6. Living on the West Coast of Canada. It is a move that 5 years ago changed my life in ways I would never image. This includes Whistler in the summer, Comox Valley in the Fall, Grouse Mountain in the Winter and Vancouver proper in the Spring.

7. The Drum Carder. Infinite fibre possibilities are now in my grasp, due to a simple tool that prepares fibre for spinning.

8. John. When your better half really inspires you to be better and can take the journey with you. This is something rare indeed.

9. Not taking things too seriously. I laugh at myself at least once a day. I laugh with John and least once a day and share a laugh with a friend as well. It’s working the facial muscles, keeping the wrinkles to a minimum, and giving my soul an equally youthful workout. This crocheted ham designed by my friend Leanne says it all.

10. The people who have been so kind to comment on my blog. Who have taken time out of their busy days to read my ramblings, share a bit of themselves as well. It helps me feel connected to others on the days I am drowning in fibre with no hope of escape.

Enjoy the rest of your day. It is my Christmas Trekathon, emergency scarf finishing day and let’s see how much tea you can actually drink in a day type of day. Lazy and wonderful.
