This lovely fabric has been inspiring me to do something with it … it was a gift from a dear friend who used the original piece of fabric for lovely bunting for the girls’ room. A small piece was left over … just enough to help me create a fabric covered book … a home making book.

I have always thought those books/binders sounded weird. Why would someone need a binder for taking care of their home?

Seven children later and a house that needs maintenance … recipes that strike my fancy … details regarding homemade cleaning supplies, essential oils and herbs … where to plant and what to plant in the spring … yes, a homemaking book is indeed a handy tool.

 

However, I could not bare to place an ugly plastic binder on my shelf in the kitchen. I’m a firm believer that things may as well be pretty in your every day use.

 

This lovely rose-covered fabric? It fit perfectly over my homemaking book.

{Thank you, Cath Kidston. And thank you, Kate.}

 

 

 

 

 

I created some pages to go inside the binder – some with encouraging quotes or Scripture and others to identify categories, such as herbal, homemaking, homeschooling, natural remedies, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I look forward to filling the book with details on this lovely task of homemaking.

 

Do you have a homemaking book? What do you keep in it?

I have created a link to the title page, along with a few category pages, if you are interested in using them to help you make your own book.

P.S. It is definitely spring (even if the weather does not agree) as we are over-laden with fresh chicken (and duck!) eggs. Are you a local reader? If you would like to be an egg customer, just send an email. We would be happy to fill your egg basket!
