*pokes head around the door* hi!

Post by Kute Kitty »

Hi!

I don't know if anyone here remembers me. I was a member a while ago but then for all sorts of "too much going on" reasons I went on hiatus a bit, from stitching, from the forum, from other parts of life while I got things in order.

I've still been stitching while I've been away, to be honest though for about the last year I've just been working on wedding and anniversary samplers - mostly for other people - and very little for myself (well, a wedding sampler for me, but it turned out to be a real pain to stitch...although very pretty in the end!)

I'm now back to just doing things that I want to do, with the occasional gift for whichever family member has worked out that bambi eyes work very well on me. I'm currently working on a HAED (which hasn't seen the light of day for over a year and is now moving forward) and also planning my nephew's third birthday present - he is 19 months old now - and future gifts for my husband and brother-in-law. They might both get theirs for Christmas 2015 or something. I'm trying not to put short deadlines on myself any more.

So, it's good to be back! How's everyone? :tea:

Sounds like you have been busy and I agree with not putting short deadlines on yourself unless its something you want to do and enjoy stitching

Wow I've missed this place! Thanks for the warm welcome back guys :) I need to make some sympathy cards right now - it's been a really crazy 24 hours - but will get HAED pictures up soon I promise! As ever it doesn't feel like I've made a lot of progress, but that's what happens with big projects...

How wonderful to have you back here amongst us stitchers!! Real life does intrude, but I'm glad you've not forgotten your pals here. I've put your favourite tipple behind the bar at the Stash & Grab. :P

Welcome back, Kute Kitty! I haven't been around much the last year and a half either due to school, work, and life. I'm glad to see you're back, too! :wave:
