scottish newbie here saying hello

Post by ni73 »

hi there im from scotland and im 38 mum of 5 and slave to man lol.i would just like to take the time to thank you all for having me.
i have been doing cross-stitch on and of for few years but sadly after the split from my ex (who threw alll my cross-stitch things out) im having to gradually start again.I really enjoy it and having M.E. i feel that it relaxes me but can only do it when kids are in bed.
Am looking forward to meeting other stitchers out there who share the pas :D

Hello and welcome from another member in Scotland! (I would say Scottish but I'm only a half-breed! Scots Mum/English Dad).

That's awful that your Ex threw out all your stuff! I'm sure all the members here will help you to gather more stash (mostly by telling us when there are sales on!).

What part of Scotland are you in?

I'm in Dalkeith just outside Edinburgh.

Welcome from Australia and great to have you with us. What a horrible thing for your ex to do, but good to know he is now your ex.

Looking forward to seeing your WIP's. If I can get pics up anyone can using photo bucket. There is a thread about it in Tips and Tricks.
