Welcome

Welcome to my new blog, Domestic Creativity! I'm starting this as a way to record various things I do and/or make: recipes, crafts, photography, mommyhood and whatever else comes to mind. One of the things I want to do this year is a Project 52. I've completed a Project 365 for 2011, taking a picture a day for an entire year. Project 52 is taking a picture a week for a whole year. I need a break from the picture a day thing and I think I'll put more thought into my photos if I'm only committed to doing one a week (though I'm sure I'll take more than that!).

I've been cooking and decorating cakes for years and I love trying new recipes. Hopefully I'll come across some winners to share with you over the coming months. My other hobbies include reading, crochet, scrapbooking and cardmaking. I've been doing traditional paper scrapbooking for quite some time but starting this year I'm going to switch to digital. I love the idea of having the slim photobooks on my shelf versus bulky scrapbooks. I still love my old scrapbooks, though, I'm just thinking that, from a practical standpoint, I need to conserve space a bit.

My new year's resolution for 2012 is to learn to knit so I hope to be able to share some of my creations here once I get it figured out. I know how to crochet but knitting seems like a completely different ballgame. Any tips would be much appreciated!

On that note, farewell, and I hope to have something more interesting to post soon.
