Hubby's job was downsized a week ago, now we are looking at moving again, after 16 years here (and we're more of pack rats, since we could). It is much easier to spread out than it is to downsize all those memories and special things we've collected from other family members (some who are no longer alive). Have fun in your new, permanent home.

Your writing helps me see and feel your home. Lol, although I am not consuming sugar these days I can almost taste the biscuits and the loaf as you describe them. I see the ingredients on the shelves of your pantry and daydream of what you'll turn them into as I know you do too. Even at this stage of our lives we can still be blessed with newness of things. Your new home blesses you and sharing with all of us is a blessing for us too. I look forward to reading many happy messages about your new home. So happy Mr. E. finally has his own shed and the birds aren't afraid of Sophie.

I love the new pincushion's shape. Your weekly pincushion designs have been lovely with the varied shapes. Perfect for gifts. You have certainly made your new house a home already. Love your sewing room and I wish I could organise my pantry as well as yours. I know it wouldn't stay that way LOL. Enjoy your home. Angel hugs.

I was so worried about having to move but eventually after much stress we were able to buy it and I was so relieved. I helped my daughter buy her first home 18 months ago as I wanted her to have that security after 7 years of various rentals and house shares that were sometimes very stressful for her. Now she has that peace of mind and I am so grateful that I was able to do that for her. Thank you so much for the beautiful pincushions and for the photos, your pantry looks brilliant.

I'm currently playing in mine - trying to excavate the tables!! That is a great pantry. Shallow shelves are the best. When we moved here I had to change my thinking, as previously we had corner pantries with shallow shelves, but this time it is three deep cupboards. However, like you, by changing my way of thinking I've made it work rather well. (It does need a good tidy up again now, but it doesn't take long.) Good on you for taking your time to work out what is going to work best for you. Enjoy the process.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288331185772160975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-35493467664592704302018-10-13T04:22:11.433+10:002018-10-13T04:22:11.433+10:00You write so beautifully!

A pantry doesn't have to be directly in the kitchen...mine is downstairs in the basement and called "the fruit room" (not really sure why, but maybe the constant 60 degrees temps down there keep fruit longer??). A friend decided that the way I have it organized it appears to be a grocery store - like with like! So, why am I fanatically organized in some areas and apparently not at all in others?? Just loving the glimpses of your home! I really think the way you have moved the sewing machine/cutting table makes so much more sense...the "dead corner" is a great place to put everything you need for your project at hand (as well as a few other things)...within reach but also not in danger of being accidentally pushed onto the floor. You can easily reach the whole of the cutting table and your new ironing board is perfect!!Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-31932605393378034772018-10-13T03:34:40.588+10:002018-10-13T03:34:40.588+10:00I love what you are doing in your new home…..I love what you are doing in your new home…..graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801648716163653446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-79664007037539919062018-10-13T03:24:44.249+10:002018-10-13T03:24:44.249+10:00Thanks what LOVELY photos and stories xxBless you ...Thanks what LOVELY photos and stories xxBless you both in your LOVELY new homexxKingsailKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04530534910295203663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-34365263703455177922018-10-13T03:15:09.665+10:002018-10-13T03:15:09.665+10:00Dearest Jenny,

I know I've felt many of the same feelings that you've felt as I went from rentals - to my own (which then I lost due to unemployment - to multiple rentals, and finally back now to owning my own home again. I've been in it now for 3 months and am still coming to terms with what I want to do in it.
