I had a quiet day ...Happy Mother's Day to you. I had a quiet day to catch up on blog posts. I read yours every time I receive one, but there is so much I want to save (not just patterns). Which is why I am only now commenting on this post. I am in the process of putting back my house after having moved my father in with me to care for him until his going home to our Lord. It had taken taken a real toll on my house cleaning as I had spent the year before going to his house every day to sit with him and cook for him. He had early Alzheimer's and would forget to eat. So house cleaning to a position of 2nd place and then only surface cleaning :> (I had also been newly diagnosed with Fibromyalsia and in my 7 year with chronic back nerve pain). Today I was doing some much needed laundry and as I was hanging up my tops I noticed that everyone of them had what looked liked grease spots all over them. I was so frustrated I came back to reading your blog emails and the very next post was this one about cleaning your washing machine. I have a top loader and have never had any problems with it until now. So luckily I had vinegar and oils to make up a small batch and the machine is running now. Tomorrow I will look around for a scrubber with a handle so I can reach the bottom of the drum and do a major cleaning of the washer and see if it helps then figure out what I can use to get the spots out! Isn't is great how God knows just what you need and when you will need it!! Thanks, I so enjoy your writings and it is good to hear God's word sprinkled through out your writings like Gold. <br />Peascodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11950203914710533372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-72848052835040665012020-04-06T03:09:11.724+10:002020-04-06T03:09:11.724+10:00Happy Birthday!

I want to comment on the lovely idea of the table runner atop your washer. My dryer still runs very efficiently, so I have not replaced it, but the top is rusted. It was in the home when we bought it 15 years ago. I thought about using a special paint like Rustoleum or contact paper. I should fix it. Oh, and yes, a doorstop tutorial would be welcome if you decide you'd like to share. My mother used to make those. I have one particular door that could use one.

I too closed my IG account and I have never signed up for FB. My, ahem, addiction is YouTube. You've inspired me to limit my time on YT. I must confess, I am not giving it up completely (yet), but I have prayed about and discerned that the Lord is nudging me to wean myself from YT. Baby steps. Thank you for all the lovely photos, recipes, embroidery designs (I am a member of your Faith in Hand club), and Biblical encouragement. As long as you continue your blog, I shall continue to be blessed. Thank you.

I'm sorry to know that, but certainly understand how much work it can be to keep up with several social media accounts. I just wanted you to know that I missed you on IG, so am following you here. Thanks for sharing (in the previous post) about your medical concerns, and how you're handling them. I admire your resolve, and your unlimited faith. Take care of yourself.

I just read your "second last newsletter" and wanted to thank you for everything you've shared over the many years I've been following and reading your posts and newsletters. I have a wonderful collection of patterns which I can pass down to my daughters and grandchildren. Your precious testimony has always been an inspiration and comfort. In every post, whether it be about embroidery, cooking, homemaking, your love for Jesus shines brightly. Follow God's leading...guard your heart and time. Leaving IG and FB is a small price to pay for less stress and more time to focus on what is truly important. And just in case HE instructs you to give up the website, please know you have planted many good seeds and will reap a harvest accordingly.

I don't think I've ever in my life cleaned my washer as you described. Wiped down the outside, yes, and cleaned the bleach cup, but that's about it. I think I will do a little more with my top-loader this week - at least the vinegar, because I bought cleaning vinegar just last week! It's difficult to keep anything clean with three people using the equipment, and two of them a bit careless about such things. =) Your laundry looks as inviting as the res of your house, with the lovely details you added.

You are an inspiration to us all and a ray of sunshine each and everyday. Thank you. My cupboard underneath my laundry trough is overdue for a clean out so you have inspired me yet again. My laundry is small but because it is next to kitchen and where the fridge is it is on view all day every day as we live in a small apartment. I did have a magnificent laundry about 17 years ago but silly me never appreciated the space I had as it was a lovely large new home but my mum died 2 weeks after we moved in and the house though beautiful made me sad and empty. It was just a house not a home. We moved 15 mths later into an apartment. Major downsize. Regrets? Financially not a good decision but living more contented life and never seen so much in all my life. Retirement 3.5 years ago has helped. Love your blogs. Thank you. You have kept me on track so many times.

If so, if you would be so kind as to send me a link to that post you wouldn't have to talk all about it again. :) Thanks so much!
