The hints of the BOM are so intriguing, so I'm definitely going to have to sign up! Your yard is a never-ending place of beauty and joy. I'm so glad you share it with us so frequently.

The colours are marvelous and I love Lucy's CAL -- even though I am a lurker... I knit best, but it is because I do it more.... The walk in the garden was magic! We are muddy and cold and wet and a glimpse of your spring / summer is delish!

With Emily expecting her fourth it would be nice to do, plus Jim's pet name for me is Sweet Pea.<br />Your garden amazes me. When we bought our house the only thing it had growing in the yard beside sod was oak trees and one bed of monkey grass. To keep finding all of the surprises you have must be so dellightful. I am so glad that Abba blessed you with this house.<br />I am looking forward to the new BOM. It looks so fun.TerriSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161769399124744018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-65705014776300400572018-12-20T09:21:42.106+10:002018-12-20T09:21:42.106+10:00Gosh - what a feast for the eyes this post is.

You've explained it a little more - for beginners?....hmmm I'm tempted. I taught mself a little crotchet a couple of years back. Did some beautiful squares I intended to try and crotchet together but do you think I can remember the stitch I did? I made it up at the time..........now they just languish.....<br />The aloe is gorgeous. We used to have some - I should get some more. <br />Oh and those brownies........I must try and make them from scratch. I love the gluten free Betty Crocker version which I buy on special. my 10 yr old daughter loves making these by herself now. (My 14yr old daughter makes the most amazing tiered cakes/drip cakes with chocolate shards and buttercream......way above me.......)Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317117964695567193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-69281330140942043342018-12-20T07:46:50.571+10:002018-12-20T07:46:50.571+10:00Love your new designs and the photos of your garde...Love your new designs and the photos of your garden. Thank you so much for your recommendation of Jane Brocket's book. I started reading it las night and was absolutely stunned after reading her introduction. I'm an elderly woman and have been this was all of my long life but had no idea there is a name for it, "Domesticity". My passions have never been looked at as other than little hobbies by my family and I don't know another person who is like this either so like the author, I've worked away by myself. This certainly hasn't diminished my enjoyment or satisfaction but it's so heartening to find out that there are others who share these loves. I intend to read her book cover to cover for inspiration and confirmation of the value of Domesticity. Thank you again.

Then I think of all the wool I have stashed away that I really ought to use before buying more especially as I already have a project on the go. I love the Clover crochet hooks - they seemed quite big at first but actually they are really comfy to use. My plan for next year is to spend more time with my sketchbook and NO new quilts!! Watch this space. Your garden looks gorgeous after all that rain. xxLinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406333686298786963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-65372711371572572202018-12-20T05:50:46.919+10:002018-12-20T05:50:46.919+10:00Hello Jenny, I still enjoy visiting your blog pos...Hello Jenny, I still enjoy visiting your blog posts, every day!

Crochet is so much quicker than knitting I must say. I have been looking at your forecast as my girl and her family are heading over there for a break. It will be very muggy for them I imagine.

Looks gorgeous with those Apple butter fabrics ... especially the floral with stripes. How lovely to have your garden growing like Topsy! Looking forward to stitching in 2019. Talk about pavlova ... my beautiful Scottish friend, Susan, brought one of her amazing pavlovas for our Christmas lunch today. As for baking ... this woman is a dynamo! She has made about 24 Christmas cakes, not as many puddings and said that she is no longer counting the batches of shortbread she has made this past week! As well as that she gifted all of us kitchen towels with crocheted tops and has made about 10 aprons (reversible) for 10 great grandchildren! Have a lovely week, Jenny, and a happy and peaceful Christmas with your loved ones.Margaretnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-72662109280808915102018-12-19T16:35:45.168+10:002018-12-19T16:35:45.168+10:00I can already tell I'm going to love Phyllis M...I can already tell I'm going to love Phyllis May's Kitchen!
