I am not a weaver, so a beginner's type explanation is fine.<br /><br />I enjoy reading about your cats and Roy the dog, about Bubbalee and her story. <br />I really enjoy when you take a road trip and show us the photos afterwards.<br />I enjoy reading about your family, but I'm not asking you to include more about them, i just mean it is interesting to hear about the ups and downs of your life.<br />Most of all, i enjoy your particular outlook on life, you have a very much glass half full attitude, and i love your turn of phrase, so your positive bright happy colourful creative animal-loving blog entertains me enormously and I enjoy it just the way it is.<br />warmest regards<br />liz, (my life in Ireland)SpinMeAYarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986376083536594071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-58317829302788795012011-08-01T08:47:28.801-04:002011-08-01T08:47:28.801-04:00I'm new to weaving so I really enjoy seeing yo...I'm new to weaving so I really enjoy seeing your latest weaving creations ... love all of the color and find inspiration in what you are creating.

Your love and respect for animals always make me smile...and sometimes I even share in your pain as in the passing of Eddie...I lost my Amy at the same time...but I share in your every days as well. I am a weaver so I always enjoy your writing about that...I just can not point to one thing I just always know I am about to enjoy a small slice of your life when I read your words. The kitty pictures always make me smile as they are the most relaxed animals I have ever seen and Roy, well that goes with out saying...he looks the picture of happiness and contentment! So for me there is no one thing that keeps me reading your blog except maybe the variety or the surprise, never boring.
