Followers-explanation needed!

Can someone explain the followers bit on a blog? I dont get it.Personally, I add blogs to my google reader and follow them there. I do that with anyone that leaves a comment on my blog. What happens when you click to "follow" someones blog? I know i have followers and i see people appeal for followers. Im curious....please someone explain it to me :)

Havent stitched in a while. Probably a combination of having had a stinking cold and just wanting to lie on the sofa at night and stare at the tv, beautiful sunny days that have kept us outside a lot and Caleb refusing to go to bed at his normal time every night this week.

5 and a 1/2 weeks until we go to Florida!

Turn away for a minute....

Yes thats all my threads on the floor. He even "posted" some through into his crib. Bless.

Happy Easter

What a weird week of weather. Heavy snow and gales one day, bright sun and mild temperatures the next. Thats my basket of easter eggs on the window sill and you can see all the snow sitting on the ledge. Today however looks like this

This is my nearest town, Largs. This is for you Rowyn seeing as you mentioned you've visited the Largs "pencil."

We dont have much planned for Easter weekend but im looking forward to the 3 of us hanging out as a family. DH has some time off thanks goodness. If one of us is off the other is usually working so its gonna be nice to have some family time!

Ive been working away on "The Tea room." Something nice and spring-like in the face of all the random snow this week

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!
