I'm not sure. I hope not. :) How awful that must have been for you to lose all the blogs you follow! I am always fearful of making some little mistake like that! I hope that you can get back in touch with all who you visit with. :) I love your blog, by the way, and am happy to call you friend. :)Theresa MacNaughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034781876024849974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258439638299238385.post-31071026780378290302011-08-26T05:49:21.042-05:002011-08-26T05:49:21.042-05:00Oh dear, Donna!

You had to be sick when you saw you had deleted all the blogs you were following! <br />I have mine in 2 places....my sidebar AND in Google Reader, too. That way, I can cross reference. The reader lets me scan quickly & see what I'm missing.<br /><br />I've honestly thought about taking off my followers widget. It can get into your head. <br />I'm sure it was an accident that ANY of your followers dropped off. I can't imagine why they would leave such a kind, honest, thoughtful creative writer such as yourself.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />RettRettabughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974677657528087286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258439638299238385.post-56042828458220306202011-08-25T17:27:04.526-05:002011-08-25T17:27:04.526-05:00I am reading your posts.

This is an interesting topic. Life has been very busy for me lately, and I can't keep up with the reading. Sometimes all those unread posts feel like a lot of pressure.

I think your artwork is superb. I'm not a dog person, but I like that you are. I sometimes send messages to bloggers but I don't 'follow' any blogs. I stopped checking on some favorite blogs - usually because the blogger is doing something different than what attracted me to them initially or if they haven't posted anything in a really long time. <br />I don't think that will happen with yours. <br />I am looking forward to your FWQAL and I love the fabrics you found.Sewing In CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300613226195215689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258439638299238385.post-36721447337633725112011-08-24T20:36:58.314-05:002011-08-24T20:36:58.314-05:00Hi Donna, I don't want you changing a thing.

I loved the tutorials that you do and the new things that you show us as you go. I enjoyed Fez's blog and now I enjoy seeing the pictures of Tag and reading his blog.

I'm like you, if<br />I find a blog that I like, I stay with it<br />and keep it in my list. I only have 29<br />followers, I just started blogging in May<br />of this year, and I treasure everyone<br />who follows. I can't afford to lose anyone<br />with my little following list. Everyone<br />has been wonderful and has left sweet<br />comments, so my confidence has been boosted. I treasure my followers and their comments.<br />I adore blogging and I look forward to<br />finding new blog friends every day.<br />Warm Regards,<br />Susan B., Western MA<br />p.s.

Am I too boring? etc...I think some of us use our follower numbers to decide if we are doing a good blogging job. I don't know. I'm trying to get over it. Plus you have to consider the possibility that some followers are just deleting their accounts cause they don't have the time to read blogs. That could be another reason for the decline of followers.<br /><br />I do feel bad unfollowing a blog so I will only do it if the blog hasn't been updated in forever or the person has announced I'm closing my blog. Anyways, blogging should be about fun and interacting with like-minded people, it is not a popularity contest. <br /><br />I really like reading your blog plus its pertty too...;D You won't see my unfollowing it anytime soon.<br /><br />JenJennifer M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07321236895970913325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258439638299238385.post-35455243361729117722011-08-24T11:48:22.048-05:002011-08-24T11:48:22.048-05:00Don't go changing, to try to please anybody! ...Don't go changing, to try to please anybody! You have a great blog and like DeeDee said, it is one of the first I started following. I had a lot of blogs in my google reader, some I did not really read and wanted to cull some out. It is such an ordeal to take them off and then the next time I log on they are back! Now I am more selective about who I follow and try to keep those to blogs with common interests. So girlie, you stay just the way you are. Some of those numbers droppoing may have thought you were an auto repair blog or a pizza delivery serivce. Those that know you and regularly read your blog will be here!<br />DebMosaic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715004978582753127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258439638299238385.post-28219957439903309712011-08-24T11:36:16.311-05:002011-08-24T11:36:16.311-05:00I feel the same way..lost two followers and wonder...I feel the same way..lost two followers and wondered if it was something I did....but then realized blogger is not always friendly.....I would never unfollow you..your blog is wonderful....<br />hugsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258439638299238385.post-90808940713116351952011-08-24T09:59:32.758-05:002011-08-24T09:59:32.758-05:00Following on blogger is not reliable from what I h...Following on blogger is not reliable from what I have learned. Sometimes no followers and no blogs I follow. I do get excited when I get a new follower however I also know from my blog and reading others consistently that not all followers are truly caring commenting "blog friends". Those numbers are a precious few and mean the very most. Quality over quantity is what I wish to remember. Your blog is so you and I treasure YOU Miss Donna. You are such a kind hearted, generous soul who is also extremely talented with needle and thread. Such an amazing combination in this world.

I just think blogger has so many issues. Half the time our 'blogs we follow' list isn't on our dashboard. We've learned that's not a reliable place to find all the blogs we like. What I wish blogger would fix is make leaving comments easy. I still have a lot of trouble and it's time consuming to leave comments on some blogs. I'm a big believer in commenting though. Keep being you, Donna, and I hope your list returns!

I have had so many back problems I don't get to blog much anymore but I always come to yours when I do.. I never look at my followers list..not sure why...I write my blog to share my love of crafts not for the love of followers...lol...I hope I inspire people to return to visit, but there is so much competition out there in blogland it would be an up hill battle for me... one little lonely crafter in the stream of things... <br /><br />I will continue to come visit as you inspire me lots and I love your pets and there adventures lots too... :D<br /><br />my followers come and go....

OMGOSH!! What am I going to do. How will I find all my friends. I am lost!!<br /><br />Slow down. This happens every now and then. Find something else to do. Come back later. Ahhhh....there they are.<br /><br />I new from the short list of updated blogs that Blogger was having issues again.<br /><br />Donna, peoples lives change. You lose a follower when they remove their own blog and profile. FB have taken many away from the blogs. But I so much prefer Blogs to FB. Just keep posting what makes you happy and all of us that care are here..commenting or not...because we love you and we love your blog.<br /><br />Happy Day!<br />xx.

I really hope I get spared of doing it.<br />I sometimes get rid of some blogs I follow because in time I find they are not as interesting anymore. That's life! It's like friends, they share your life with you as long as you have things to share or talk about, sometimes you are just not sharing anymore and the friendship ends somehow.liszhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589113140944248914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258439638299238385.post-1450884386248225142011-08-24T02:44:16.262-05:002011-08-24T02:44:16.262-05:00Donna~You are so funny girlfriend...you truly make...Donna~You are so funny girlfriend...you truly make me smile! <br /><br />Just tonight I picked up my strawberry sachet I won from you and was amazed once again at your talent.

I don't really understand the following thing..does everyone that is following my blog check their list of who they are following every day? I know I have bloggers on my left sidebar that havn't posted in months and I really should take them off ...I will have to be very careful and maybe write their name down on paper so I don't delete everyone.<br />Another thing I wonder about is ...why is it getting almost impossible to leave comments on some blogs..is everyone making it so you have to sign in to google account~or is blogger doing it? Very confusing to me and if some bloggers have it fixed like that then I guess I just won't be able to comment and also can't enter in a lot of the give aways either. Nothing I can do about it so might as well just not worry about it :)nancy hugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16048620969205596927noreply@blogger.com
