readers of this blog are resourceful, creative and talented in some or all of these areas and i, for one, would like to read about it. so, in the spirit of samantha's post-a-day challenge for the month of june, i have a new challenge to propose. it won't require daily blogging attention, but you'll probably find fodder for posts on a daily basis.here it is: once a week during the month of august, create a post about your own forays (successful or not so) into home-based arts and/or crafts. how's the garden looking? what did you make for dinner? how did you keep your kid/s entertained at home on that rainy day? what's on the needles/crochet hook/table saw/lathe/embroidery hoop/sewing machine? how are those home-improvement projects coming along?
please announce your participation in the domestic arts challenge in your first post so i/we can keep up with your at-home adventures!
These pictures are really beautiful!

i so wish i was creative enough to accept. alas, i cannot knit, i have a black thumb, and i have very little time to cook these days. if i come up with anything, i'll post. but i can't officially take on the challenge. although, i did purchase fabric in iowa city at knit cafe which kenda is going to use to make me a bag. does that count? :)
