So glad I did, Jen you are an inspiration, time to look at a life of declutter and mess and get back to basics. I haven’t cooked anything decent for my family of men for a while so time for that too.

My husband is a Minister of Religion and we've always had a large house provided for us. He retires soon and we are also looking for our first/last house. I can't say I totally enjoy the process but it certainly is interesting! and, like you, we are trusting God to 'find' us the right one. Because we've moved often, I regularly cull ..BUT... we've always had such big houses it's been too easy to keep more than I need....dealing with that issue is a work in progress. God bless in your hunting/declutter.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513811228168615391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-54346093993613031972018-07-20T12:19:11.468+10:002018-07-20T12:19:11.468+10:00Jenny Dear you are very wise to sort and purge thi...Jenny Dear you are very wise to sort and purge things before you move. I thought I had done a good job of it all...however I have waaaay toooo much stuff for our much smalller forever home. So the charity shops here in our new state will be the recipients of my treasures. Your cookies look delightful. Yes, I did consume lots of pantry and cold foods before moving. Love your new Jane Austen stitchery. <3 Createologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141896048450385243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-91591838532985233822018-07-20T02:26:40.843+10:002018-07-20T02:26:40.843+10:00Hubby and I have moved many times, twice in the l...Hubby and I have moved many times, twice in the last 5 years (this last one over 1800 miles). Like you, I take very seriously the purging process. It is so disheartening (to me, anyway) to move and then realize I should have disposed of all that extra stuff that I really don't need any more.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing how your story unfolds.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389829595981028640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-42753185586720440002018-07-18T21:29:36.084+10:002018-07-18T21:29:36.084+10:00I love the pics you take of your precious girls.

Trying to stay off too much sugar and fat without a lot of success. I love baking for family visiting, but then find I eat the leftovers. Your embroideries as usual are beautiful. Thank you for sharing so generously. I have used a number of your free patterns over the years, and bought one or two from your shop. Blossom is looking so happy with her little daughters. God Bless, and best wishes in the house search.xx barcordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638897356633828187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-67184009081188843452018-07-18T15:03:08.897+10:002018-07-18T15:03:08.897+10:00Three hours sorting through cookbooks sounds very ...Three hours sorting through cookbooks sounds very relaxing to me. I don't have a large collection of cookbooks, but I do have quite a few books, and they could use a culling. I may have to do that in August when I'm finished with school. This post sounded like a lazy little stream meandering from place to place. It sounds more peaceful. The cookies are enough to send me to the kitchen for a snack - sadly not of good cookies!Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-69087870313969259542018-07-18T12:50:50.813+10:002018-07-18T12:50:50.813+10:00It's an American product so I had to purchase ...It's an American product so I had to purchase mine through an Australian supplier on Etsy.

I read it this morning & thought this is so very true! It's easy for me to stop buying more things but so hard for me to get rid of things. I think this quote will help me. <br /><br />I do hope you find your home soon. <br /><br />Jane Austen! I have a whole collection of her quotes. I collect quotes & so enjoy just reading through them occasionally. I love this one! I've read all of her books, some many times & never noticed this one before. It's going into my collection.

However, my home would be much more streamlined without my family as the are all hoarders and struggle to let anything go at all. I went through my cookery books recently and a few bags left the house, I do still have over 100 though. Baking is one of my passions, it makes me happy and I love cake too so the majority are baking books. xKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373043952789494619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-32368007280286367012018-07-17T21:21:35.068+10:002018-07-17T21:21:35.068+10:00Oh I love the pic of your girls - so beautiful!!! ...Oh I love the pic of your girls - so beautiful!!!
