I changed it just slightly by taking out 2017 and changing it to the word "Mum".<br />I have linked to you in the post I wrote up about it. Such a lovely little pattern.

Happy New Year. I've just found your site and hope to get back into embroidery I've done a little this past Christmas on some gifts that I made. I'm going to put all of the patterns into a folder and have handy for when I have a few minutes to spare.

I stay up until all hours to finish things. Same goes for reading, I just can't put books down so I'm up until all hours. I now tend to save it for holidays or travelling. I'm still a book person though, can't use tablets or anything else to read. Love the feel of a book and using bookmarks too.<br /><br />Those scones look fabulous and like you I had a Gaggia for years. I don't drink tea so my coffee maker gets a real hammering. <br /><br />Not moving house makes sense and gives you extra time for the things you love doing. SO have a great year in 2017.<br />xWinifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-12902528738830907852017-01-02T21:35:30.025+10:002017-01-02T21:35:30.025+10:00Feliz Ano Novo!Valéria.Feliz Ano Novo!Valéria.By Neymeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01584422843579112272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-6286433919338312102017-01-02T16:37:47.040+10:002017-01-02T16:37:47.040+10:00Dear Jenny,

It always brought memories back of my mother reading novels to my brother next to me in age while we ate our lunch. She had to do it though because we would pick at each other during the entire meal until she came up with her solution. After taking us back to school she would then go home and eat her own lunch. <br />I am so glad that you and Mr E. are able to have this time together before he starts in at his "new" venture. <br />I have always been a reader but in the past years the only time I have carved out for myself is in bed at night before I go to sleep. The bookmark is so cute. It put into my mind of making it up in a bookmark also and giving it to our 10yr old granddaughter. It would be fun to make her up a new one every year to mark the time. Thank you for your generosity Jenny. You are such a giving person!TerriSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161769399124744018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-50646047296789868442016-12-31T06:39:45.570+10:002016-12-31T06:39:45.570+10:00Thank you for the free stitchery.

From experience, I know the advantages of living in a rented place and also owning a home. Take your time. You can always look at places that come up for sale even if you are not yet in the market. My hubby and I used to spend Sunday afternoons going to open houses for cheap entertainment and just to see what these houses were like with no pressure to decide if it was the one we wanted. It also helped us come up with a list of must haves, wants/desires, and also what we didn't want or care about.

I am a reader, too, no surprise there! I stayed up until the wee hours last night finishing a book. I've always had a hard time putting one down when it was good, and need to just find out the end. Many a day, I've gone to school or work on no sleep! LOL <br /><br />The scones look absolutely delicious. If I were your neighbor, I would pay you to bake for me. =) I try, but I really don't like being in the kitchen any more. I'm so excited you and Mr. E have 3 weeks to play! I pray you will be able to save enough for the down payment on that house you'd like - whatever house it turns out to be. At least you are staying close to Blossom's family! You don't need to respond - just know I love you and pray for you daily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-51053588505997030532016-12-31T03:00:48.330+10:002016-12-31T03:00:48.330+10:00Thank you for the adorable design.

I have fallen behind on reading "The Cat Who" series by Lilian Braun since before Thanksgiving. I hope to jump back in mid January. God will guide you when the time is right to move.

I,...Thankyou so much for yet another lovely design. I,like you, was an avid reader as I don't sleep much and this helped me to endure the long nights and sometimes even help me nod off. These days I don't read as much despite always adding books to my shelf and I am determined to read more this coming new year. Thus, your stitchery will also be made into a bookmark, or 2, or 3......<br /><br />Your decision not to move is probably the less stressful path and shall give you more time. Enjoy your coffee, books, baking, and your beautiful family. Angel hugs.

So with the addition of a new bookmark, that will give me a lot of encouragement. So thank you so much and Happy 2017. And you will not regret waiting to move until you have more money. That is always the smartest thing to do.

Is Mr. E's job close by so he won't have to be gone overnight? I seem to remember that once he had a job where he was gone all week. Best wishes for a wonderful start to the New Year! Yours will begin a little sooner than mine so send some good vibes across the Big Pond to me! Thanks for the stitchery pattern!
