The rules are simple: Just copy the meme from my blog and post it on yours, answer the questions, and tag your friends if you wish. You don't have to tag anyone, if I tag you, you are more than welcome to just play along, but do let me know so that I can come and read yours too :)
Most of my favourite blogs are 'tag free', but if any of my readers do this meme please let me know!
Plus, I just want to add, even though it's a 'homemaking' meme, you don't have to be a full-time housewife or anything to join in, we all have homes and most of us enjoy some aspect of making it nice - whether it's decorating, cooking, family get togethers, some people even like ironing...Sandra!...LOL
Aprons - Y/N If Y what does your favorite look like?
I have aprons, but I don't often wear them. This is my fave, it's a bit vintage looking :)
Baking - Favorite thing to bake?
Fire! Da da daaaar! I am renowned for my attention span issues in the kitchen. Here is a little picture I have in my kitchen, which sums me up nicely! :)
Clothesline - Y/N
YES! There is nothing more satisfying than a line of washing hung out. I love the look of it flapping in the breeze and the smell of it when you bring them in.
Donuts - Have you ever made them?
No! See note on my baking above. Haha.
Everyday - One homemaking thing you do everyday?
Washing (laundry). Wipe around the loo. Cooking. Washing dishes.
Freezer - Do you have a separate deep freeze?
No.
Garbage Disposal - Y/N
No. Not something many of us Brits have.
Handbook - What is your favorite homemaking resource?
The internet I suppose and my lists! Lists, lists, lists!
Ironing - Love it or hate it?
I like it when it's done... :D
Junk drawer- Y/N - Where is it?
Haha, yes we call it a 'man drawer' where all the batteries and screwdrivers and random nuts and bolts end up.
Kitchen - Color and decorating scheme?
Teal flowered wallpaper, blue tiles, white shaker style cupboards, butcher's block style worktops.
Love - What is your favorite part of homemaking?
Making a home for my family. When it's all done and we have time together to talk and read and stuff! I also like old fashioned stuff. I have lots of doilies and my Nan's paintings around the place. I like wood and natural things too. I like a home to look comfortable. I also rather like gardening, I'm not particularly knowledgeable, but I love flowers and watching bees. LOL
Mop - Y/N
Yes, but I don't like it. Much prefer hands and knees because mops don't get into all the corners. But I do use my mop...it just isn't satisfactory! :D
Nylons - Wash by hand or in washing machine?
Nylons? Are we in the 1950s? Haha. Well, if I wear tights (as we call them over here) I pop them in the washing machine. Having to handwash makes my eye twitch. LOL
Oven - Do you use the window to check on things or do you open the door?
I open the door and every time the sudden rush of heat melts my eyelashes.
Pizza - What do you put on yours?
Mmm, mushrooms, peppers, olives. YUMMY! Oh and mozzarella is the best cheese - stringy!
Quiet - What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?
Bible study, read, watch Morse.
Recipe Card Box - Y/N
No.
Style of house
Old fashioned. Lots of wood. Woodburner stove. Smells of lavendar and polish. Oh yes, that would be my fave. Cottage garden. Or a Hobbit hole, I'd love to live in a Hobbit house.
Tablecloth and napkins - Y/N
Tablecloth.
Under the kitchen sink - Organized or toxic wasteland?
Washing powder, dishwasher tablets, various cleaning stuff...
Vacuum - How many times per week?
A few times a week, but not everywhere. The stairs need a few times a week because they are red and show up every bit of muck. Downstairs is done regularly because the girls trek in sawdust and hay from the guinea pigs!
Wash - How many loads per week?
At least 7! I'm a bit obessessed with laundry, I think I've picked it up from my Mum. I love my wooden pegs too, they remind me of my Nan: Beautiful Simplicity.
X's - Do you make a daily to do list and check it off as you do things?
Listomania! Oh yes, I am LIST WOMAN! I have lists for my lists.
Yard - Y/N - Who does what?
Yard? Over here a yard is a small flagged area, but I know this means garden. Yes we have a garden and I generally do the gardening. The hubster does mow the lawn on occasion and help with big stuff, like digging up bushes and the like.
Zzz's - What is the last homemaking task you do for the day before you go to bed?
Make sure the kitchen, living room and bathroom are respectable. :) Or, apply - what my dad calls - the 'sod it principle' and fall into bed instead.
Happy days. xx

Hahahaha yes, me and my ironing.
I love the picture in your kitchen LOL I always laugh when you talk about burning something, just because it's so you and I love it.
I would totally live in a Hobbit house, without a doubt.
This was so much fun to read, thank you so much for playing along xoxoxo
Made me laugh! I may resemble a few of these myself.
Hobbit houses are just my dream, but I'd plump for a thatched cottage or a local weavers cottage if I was pressed. LOL
Haha, glad I'm not alone in my madness. LOL
I liked reading your responses. I would like a hobbit hole, too. Cozy!

I love your list, you're a kindred spirit! BTW, I have the "To err is human, to arr is pirate" on a t-shirt.
Aren't they lovely? All wood and cosiness. :)
It's a great quote - combines my two favourite things - making mistakes (ha) and pirates. :)
