And I am very impressed with you. I wish I could do all that you have done the first week of yiur spring. But, find it very difficult with working outside of the home. <br />Because of reading this blog I have a smile on my face and just may complete sewing my kitchen curtain/valance. Hopefully some evening after work.<br />Take care.

I have very similar shelf liner with the florals. I and my daughter and son caught Covid week before last. My daughter brought it home from school. Husband was traveling with work and came home with Covid also. so we are all still coughing constantly. I can't wait to be able to get my home deep cleaned again. I am looking very forward to fall arriving. <br /><br />Love Always,<br />Tammy lyonsTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572900779018937820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-33451104604048588772022-09-04T07:21:29.508+10:002022-09-04T07:21:29.508+10:00I am looking forward to our Fall season.

I definitely need to do a lot of deep cleaning. Right now I am taking care of hubby who is having massive back pain once again. While he naps (his meds allow sleep) I spend time watercoloring which brings me great happiness and calms my anxious spirit. Thank you sweet Jennifer for being a true homemaker which inspires me.

I love my wee garden, picking flowers, displacing them in vases and taki g photos I them. I have recently started knitting wee floral brooches, while listening to the radio. And I love listening to God's word onu tube. Recently I listened to a lovely sermon byR. T KENDall. Please pray for Daphne who is I hosp.

You always inspire me to be more grateful for my retired life while filling out with purpose. I fear I don’t fill my days with as much purpose as I could but reading your words help to refocus my daily routine. Having my husband retired is a good thing but unfortunately he often gets me sidetracked with his projects now that he’s home. I kept my focus on the home much better when he was still working and I had the day to myself at home. Lol. However, our freedom to come and go as we please makes it all worth the small inconveniences. Having someone who loves me and wants to spend time with me after 50 yrs has to be a point of gratitude. <br />As always, Jennie, continue your blogging and keeping is focused on what is important! God has graced you with a gift of giving encouragement and purpose to so many! <br />Love you, JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-4237196977166727772022-08-28T23:32:50.154+10:002022-08-28T23:32:50.154+10:00I sew enjoy your posts.

Your new curtain looks so pretty there. I usually hold off my spring cleaning a bit longer until we have finished with fires as they can be such messy things. Its cold here until October usually. I am working outside alot as spring is just around the corner & I am behind on many things.

Now that I am retired I need to tackle each room and the basement. The basement is going to be the worst as it has become a catch-all for items we just don't know what to do with as well as all of my crafts. You have inspired me to get started.

It's the same kitchen sink, tap and dish rack washing up method as we have ! ".<br />I like where and the way you hang your oven mitts ! The metal ring ! I'll have to copy that :) We have a magnetic strip with knives as well :)<br />I lined a kitchen drawer with antislip mat and that seems to be helpig those things from sliding to the back.<br />Almost September ! Looking forward to new patterns and stitcheries :)<br />Thanks for an inspiring weekend blog post !<br />hugs, take care,<br />Joanne<br /> Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367841239911239597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-38056694702460125172022-08-27T16:58:14.249+10:002022-08-27T16:58:14.249+10:00Such a lovely feeling to have a clean home knowing...Such a lovely feeling to have a clean home knowing you have got into those usually forgotten corners!
