So many young women today think of being Domestic as a stereotype they would rather avoid. However, there is a resurgence in the domestic arts; knitting, baking, gardening, sewing, and other home-ec activities have made a comeback in recent years. There is no doubt that the eco-friendly movement has spurred this handmade revolution, this craving for simplicity. In this day and age where there are three remotes for the television, a phone in every room, every pocket for that matter, the bare necessities have become a thing of the past. Whatever happened to home-made cookies? Freshly made bread? A hand-knit scarf? A home-grown tomato? These images conjure times of the past, but they can be the future.

Young women, ages 18-25, are often very busy at work, in college or starting families of their own. Ladies, do NOT forget your roots! In the hub-bub of the day, do not turn your back on freshly made cookies(not Pillsbury!) or gathering flowers from your garden. Become a Domestic Daisy and create your New Age Nest. New Age, because we are not living in the 50's, New Age because we have reached the age of adulthood and it is time to begin our apprenticeship into the forgotten domestic arts. "Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."-Arundhati Roy

Welcome to the Domestic World.
