Great! I enjoy weekly prompts myself, and trying different things out to see how they feel.

I enjoy these emails. They are thoughtful and creative that isn’t specific to a sewing view point, but the creative and manual way of looking at the world informs the thoughts shared and it remind me of another newsletter that I look forward to reading weekly, Secret Breakfast, that similarly draws inspiring parallels to the world through a food inspired point of view.

I’ll have to look into that one! Sometimes I think a newsletter on food or gardening would have suited me fine.

Good to know! Telling people about what I’m reading helps me to remember, I think that’s secretly why I’m always going on about books.

Just reading your emails makes me relax and feel calm and collected. I don't need more books to read (kindle is like an addiction for me). Just your random thoughts and musings gets me thinking good thoughts and relax a bit-, like taking the time to see what's around me and making me happy.

How wonderful to hear that, thank you! I also feel addicted to Kindle (and Libby), but still, I’m always on the prowl for more books. It’s a disease. 😆

I enjoy your newsletter so much. It's just the right size, so it's one of the few I actually read when I get it. I wouldn't change a thing. :)

I have really been enjoying these posts. I sometimes have to read back a bit because I just get lost in the day! If you had more , I will read it and follow the trail. Some of the paths you’ve pointed to have been just what I needed. If the post continued as they are, they would still be really awesome! Don’t forgot to save a little time for other pursuits! Thank you for your insights and offerings

It seems my comments are not posting. Anyway, third time lucky. I love your Laura Ashely Dress from your other post. So very pretty. A weekly Prompts would be nice. Thank you for posting such interesting and diverse articles. I am very inspired by your posts.

I have just re-read your work days. Your Laura Ashley dress is wonderful. So pretty. I also have a lilac tree and a few plates in the same design as the picture above. A weekly prompt would be lovely. I so enjoy all your articles. Your thoughts direct me to articles I would not usually find. Thank you. xx

Making Time is one of my favorite newsletters. It makes me think about my own practices as well as opening up new ideas and connections through the excellent recommendations. I appreciate the thoughtfulness that goes into each one. Prompts would be fun, but feel free to recommend any books, music, or garden news that catches your interest.

I really like this email. You find a lot of great stuff that's really helpful. I take a few days to go through it all. I'm sure anything you add will be great. It's just going to take me longer to get through it. You could get away with stretching out your content across several newsletters since it's weekly.

I always look forward to the inspiration I feel from your newsletter — celebrating creativity in all its perfectly imperfect forms.

Book and podcast recommendations would be great as well as time blocking ideas.
