In...I still love that table. Absolute brilliance. <br /><br />Interesting comments on the classics you read. I loved The Tenant of Wildfell Hall but then I read it when I was about 15 and hopelessly romantic. I tried the first few pages of Cold Comfort Farm a few months back and wasn't drawn in at all but I'll give it another go sometime I'm sure.<br /><br />Good luck with everything 2013 has in store!Nose_in_a_bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154323912093068113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-67715635249426798502013-01-03T21:56:37.352+00:002013-01-03T21:56:37.352+00:00I am envious of your embroidery...maybe one day I ...I am envious of your embroidery...maybe one day I will try! I was going to try and put my new ukelele to use this year but Easy Jet restrictions mean it is going to get left behind in the UK unfortunately.<br /><br />I am surprised by your opinion of the Tenant of Wildfell Hall but I guess I can see your point. For me I just simply adore the way all the Bronte girls write. I find delight in the words more than the story sometimes...and that is what that book is about I suppose...Well for me anyway...<br /><br />You have achieved a fair bit though - makes me wonder if I should set more goals! xxxThe Curious Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16920550974303475865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-12285054234144765652013-01-02T14:31:40.370+00:002013-01-02T14:31:40.370+00:00I absolutely love the photo album idea with your o...I absolutely love the photo album idea with your own cross stitch twist, what a lovely touch. I would be delighted with a gift like that.<br /><br />You have also inspired me to purchase The Turn of the Screw this morning as I have taken up my own 'Read the Classics' resolution.<br /><br />Thank you for your lovely blog with genuinely entertaining anecdotes, and interesting insights. One of my new favourites.<br /><br />Also, I hope all goes well with the new job, no doubt you will smash it! <br /><br />CB :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-76794444170809617912012-12-31T11:46:13.870+00:002012-12-31T11:46:13.870+00:00I'd say that's pretty standard for complet...I'd say that's pretty standard for completing resolutions, not sure I even did half of mine! I LOVE 'I Capture The Castle' and I've just read somewhere else that 'Gone With The Wind' is fab but...the size! I would like to read more classics instead of just copping out and watching the movies instead... Totally think your amazing table is worth counting that resolution :)Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873895703631876934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-16394717947478742762012-12-30T21:08:39.517+00:002012-12-30T21:08:39.517+00:00It looks to me as if you got way over 50%.

I'...I actually really enjoyed your book reviews! I'm currently halfway through a book of short stories by Henry James, the last one being The Turn Of The Screw. I saw a really good adaptation of it on TV a while ago so I'm looking forwards to reading it. If you like a good 'ghost' story, I'd recommend The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, or any of Susan Hill's ghost stories...Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14491620286385649324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-91293446087584497822012-12-30T17:08:27.819+00:002012-12-30T17:08:27.819+00:00So much to comment on here...!

Firstly I'm glad that you didn;t delete the resolutions page and pretend it never happened because really, looking back on it, isn't it better to have achieved five and a half things than none at all? How many would you have done if you hadn't had the list?<br /><br />Also, you made me chuckle talking about sweating trying to do French knots - I can imagine, I'd be the same. I've managed about 10 in my whole life - the finished article is gorgeous :) <br /><br />I'm quite tempted to attempt the Classics challenge next year - I'm sure I have at least twelve on my shelves unread.... xxLucy in the Cloudshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12950976124841220605noreply@blogger.com
