Marcia is an amazing person and I am blessed to know her. Of course we've never met face to face, because I live in the USA in the state of Mississippi. <br />Even though you are 31 and I am 61, you are a kindred spirit. I can't tell you how alike you and I are. I love old time crafts and learning about how to knit, sew, crochet...I just love to learn.<br />I grew up in the country in Alabama and know a little about old time skills, ie. gardening, sewing, knitting, crocheting... Right now, I'm trying to get a movable chicken coop made so I can have a couple of laying hens. Supermarket eggs can't compare to fresh. There's a real difference.<br />I like the rug you made. I just read about cutting old tee shirts and making rugs out of them. My grandmother had braided rag rugs that she had made.<br />Well, anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed reading your blog and listening to the music. (Also my kind of music). <br />Keep up the creative work. What would life be without the thrill of making something ourselves, or the thrill of discovering something new in nature or a new skill or new friends. <br />Life is a wonderful adventure if we never lose our childlike wonder.<br />Thanks for sharing your knowledge with others. Knowledge is nothing unless it's shared. <br />I wish you well.<br />Esther "Ellen" KeenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14184249532379616253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662348936086501719.post-76834347364920751462008-10-13T19:25:00.000+13:002008-10-13T19:25:00.000+13:00Thanks for stopping by my blog.

You have a very pretty blog with all the photos of the flowers and that honey looks delicious.<BR/>I don't know a lot about New Zealand and I enjoyed your posts on your other blog about growing up in the countryside.<BR/><BR/>P.S. How do you pronounce your name?Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12036368335364708187noreply@blogger.com
