Thoughts to Weave
Last post I promised you a guest writer ~ someone very dear to my heart. I have known him my entire life. When I was growing up and other people would ask who my hero was, I always replied "My brother!" He has it all: he is handsome {when we were growing up girls offered me money for his pictures.. but I would not let them buy any. Naturally this made them want them even more!}, he is intelligent and he has a great sense of humor. {Sorry ladies, he is married!} When he sent me the following, I immediately shot back with an email asking, "May I please post your list?" Being the Dear Brother {DB} that he is, he wrote back granting his permission. Before you read his thoughts, take a moment and read my description of As the Wool Turns at the top of my blog and the quote I have at the bottom of my blog. Now without making you wait any longer, I present to you:
Thoughts to weave.....
1. The whole world is a ball of wool. Be careful how you weave it.
2. Life's tapestry waits for no man.
3. I was spinning and weaving when a bead got in my eye. I woke up and found I had pulled the wool over my eyes.
4. As the wool turns I sat on a knitting needle.
5. Wet wool is hard to love.
6. Every person has a thread to weave, discovering yours is wet can be the pits.
7. Every person has a thread to weave, discovering yours came from an ugly sheep stinks.
8. The spinning stops here.
9. Growing up as the Knitted Zebra's brother, I could always tell when she was mad at me. At Christmas I would get a sweater made from steel wool.
10. Don't weave while driving.

Those are great!!
I'd love to see more posts from The Knitted Zebra's Brother. :-)
Loved to read "thoughts to weave", can't help it, but they made me smile. # 10 does not apply to me. ;o) and of course # 9 neither. I would love to make my brother something with steal wool, he deserves it. ;o)
About your brother's clever sayings: "Sometimes the thread he weaves turns out to be a yarn."
You see, I've known him longer than you have, and it's harder for him to pull the wool over my eyes! But I have to admit, he is all the nice things you say he is. A really fine man, and still handsome enough that we could probably sell a few of his pictures-----however, there is that cute Brad Pitt and George Clooney to compete with!

To all brothers who receive steel wool sweaters, I would like to caution you not to wear them in the rain or in the snow unless you prefer rust colored sweaters!

That description of Knitted Zebra's brother sounds a lot like my brother too! What a coincidence!
