Wow, what a lovely room! Thanks for the inspiration. I love how you have incorporated such a fun, colorful, and yet simple design for your kids.

love your potholders, meg.
and i do still like MSL. i don't keep back issues any longer - i got rid of them all in the last move and it was very liberating. if there is something i want to make or do, i tear out the article. but really, i use it mostly for visual inspiration and creative inspiration. sometimes just looking at the beauty makes me look around with a different eye, a different perspective. i never bought it for the home keeping information. it was always about the food, the crafts and the visuals. that said, i LOVE everyday food and the girls are constantly in the old kids' issues. i wish they would go back to doing those.

I agree with Nan. I never subscribed to MSL, but whenever I leafed through it at the grocery store, I was turned off. The homes were beautiful, but it always looked to me like you'd have to spend hundreds of hours decorating and cleaning your house. And then where does taking your kids to the playground fit in? I always thought it was important not to go overboard on the "respecting" the homemaker's responsibilities approach. Yes, it's important, but women also have brains to use that the outside world desperately needs!

This is *amazing*. My husband and I just purchased a home that is small and while we only have one kid now with one on the way, we are planning on three. So it's so refreshing to see clever ideas like this when we live in the world of McMansions and Iove finding ideas like this. Thanks for posting!

I've lost interest in the magazine as well, though I still enjoy the styling and the photography when I receive my free copy. In defense of the magazine, though -- for long-time readers like us, how much more new crafting/teaching is there to write about? Hasn't so much of it been done already? It seems like after such a long time, there's less and less fresh material to cover.

Oh Martha Martha Martha. There were days when I walked away from one of her shows or articles and felt just awful about myself b/c she set the standard so high but other days I was inspired. Ironically, the theft seemed to start after she was released. lol
Love the Potholder!

Its all pot holders all the time. Now you're just making me feel bad I haven't done any sewing this week! Love this pot holder te best so far.
My thoughts on Martha are, yes, she may be a bit insane but who else is creating good, interesting content for this many years? I know she has a team behind her, but I still think you can't write 75 books and have zero smarts!
