I,like a lot of other women feel the need to rush through each day helping family,friends and church members, rarely taking time for myself. The feelings of guilt are ever present if I don't get through my "to do list". Well the good Lord got my attention last month with back/hip problems that have slowed me down. I came across your blog a while back but know I'm really beginning to understand the pleasure I get from living a simpler life. I love reading your blog it makes me feel like an old friend has come to chat about a simpler life. Looking forward to another installment in Elefantz" Hugs from Texas.

Oops. I love your 'ramblings'. To me it is like we are having a conversation which has these natural twists and turns.<br />I have a goal to learn more about hand embroidery, so will be following along closely to glean as much as I can from you and the other talented ladies that follow along.<br />Little Miss Cully May looks adorable in her Christmas dress. She has a wonderful Mummy and through gentle guidance will be a fabulous big sister.<br />I hope the New Year brings as much and more as you could wish for.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-31173453321167877272017-12-31T10:34:39.911+10:002017-12-31T10:34:39.911+10:00Your Life's Treasures is beautiful, Jenny.

I like the idea of having a gift stash, and am working towards this goal this coming year. I am in the process of getting my sewing/craft room ready for creating, not long to go before it is finished. <br /><br />Have a blessed week,<br />xTania Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-26439924637917408022017-12-30T17:13:51.773+10:002017-12-30T17:13:51.773+10:00Annabel, thank you!

The words of wisdom in your new design are so beautiful and good ones to remind ourselves of. Hope those awful migraines are staying away and that your creative juices are flowing.

I adore your new design but I have to say when I saw the first photo, it took my breath away. I think the fabric surrounding your design may be Tilda (??) but it so reminded me of a vintage feather eiderdown my grandma used to have. She used to let me sit under it when we visited which was quite special because she didn't have much time for children, having had 13 of her own. As soon as I saw it, that's what popped into my head. Happy stitching my friend ... thanks for all you share with us out here in the w.w.w.

Then I had a long time of more crochet and knitting. Being summer and about to be a new year I am trying to get my embroidery going again thanks to your inspiration.<br />Also I know you are saving for a home. We all need to be helping you and sharing your blog and work with everyone we can. I hope 2018 is the year you will achieve your dream. Also I hope the new baby arrives safely and everything goes smoothly!

Am loving this new design SO much.... will go beautifully with the peg bag I made using "find joy in the ordinary" stitchery. It is wonderful that you feel happy in your own skin. My hair started turning grey in my 20's so I coloured it. My youngest child was born when I was 39 (eldest when I was 20) and I coloured my hair till she started high school .... didn't want to be called "GRANDMA" when I went to pick up the two children lol. I have been very comfortable with my grey gair for the last 12 years. Love the idea of ageing gracefully ... some cultures revere their aged. Love photos from National Geographic of the aged in other cultures with deep life and love lines on their faces and eyes smiling out from sunweathered and crinkled skin .... so much character! Praying that your migraine has gone and you are able to enjoy your weekend spending time with your beloved. Looking forward to Jan Stitching!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603522945383231857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-12036223115925100892017-12-30T09:01:18.221+10:002017-12-30T09:01:18.221+10:00The embroidery is beautiful, the attitude wonderfu...The embroidery is beautiful, the attitude wonderful.

Used to do some when I was young, but it's been years since I've done surface embroidery. (But can barely tolerate knitting or crochet anymore.) Praying for Blossom.
