Homekeeping

Life is but a basketful of little things, someone once said. The same can be said of our homes.

We can add romance and comfort and beauty to our homes — it’s up to us!

• Mix your own homemade non-toxic cleaning supplies
• Craft a batch of potpourri from garden roses that can retain its scent for up to 50 years
• Sew a simple apron from a dish towel for a child – bet you can’t sew just one!
