She is a lovely thoughtful person and we are good friends too. There's nothing better than our long conversations about life and friends and books...oh the book conversations are wonderful...oh and now cooking too.<br /><br />Thank you Emily. I had a favourite bought dress that I managed to cut the pattern for this one from. Amazingly it worked really well. I would love to do a pattern class one day I find cutting a pattern for sleeves the hardest. Then I did a bit of cross stitch on the bodice. I'm longing to start some sewing projects my bundle of fabric is growing. I'm inspired by all your projects. I have blinds and curtains and all sorts to make but at the moment no space to work. Hopefully that will be remedied this weekend. <br />Good to talk.<br />take care of yourself and all the littles,<br />debx<br /><br />debby emadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222092755385566586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-36745579311038620252015-02-18T18:08:46.578-08:002015-02-18T18:08:46.578-08:00I can't even begin to imagine how much you mus...I can't even begin to imagine how much you must miss Hannah. My eldest has one more year and then she is off to college. I'm dreading the day she leaves. I hope she remembers me in sweet ways as Hannah does you. She sounds like such a dear soul.<br />I love your gingham dress, and I do believe that is the lovely cropped cardigan that you wore in a previous post. I love your style.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967901886618696506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-1838599083444369992015-02-18T12:01:53.989-08:002015-02-18T12:01:53.989-08:00It's so hard isn't.

We live as close to Hannah now as when she was studying in London and we were in Oxford but somehow we feel further away. I think we've both been busy settling down so don't have quite as much contact. It's been lovely this week though, because she phoned every night on her way home. <br />I so long to clean up and sort everything out. My patience is being sorely tested as each time a job is proposed to take a week it take at least three. I suppose that's the thing with old houses you never know what will need doing. But as you say it will all be worth it and hopefully it will be many, many years before anything big needs doing again. <br />Thanks for the V day wishes. I'm glad that yours was good too.<br />dxdebby emadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222092755385566586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-79883080176102977662015-02-18T06:42:55.430-08:002015-02-18T06:42:55.430-08:00I miss my kids as well, I know the feeling and wis...I miss my kids as well, I know the feeling and wish they could live close by.

I start something but then have to move on to let someone else do their job. I think we have all Friday until Sunday to ourselves so hope to totally finish the kitchen. I can't wait to get a table set up to sit down to supper and to set up my sewing machine to work on all the blinds and curtains...I can't wait.<br /><br />Oh lucky you...how awesome Steph.

And now that spring is definitely in the air...the sun is shining brightly and the garden is calling me. There's a bit of structural work to do there first but then I can play in the garden with all those seeds. <br />It's the hardest thing isn't it? But we always seem to be on the same page and when I missing her more than ever she's feeling exactly the same way. <br />Oh that would be something else Tracey...I wish one day...<br />Have a great week,<br />debxdebby emadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222092755385566586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-84834604223454134362015-02-18T01:10:28.908-08:002015-02-18T01:10:28.908-08:00Hi Caz, thank you it was a good one.

The bees in our area are having a hard time at the moment with storms blowing trees down and a disease affecting old pine trees they like. I have the lavender but will look at planting some of those other plants. Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853693147709202804noreply@blogger.com
