Your knitting is lovely and, may I suggest, audio books as you knit. I listen to audio books and to radio programs as I knit, spin, quilt, etc. and find my time is profitably doubled.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795037737024485874.post-43939195233197649872011-11-17T15:27:50.637+00:002011-11-17T15:27:50.637+00:00Thank you everyone for your kind comments!

We have read the entire little house series and after watching Little House yesterday - I have decided that we need to begin reading them again! They are so much a part of our family ;o)<br /><br />Sam, I'm so glad you found me again too ;o) I spent many years thinking about moving or staying in Cape Town. Now that we have made the move, I am so glad that we did. We LOVE England - it feels like home for us ;o)Shirley-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678506786099888928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795037737024485874.post-48896470077279667262011-11-17T12:48:38.015+00:002011-11-17T12:48:38.015+00:00I am so glad to have found you again.

I really enjoyed hearing how life is in England as we live in Cape Town and my husbands is from the UK and my family too but I was born in SA. We are also homeschoolers and it is great being able to follow your journey over there as I am always thinking about moving or staying. Look forward to reading up about what you all up to.Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795037737024485874.post-5003669717020948362011-11-17T03:54:18.039+00:002011-11-17T03:54:18.039+00:00I love Little House!

It's amazing how quickly the Christmas season is coming. My favorite time of the year. You are so right about commercialism. I think the most meaningful gifts are those that we create with love. Your family is blessed to have such a creative Mom. :)I look forward to seeing the progression of these beautiful projects.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002880968350629169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795037737024485874.post-24544555289991038912011-11-17T01:13:05.518+00:002011-11-17T01:13:05.518+00:00That's my favorite episode of Little House!

My sister lives in Cornwall England and I lived outside London about ten years ago so I've always had a heart for England. Thanks for visiting my blog also. I posted the link to the hat pattern in the comments.
