Are you following along the path this Year of Gentle Domesticity has been taking me?
I'm discovering many new thoughts to ponder and write about, as well as old thoughts that were sadly neglected for the longest time... but each of them is bringing out a better Jenny from within.
Expanding my heart more fully to embrace home-making in 2015, and allowing myself to enjoy it, has already been life-giving and I've only just begun.
Naturally, homemaking and nurturing a heart of gentle domesticity requires a little added inspiration some days, so I began a new Pinterest board to capture ideas, photos and plans I come across which will help me gain a wider vision of my destination goal than the one I first had when this year began.
Over the course of this year I'll continue to pin photos on the board that give my heart a flutter of delight, inspire my purpose, teach me a new skill, habit or task, or encourage me to polish up on the skills I already have.
If you'd like to follow along, it's over HERE.

I've also been gathering together photos and tutorials of decorating and crafting ideas with a shabby chic, or vintage theme on THIS board because of a decision I came to recently.
I'll share more about that in another blog post.

I found the photo below on Pinterest and added 'home' to it as well because that fridge and the radio, the curtained cabinets and the wooden cutting board, are just like Nana had in her tiny kitchen! Naturally it made my heart beat a little faster...
If you'd like to stitch my Year of Gentle Domesticity design, the pattern is on sale through May for $2.95 here in my shop as an instant pdf download...
I embroidered this on a pretty vintage doily, but have decided I love it so much I'm going to stitch it again on a white background for framing.
What will you stitch it on?
May you have a wonderfully satisfying weekend, dear friend.
I'll be off with my beloved Mr E traveling the countryside, notebook in hand to record my domestic ponderings...
hugs
