FOR TODAY, November 3, 2020
Outside my window...
Its cold and dark. Because yes, yet again I was awake at 4 am. A lot on my mind I guess. I did fall asleep last night however, so that's good.
I am thinking ...
Hard to believe that this is my last ever Simple Woman's Daybook from the UK. Next one will be on the flip side in Canada. What an incredible journey its been. Praying now that all goes well from here on in without any hiccups and that I don't catch the virus when I am travelling.
I am thankful for ...
All of your prayers and happy thoughts. Also I have found a wonderful home for Mitzie. I know she will be well loved and cared for. Having to give her up is heartbreaking, but its a tiny bit easier knowing she will be as loved and cherished as she has been with us. And to another Canadian, with a son who will love her and play with her. This is a great blessing to me. You cannot imagine. I really feel this has happened through Divine intervention. A real tender mercy.
In the kitchen ...
Nothing new but I am sharing my recipe for Croque Madame.
Rich and incredibly indulgent. Yes.
On my "To Cook" list ...
Half Baked Harvest. Simple Baked Italian Oregano Meatballs.
Good to know ...
Its all in the attitude . . .
I am wanting to create ...
The Patchwork Heart. Granny Shawl Tutorial.
Holly Pips. LOVE the colours of this.
Susie Marie Knits on IG. Angry Cat. This is so cute!
Modflowers. Christmas Pudding. Also cute.
House Wren Studio. Love this.
I am reading ...
Praying Women, by Sheila Walsh
Sheila Walsh shares practical advice directly from God’s word, showing us how to:
- know what to say when you pray
- understand how to use prayer as a weapon when you are in the midst of a struggle
- pray as joy-filled warriors, not anxious worriers
- let go of the past and stand on God’s promises for you now
Sometimes when your mind is all abuzz, you just need a little bit of something extra to help you focus.

"Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden,
with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature,
with a warm and cozy cottage."
