I am way behind on commenting on your posts, but especially enjoyed the pages you shared from your journaling Bible, and love seeing your sea, and lambs, gardening and crafting. When I take account of what I have finished in a day I tend to think I am always behind on my "to do" list...not enough hours in a day to do all I want...but how grateful I am that the Lord allows me time for creative pursuits. Others may be more gifted than I am, but the creative process brings me joy and I pray honors Him. xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542147042521831239.post-33378451807464938122019-05-29T13:45:27.186-07:002019-05-29T13:45:27.186-07:00I've enjoyed reading your post and seeing your...I've enjoyed reading your post and seeing your craft today. It's so important to slow down and collect our thoughts, we consume so much - material goods, TV / radio programmes etc. We've just lived in a caravan for a few days at the weekend but back home I'm seeing all the unnecessary things we allow to clutter our home and lives.

Many times I say “whee did the day go and what have I done.” And my husband lets me know I have done more than I give myself credit for accomplishing. From what you post about doing, you certainly do a lot in a day! Beatrice P.

I have always enjoyed the seasons lived in an agricultural surrounding like I did growing up. There were always distinct chores to be done with each season in readiness for the next one.<br />Your knitting and crochet is lovely. The yarn for your snoods looks very similar to the yarn I used for the shawls. Does it feel the same?<br />I love the descriptions you make of your surroundings. They are very poetic and beautiful. You should write a book about your new home. Seriously.
