Can you imagine that I started this blog four years ago?
That means that I have managed to sustain my attention and shown commitment for four whole years. For someone like me, with easily distracted syndrome, this is an amazing accomplishment.
I started this as a quilting blog, then somewhere along the way my whole life became involved. Recently I have moved back to my quilting. As my kids get older their lives are their own, not mine to share any more. (although I am sure they would dispute my alleged discretion)
I don’t think I’ve run out of things to say and things to share just yet. Can you imagine if I continued for another four years?

Wow. Four years. Where did that time go? Like most TV series I watch, I think I dropped into your bloglife about three and a half years ago, so missed the first few episodes. I hope nothing really good happened then? Maybe I’ll have to wait for the re-runs?
It’s been a blast sharing your quilting, your life, your family, your musings and most of all your incredible wisdom and enduring optimism.
You made me cry a little – in a totally optimistic way.
Congrats! Four years is a long time 🙂 I just starting following quilting blogs earlier this year — thus, I am looking forward to your next four years!!
I’m very glad that you call in!
I look forward to at least four more years! I love all of your posts, from family, friends, life, quilting and more. You are so creative and it has been a joy getting to know you!
You are so sweet. I’m very glad that our family knows you too.
I’m bowing before you. That’s a lot of pics and a lot of words, a whole lot of ideas and FOUR LORRY LOADS OF COMMITMENT. The next four years will be easy peasy lemon squeezy. Happy bloggy birthday!
Thank goodness for digital cameras. I take at least 15 dodgy photos for every half decent one that I post.
Congrats!!! Isn’t it fun? I had to go back an check my old blog to realize that I started blogging 4½ years ago, haven’t been
counting.
Love the Margaret Atwood quote in the sidebar, I often feel like that too 🙂
Come and be childish with me. It’s quite a nice way to look at the world.
=)
FOur years is a lifetime. Keep up the good work.
I certainly intend to do just that.
Congratulations – great commitment – your pics and stories are always very interesting – and I’ve only been following for about maybe 2 years – keep on keepin on!
Thanks for your interest!
Keep writing and I’ll keep stopping by. Time seems to fly when you’re blogging.
It also keeps a good record of time for me. Things I had tucked away and half forgotten live on this blog.
Still my favourite quilting blog!
Congratulations — looking forward to lots more to come.
Ohhh. Thanks! I’m quite sure there’ll be lots more to come.
Like fair lie I have been reading for 3 and 1/2 years. I have met you, i have one of your quilts. You may never know just how much your empathy and insights have warmed my heart.
A blogging world without peppermint patcher is unthinkable! Will we all be dotty old bats typing away?
I imagine I will be typing on this blog into my dotage. I forgot that I had sent you a quilt. I would like to meet up and spend some more time together soon.
Congratulations Tracey!!!
4 years is a very impressive milestone – you are way out in front of me.
Thanks. It won’t take long for your four years to creep up on you either!
I think I’ve been reading for almost 4 years. My blog turned 4 in July but I missed the anniversary (typical) and I can’t imagine life without it really, all the friends I’ve made. I really do count you as one of the fabbest friends I’ve met through this blogging lark and am looking forward to seeing you again soon. Congratulations on 4 yers of Peppermint Patcher.

Thank you!
Wow, how time flies when you’re having fun! I love the mix of personal and quilting – just perfect.
It’s kind of the balance of my life…
