The "Art" of Home-Making Mondays ~ Inspiration #7

“I enjoy doing housework, ironing, washing, cooking, dishwashing. Whenever I get one of those questionaires and they ask what is your profession, I always put down housewife. It's an admirable profession, why apologize for it. You aren't stupid because you're a housewife. When you're stirring the jam you can read Shakespeare.”

    Ah, I too am inspired by Tasha. She was spirited but had quiet ways.

    I love that quote of hers, and several others. I was so happy a few years ago when I ordered a used book of hers, A Time to Keep, and when it arrived it was signed - to ME! The inscription read "Greetings to Laura, Love Tasha Tudor, 1998". I was thrilled to say the least. :)

    I literally just pulled "The Private World of Tasha Tudor" off the bookshelf yesterday and was so inspired by her beautiful gardens that I went outside today and worked in mine. :)

    My favorite thing about Tasha Tudor was her love for homemaking. She saw it as an elevated thing, and we can too!

    It is interesting how the world has tried to shame this wonderful gift and calling. Being a housewife is a beautiful thing!
